More polygonal tilings
I finally got smart and decided to make some polygonal tilings that were completely made using a computer instead of doing hand work. You can download a cool free java program called geogebra that allows you to do a bunch of cool dynamic geometry. I made each shape once using geogebra and then copied pasted and rotated to form the tesselation in photoshop. I like the second one which really shows the strong connections between triangles, hexagons and circles.
