Knowledge of computer-aided design software and digital design techniques helps in creating, editing, and producing textile designs efficiently and accurately.
Introduction to CAD: This is the starting point for CAD and digital design. It gives an overview of what CAD is, its benefits and different applications.
Computer graphics: It is a fundamental concept of creating digital artwork from scratch. This includes learning about Color theory, graphic design, typography.
Software overview: The CAD software is integral to digital design, and knowing how it works is essential. This includes basic operations like drawing, modeling, rendering, and animation.
Designing with software: This course focuses on the practical aspects of designing with CAD software. It involves breaking down a design into sections and learning how to model it.
Fabric Simulation: Simulation software is used to visualize the drape and shape of fabric designs in a digital environment. This includes learning fabric simulation software like Marvelous Designer.
Print and Pattern Design: Designing prints and patterns is a crucial part of textile design. With print and pattern design software, the creation process is much more straightforward as designs can be previewed before printing.
3D modeling: D modeling is used in many industries, from product design to architecture. Learning how to create 3D models with CAD software is essential in digital textile design.
Rendering: This is the process of creating photorealistic images of designs, which allows for previews to clients or for marketing materials.
Designing for Production: This topic covers in-depth training on the technical aspects of designing for production. It covers tools like fusing and pattern grading.
Collaboration and file sharing: Collaboration is essential in the design workflow process. Learning how to share and collaborate on files with others involved in the project is essential.
Project Management: Finally, project management covers the planning, scheduling, and management of projects from start to finish. This is crucial when working with large teams or many clients simultaneously.
2D CAD: This is a type of CAD where the design is created in two dimensions. It is used for designing simple objects like floor plans and schematics.
3D CAD: This type of CAD creates a three-dimensional object. It is used to design complex objects like machinery, cars, and buildings.
Solid Modeling: It is a type of 3D CAD where the object is created as a solid, in contrast to wireframe or surface modeling.
Wireframe Modeling: It is a type of 3D CAD where the object is created as a series of lines and curves.
Surface Modeling: This type of 3D CAD creates objects as a series of surfaces that are joined together.
Direct Modeling: In this CAD software, the designer manually manipulates the 3D model.
Parametric Modeling: In this type of CAD, a designer uses parameters to define the dimensions and features of an object, allowing for easy modification.
Reverse Engineering: This type of CAD is used to create a digital model of an existing object, e.g., a product or component, using 3D scanning.
Animation: This type of CAD is used to create animated 3D models, often used in movies and video games.
Textile Design: This type of digital design involves creating patterns and designs for textiles, like fabrics and wallpapers, using software like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
