A Tessellation (or Tiling) is when you cover a surface with a pattern of flat shapes so that there are no overlaps or gaps.
When I first saw a tessellation (from my lecture's slide presentation, and he said that we have do to this) , The first thing that comes in my mind was;
"WOW! How the heck am I gonna do this....Fish!!"
I really had no idea on how do you create a simple yet complex looking tessellation.
SO, OFF TO THE AWESOME INTERNET!
For better understanding on how to a simple tessellation and honestly speaking it was not as hard as is seams....you just need a REALLY long ruler and other drawing materials.
I took information,tips and tricks from this website, and I was doing complicated looking but yet simple to do, TESSELLATIONS!

Now time for the presentation part!
We had to design not ONE but SIX tessellation and each of them had some criteria to fulfill and we must use the elements of design as our main focus on each of the design.
