In creating this pattern I used color and transparency to emphasize the overlapping of the K's that make up this pattern. The lowest part is the most transparent. As the pattern gets taller towards the center, it becomes more opaque. The level of transparency is directly related to the height. By relating the height to transparency, I hoped to achieve a clear reading of the 3D object even when viewed as a flat top view. Because of the direct relationship between height and transparency, the height differences can still be read in plan, as seen in the shaded view below. I chose similar, but not identical colors in order to make the image read clearly without distracting from the varying levels of transparency and height.
