83233 Visualising Fashion 2

Description

This subject builds on students' proficiencies gained in earlier subjects to develop an understanding of the visual modes of fashion and textile design.

Within the illustration module students are introduced to key contemporary fashion illustrators and explore a diversity of mediums and rendering techniques as a way to generate detailed fashion illustrations. Illustration is a critical communication tool in fashion practice and students are encouraged to refine their skills in order to accurately communicate design ideas and detail. The digital component of the subject enables students to translate hand-rendered fashion artworks into fashion textile applications including seamless textile repeats and placement prints for fashion garments. Students are introduced to working in a 3D design space through the program CLO3D, and how to work between Photoshop and CLO3D.
