Description
Book Synopsis"Printed Textile Design: Profession, Trends and Product Development" walks us through the different aspects of textile design as a process and a profession. The authors describe the steps involved in projects within the fashion, home and garden sectors of textile design, and also examine the specific characteristics of these three sectors. They pay special attention to current tendencies and offer an excellent insight into interpreting trends, which is essential for textile designers. The projects shown, developed by students approaching the professional level, provide the reader with outstanding explanatory case studies. This teaching resource is a key aid for both students and young professionals. It also includes a highly useful list of professional contacts.
Trade Review"Printed Textile Design is a wonderfully illustrated introduction to this field. The subjects that it covers and the case studies that it provides are easy for students to approach, and it features a wide choice of research projects. Another of its highlights is that alongside the artistic and technical content, it provides an overview of the industry and jobs in textiles. This book is a good study companion for textile design students. I will be including it in the reading lists for all my courses!" Professor Susanne Goetz, Textile Design, Fashion Institute of Technology, State University of New York.
