FASHN332 Workshp: Going Digital

This course is collaboration between the textile and fashion programs and is specifically intended for students from both majors wishing to develop digital design skills. Using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, students learn to translate drawings and ideas into digital renderings for design, presentation and production purposes. The emphasis of this course is the creative use of software to produce industry and portfolio quality textile designs, basic garment renderings and professional quality presentations. Students learn to use drawing software to digitize and manipulate images, create and develop an original line of industry quality textile designs, and to scale and create repeats and colorways for production purposes. Additionally, the course introduces students to computer rendering of basic flat technical garment silhouettes and construction detailing for presentation boards and spec sheets. This course fulfills Textile Workshop or Intermediate Studio.
