Development
Having previously discussed the theory underlying development, this section shows an arbitrary selection of linear and chequerboard examples and formats, shown in their finished state. The selection of colour was carefully chosen to enhance the intensity of the respective colouration, namely with complementary colours, in this instance, blue and orange.
Linear Strip
No.1
A 'straightforward' development, with pale blue and orange gaining in intensity towards the centre, in conjunction with the increasing degree of angularity of outline, from which the process then unwinds.
No.2
8 x 6.
This example shows exactly the same development as above, albeit with a different colouration. Here, the colours are increasingly desaturated from the centre, whereupon at the borders an even grey is reached. Consequently, this thus 'reinforces' the development process, as both colors elvolve, in conjunction with a increasing angularity of outline from a neutral beginning, gaining in intensity until fully saturated blue and orange are reached.

No.3
Here the development gains in angularity of outline and colour intensity from outer to inner. Those familiar with Escher's Development I will see similarities here, in that this is the same type of composition, albeit of different motifs, format and in colouration (with Escher's print being of lizards, 10x10 and black, grey and white).
No.4
8 x 8.
Here the development gains in angularity of outline and colour intensity from inner to outer. As can be seen, this is the reverse process of No.3.
