Since there are so many different types of scrolled patterns (intarsia, portrait, compound... the list goes on), it would be interesting to hear what people regard as the most crucial aspects that a non-woodworking designer needs to consider when producing a pattern for a scroller.
I like segmentation and for me it's critical that the designer should separate areas of contrasting color. I also hate it when I have to fit one piece into the middle of another, as with fitting pupils into eye balls, so I like patterns that don't have such features.
If you were commisioning an artist to design a pattern for you, how would you instruct that artist?
