Fashion Printsis a concise step-by-step guide to designing symmetrical and repeat patterns for fashion design.

The book contains 12 chapters, each containing a wide range of basic elements needed to create a pattern. It is demonstrated how to make various grids and how to apply the design elements to come to a repeating pattern. The visual approach makes these procedures very easy to understand and helps the reader develop his/her own creative ideas.

Furthermore, each chapter gives a number of examples how to apply colour to the patterns. Last but not least, step-by-step drawings are included showing how to render the result on a fashion figure.

More than 1000 of the design elements used in the book are provided as vector EPS files on the accompanying CD-ROM, for near limitless variations in creating designs according to your own taste and style.

Fashion Printsis a must-have for everybody interested in textile and fashion design.
