putting the urban into the nature

I started panicking that I hadn't really included any urban factor with in the design. I knew I didn't want to add any urban imagery in as I had tried and tried before to do this and it was just frustrating me so I looked at how I could do it in other ways.
I decided to tone down the bright colours in the designs and begin to make them look a little more desaturated. This would allow them to fit easily in with their environment and not look too out of place. I took all the colour out at first but then decided this was too much and wouldn't overwhelm the walls like I wanted it too.

I then desaturated them a small amount to give the idea of dim-ness and slight dirt. I lived the colours it created and it toned down the pattern a little so that as a whole wall i wouldn't be overwhelming. This seemed like I good solution to how to get them to fit in with the idea of urban, being made to join an urban properly.
