Creative Fashion Design with Illustrator

Creative Fashion Design with Illustrator

Tutor to be confirmed

In today's world of fashion, companies are looking for creative people who can communicate their designs quickly and neatly. The challenge faced by designers using computers is to create, produce, share and deliver ideas on a tight schedule whilst retaining their creativity. The course focuses on the vector based design package 'Adobe Illustrator' and is aimed at people with a fashion design background or working in the fashion industry. Little or no computer experience is required. The course will evolve from beginner to advanced level over its duration. Students will learn how to: make flat drawings of garments in a fast and precise way, build a library of trims and design details and visualise and render their design ideas. Once the course is completed, students will have produced, in printed and digital format, all the common items used by design studios to communicate ideas, such as mood and design concept boards, collection maps, sketches and technical design sheets.
