Digital Textile Design, Second Edition covers everything students and practitioners of textile design will need to learn about designing and printing digitally.
Written specifically for textile designers, Digital Textile Design, Second Edition provides the know-how for students and professionals who wish to use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator as design tools. A series of inspirational tutorials, presented in step-by-step format, guide the reader through the process of creating designs that will be suited to both the traditional textile production process and to digital printing onto fabric.
The book examines how designers can access the techniques of digital textile printing, looking at the work of those currently exploring its possibilities, and provides an insight into the technology involved. With a stunning new design, this edition has been updated in line with the latest developments in Adobe Creative Suite and contains new images throughout.
This is hands down the best book I've yet read on textile design. Obviously it's specific to digital textile design, which is my focus, and the knowledge and resources I gained from this book were innumerable. Great read, great resource. Even the activities and little projects are interesting enough to actually do, as opposed to most other books I've read that provide activities and projects.
Nothing wrong with this book but it wasn't what I needed/thought it was hence the 3 stars. If you are looking for a book that is more fashion and printing method related then this is the one for you - it has helpful guides for beginners too.
