Graphic patterns scaling

Summary

A scaling page showing the Matrix pattern at four sizes, 50, 100, 200 and 400 percent, as a continuous four-band strip with guidance on staying within legible limits.

Visual description

Cream (#F4F0E8) page with a compact header (title "Graphic patterns / Scaling", page "150"). The left column states patterns should align to the base grid and may be scaled half or double, with a note that they should never get so small the detail becomes illegible or so large the pattern reads as a graphic. The main area is one wide rounded panel split into four vertical bands labeled "50%", "100%", "200%" and "400%", each showing the same plus/cross Matrix motif growing from a fine dotted texture on the left to bold open crosses on the right.

Key takeaway

Showing scale as a single continuous strip that steps from smallest to largest, so the usable range and its limits are obvious in one image. Pairing the visual with explicit too-small and too-large warnings rather than just min and max numbers.

Reuse notes

A reusable way to document the scale range of any pattern, texture or motif. The labelled percentage-band strip is a clean, compact device. Belongs in sequence with the pattern types, colour, alignment, use and misuse pages. The Matrix motif is F1-specific; keep the four-band method.
