Work with color and design to create original prints, weaves
and knits on the computer. Develop technical drawings of your
designs with a basic introduction to Adobe Illustrator. Use
draping software to see what your new fabrics will look like
on a digital image of a garment on the body.
Once you have designed a collection of textiles and applied
them to your designs presentation is addressed with
storyboards and cataloging. Class projects are designed to be
printed, recorded to a CD and/or posted on a website. |
