The Gradiation Of An Islamic Pattern

As a way to promote myself I wanted to create an information guide on how an Islamic Pattern is structured. I wanted to present the data on a sheet of folded A1 paper which as you read and unfolded you would eventually be presented with a full A1 poster with my Islamic pattern on it.
This is a small section of what the pattern looked like. I wanted to pack as much detail inas I could purely because it was going to be printed off at large scale, but also because I love making detailed work.
A4: This is the first page that is presented on an A4 piece of the folded A1. This page looks right at the core of an Islamic pattern, looking at the basic shapes and geometry that underlies the pattern.
A3: As you unfold the first piece of A4 you are presented with the next page which is A3 size. This page shows how the main shapes (the star and hexagon), fit into the cobweb like lines.
A2: As you unfold the A3 page it reveals the A2 page. This page shows how all of the information displayed on the other pages fits together. This page displays the full gradiation of an Islamic pattern. This page could be used as a poster, but as the reader unfolds this page the final poster is revealed.
A1: As the reader unfolds the A2 sheet the final page is revealed. The full sized Islamic pattern is shown and can be used as a poster or simply folded back down into a booklet.
