Printed Textile Design: The Profession, the Evolution, the Designwalks us through the different aspects of textile design as a process and a profession. The authors, both design school teachers, describe the steps involved in projects within the fashion, home and garden sectors of textile design, and also examine the specific characteristics of these three sectors. They pay special attention to current tendencies and offer an excellent insight into interpreting trends, which is essential for textile designers. The projects shown, developed by students approaching the professional level, provide the reader with outstanding explanatory case studies. This teaching resource is a key aid for both students and young professionals. It also includes a highly useful list of professional contacts.
