Book Reviews of Creative Fashion Design with Illustrator

Book Review: Great for beginners
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is Great for novice Illustrator users. It has great step by step tutorials that really walk the reader through the basics of Illustrator. The tutorials are clear and informative. The book is well organized. As a proficient Illustrator user, I found a couple of tricks useful, but overall I would not recommend for anyone already experienced with Illustrator or for graphic artists not in the apparel field. Also the book is geared toward readers in the UK and therefore instructs the reader to set settings to A4 paper and millimeters. This may be confusing for some readers, and using A4 paper settings will probably not work with most US printers.
I will be teaching a CAD for apparel class this fall, and plan to use this book. It can be difficult to find CAD books that are geared towards fashion design, and many of the great books out there are starting to become out of date. This book is relevant and current (Illustrator CS3).

Summary of Creative Fashion Design with Illustrator

In today?s fashion world, companies want creative people who can meet the challenge of using computers to deliver original ideas on a tight schedule. This guide is one of the first to show both students and professionals how to take full advantage of the Adobe Illustrator vector-based design package—the most established application in the industry. It starts with the basics, showing how to create flat drawings of simple items such as vests, skirts, and shirts, and gradually moves on to more advanced skills that a studio designer has to know, from producing mood boards to building a library of trims to visualizing design ideas.
