Book Reviews of Fashion Computing: Design Techniques And CAD
Book Review: Inspiring and highly informative - excellent for fashion students and the fashion industry!
Summary: 5 Stars
Great book! Even if you are a complete beginner you will find this book an informative and useful resource. It gets you up and running quickly with really simple, step-by-step, illustrated techniques for fashion computing using current software.
In my fashion design studio, we predominatly use CorelDraw, Illustrator and Photoshop, and found this book informative for each of these packages. It covers the basics - how to create flat drawings from vests, skirts, shirts, dresses to pants, and then moves on to producing mood and design boards, visualizing your design ideas using Photoshop. The section on creating a digital portfolio is also vital in todays digital world. Plus it covers womenswear, menswear and childrenswear.
It is well illustrated with great examples of flats, illustrations and fashion presentations from illustrators and designers in the fashion industry and from top fashion schools and universities globally.
Summary of Fashion Computing: Design Techniques And CAD
This is the first book to comprehensively explain how to use fashion computing software to produce fashion designs. The book will take you through the following computing techniques: design clothing as flats/working drawings; create specification/technical sheets for samples and production; create fashion illustrations, and fabrics; create fashion presentations - moods/concepts, fabric, colour, design, illustration, forecasting etc; design promotional material for marketing/branding, business cards and letterheads; and, create designs for print or screen. The chapters have been set out in a logical learning sequence to guide you through the computerised fashion design and presentation techniques, together with self-explanatory worked examples. An instructor's manual with additional exercises and case studies can be downloaded free from the Internet. Computer generated images from designers and illustrators around the world have been included to inspire and demonstrate fashion computing techniques.
