The Fundamentals of Printed Textile Design

Alex Russell

The Fundamentals of Printed Textile Design provides students with an introduction to the creative skills, techniques and processes required by textile designers in order to produce a professional, creative and commercially aware portfolio.

Aimed at textiles and fashion undergraduates, this book outlines the process of creating designs, looking at the vital role played by drawing, color, style and content. It analyzes how to contextualize and visually communicate effectively, whether through traditional design staples or via a more innovative approach.

The book also examines the technical and ethical considerations of which designers in the industry must be aware.
