Rasterimalleja

Rasterimalleja is a Finnish term that translates to "raster patterns" or "raster examples." It generally refers to a collection or display of various raster graphics or motifs designed to be used as illustrative examples or templates. These patterns can encompass a wide range of visual elements, including textures, decorative designs, and graphical elements.

The term is often encountered in contexts related to graphic design, digital art, and textile design. In graphic design, rasterimalleja might be used to showcase different halftone effects, dither patterns, or pixel-based textures. These examples help designers understand the visual impact of different rasterization techniques and choose appropriate settings for their projects.

In digital art, rasterimalleja could refer to libraries of pixel art or scanned images that serve as inspiration or building blocks for new creations. Artists might use these examples to study techniques for creating shading, depth, or specific visual styles within the limitations of pixel-based graphics.

For textile designers, rasterimalleja can represent sample patterns that demonstrate how raster graphics can be translated into fabric prints. This might include examples of repeating patterns, floral motifs, or abstract designs rendered in a pixelated or scanned style, intended for use on clothing, upholstery, or other textiles. The term emphasizes the visual and exemplary nature of the patterns presented.
