Reader Reviews
I am a textile/surface design student and find this book an indispensible tool to understanding the way new technologies are changing the face of textile design. This seems to be an uncomfortable time of transition between the old and new ways, as teachers hold on to the way they learned textile design, but in the real world the fashion industry is embracing technology at an incredible speed. This book is well worth the $60 as it is crammed with information that will help you use Photoshop effectively as both a creative and practical tool. I found the little vignettes written by people in industry to be refreshing and informative. That said, I was disappointed by the graphics. With a couple of exceptions, most of the designs used as examples are boring and unimaginative. I compare this to older, traditional books on textile design that feature beautiful prints. The enclosed CD has many useful goodies. The book even includes advice on the career marketplace and gives portfolio and resume tips. I hope the authors come up with a similar book but for Adobe Illustrator. A couple of companies I know of use Illustrator exclusively for their designs.
