I think first you want to do the analysis on your application and then see where patterns will work for you. Here is a link for the blueprints but you really need to know what you want to do first.

I agree. Trying to fit every soultion into a certain pattern is a very bad idea.

Look at what your requirements are and pick a solution that is advantagious.

Patterns are good for describing what type of solution you have selected. It is a bad idea trying to fit a square pattern into a round solution.

At the end of application designing, identify for potential problems from the list of design patterns, if you find a problem then you apply that pattern.

Don't start with design patterns because it says design or the design patterns is the buzz word.
