A step-by-step guide to two essential tools for textile and fashion designers. Designer and educator Robert Hume guides you from novice to expert through 20 carefully crafted projects. You'll start by mastering layers and custom brushes, learning about stripes and weaves, scanning and manipulation before moving on to repeats, colorways, and simple geometry. Next, transformations, filters and effects become tools for your personal creativity and you'll explore varied approaches to drawing garments. Finally, you'll learn about key layout and presentation techniques in both programs. There's also advice on sharing, communication and output, and help with diagnosing and correcting common problems. Files for many of the projects are available from: www.bloomsburyonlineresources.com/fashion-and-textile-design-with-photoshop-and-illustrator-2e Seven case studies showcase the work and creative thinking of innovative professional designers. These designers offer insight and inspiration to help you develop your own successful and inventive designs. This new edition incorporates updates to Photoshop and Illustrator CC and a new extended introduction outlines the layout of each program and good practice in working with their tools and windows. There are also two new projects, the first will help you draw a pair of jeans using closed path ways, incorporating distressing and treatments such as stone-washing and whiskering. The second new project shows how to create a paisley design using Illustrator brushes to add complexity in design work.

20 step-by-step projects and 7 industry case studies offer guidance, insight and inspiration to help designers develop their own successful and inventive work.

Reviews
This is an excellent book. It will be an essential text for [my course module] ... It's well written, illustrated and easy to follow. * Timothy Bones, West Kent College, UK *
This book is a game changer in that it is one of the few offerings which focus on what students want to know. Every page is easy to follow with very clear diagrams and illustrations and an excellent breakdown of each task. I wish I'd had this book when I was learning how to use the software! -- Naomi Austin, Senior Lecturer in Fashion Design and Promotion, The University of Sunderland, UK
