Charlotte A. Thomson: Colourful book with lots of examples of work by textile designers

EJD: 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.

Holly: Even though the book is based off of older adobe versions, it is still easy to follow directions and move.

V. Haffenden: This is a useful reference book for textile design students or anyone interested in pursuing textile design using digital methods. There are interesting and informative chapters on textile and fashion designers who have developed digital methods and explanations about printing methods. I would say it is aimed squarely at printed textiles as it concentrates on Photoshop and Illustrator software, and doesn' t cover any of the specialist software for constructed (knitted or woven) textile design. However, the elements of repeat and design layering/assembly could be helpful for knitted textile design development, possibly less for woven textiles although the tutorial on stripe and tartan design might be applicable.
The book features tutorials for Photoshop and Illustrator, but these do assume a considerable familiarity with the programmes and are not in very great detail. That is not to say they aren't useful, but do require existing knowledge and understanding. All the design tutorials are for surface pattern, and do not include textural surfaces or construction of the underlying fabric.
I have given this a high star rating because it is really good to see a book that discusses...

Shellz: Great book! It is really helping out in my class and has made it easier to follow along in class. I stared 4 instead of 5 because some sections could be written with more detail or a what if scenario, as sometimes things happen when you're learning.

drc536: Nice reference book if you are interested in digital textile. Contains tutorials about pattern design, repeats and special textile effects. Also has designer profiles with works samples. Even though tutorials were written for Illustrator and Photoshop software (I have CorelDraw), I was able to get some great info about creating patterns.

Cate: got this book for my daughter who is a RISD-educated designer who has become interested in fabric design because of my own quilting work. She looked at all the options on fabric design and felt this one was by far the best in terms of a "textbook." It goes into serious detail on how to use software to design digital images (images not constrained by the traditional analog printing used in fabrics and denoted by all those color circles on the selvedge) and it's priced like a textbook. It's for the technologically sophisticated, but she thought it was excellent.

hw: I am a Surface design student and I struggle with digital textile designing. This book is the best book on this subject. Includes step by step tutorials which are very easy to follow. Gives a brief description of the current textile designers and the techniques they use to make prints. So much better stuff than what I have learned during the two years of my course in uni. Everything I wanted to learn is inside this book. So happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it to a friend. Go buy it seriously.
