Textile Design and Concept
Textile:
Tex means, “ Fiber “
Tile means, “ To do something “
It refers from semi finished to finished product. It is defined as a product by any fiber.
Term is also applied to the component fiber such as cotton, wool, jute, rayon and linen. “
It means to weave “.

Textile Design:
Decorate the surface with different materials, colors and ideas are
known as “textile designing”.

Method of Textile Designing:

There are many different methods of textile
designing. Some of them are given follows.
• Roaming
• Spinning
• Weaving
• Dying
• Processing
• Furnishing
• Clothing

Emphasis of Designing:
Mostly design relates with mode of the function. Textile always
indicates cultural values difference between textile and textiles.

Textiles of Pakistan:
There are two main parts of textiles in Pakistan.
• Traditional
• Provisional
There is no one definition of term designing. It has some different meanings for
different people. It may be an expression of mode or feeling.

Areas of Design:
There are four major areas of design.
• Textile design
 • Commercial design or Graphic design or Communicational design.
• Product design or Industrial design
• Ceramics design. (Blue pottery Multan)
The main concepts to decorate the surface while printing or other techniques towards
other fabrics are known as textile design. This may be home furnishing, draping or
apparen.
In order of decreasing the design of some printed fabrics you might see that it has lot of
colors with flowers arranged in a good manner.

Success of Good Design:

Success of good design depend upon,
• Better handling
• Such organized the use of elements of these design.
This can be uneven or regular.
This can be abstract.
It can be good arrangement of flowers fruits.
The use of element in creating a design or a part of an artistic quality of a good design.

Textile Design as Product:

We can’t deny a design without product.
Textile is defined as a product of any fabric.
Term is also applied to the component fiber. i.e. Silk , Wool , Cotton , Rayon , Linen ,
Polyester etc.
Beautiful fabrics have been made in many hands since antiquity. Some equipments and
methods have altered, but basic process of spinning and weaving has not change.

Design as Two things: (Product and Process)

As a product it is the end result of clothing, furnishing
and finishing. Tapestry as a process it is a planning to achieve the goal. Carrying out and
according to the designer as a product and process it includes everything, which is
intentionally created either by nature.
Clothing is the end product of process.

Describing design on Printed Fabric:

To describe design on some
fabric, we need to visualize the design on some surface of cloth. It should have a lot f
colors. It can be imaginary.
Kinds of Design: (Visual Study of Design)

Abstract:
Abstract means not realistic. It is the name of any painting or deign similar
to modern abstract painting inspired by some other work or artist or natural views. It can
be uneven, unrealistic or imaginary.

Bandhana:
It is adopted from bandhana (Hand-Kerchief).
Batik:
It is basically a dying and printing method. Melted wax is applied to cloth before
being dipped in dye. Wherever the wax has seeped through the fabric, the dye will not
penetrate.
Other method of applying the wax on the fabric includes pouring the liquid wax, printing
the wax on with a brush.

Calico:
It is block printing. In this method small patterns are made all over the fabric
like old-fashioned look of civil war pattern.

Conversational Pattern:
This kind of design depicts real creature or object.
We cannot say that picture of whole world is conversational. But it may show the whole
scene and landscape or cityscape, but just as a layout of a fabric design.
Conversation may be novelty prints, for their easy identifiable images like animal prints
of Pandas. Conversational patterns are as old any family in mechanical printing.

Atching:
So many time atching prints repeated on a large scale and are made into a
shirt or dress. Atching is a technique of fine arts in which we carve a design on any other
thing and print on paper.
We often see their actual motives less clearly, then in their original colors. Pupil, animal,
amusing, designs can be novelty prints.

Floral Designing:
It includes large and small designs. It includes all the
gathering of flowers in the garden.
Foulard Design:
Small geometrical design or figure. Mostly seen in men’s ties.
It is made with twill weave. It is usually printed with small figures on dark and light
background.

Geometrical Design:
Designs based on such geometrical books.
Paisley:
It is adopted from the pattern of old shawls made in paisley.
Polka Dot:
Round medium size dots generally uniform in sizing and spacing.
Coin Dot:
Provisional design motives based on country life from various
geometrical areas.
These are large dots.
Toil Design: (Scenic Design)
Scenery design adopted from 18th century decorative fabrics.
Warp Design:
Warp design means printed on warp only. Weaving and irregular
design outline.

Kinds of Printing:
There are two kinds of Printing.
Auto screen printing (With the help of machine)
Manual Screen Printing (Hand made)
Divisions:
Auto screen-printing has two divisions.
• Rotary screen printing
• Roller screen printing
Manual screen-printing has four divisions.
• Hand screen printing
• Block printing
• Batik dyeing
• Tye and dye
Screen Printing:
It is the most versatile method for mass production and high quality
printing. It is used for paper, leather, wallpapers, glass, cloth, stickers and on cars.
Elements of Design:
The elements of visual design have been defined
as the basic ingredients components or media from which a visual design is made.
Line:
Line is the most important fundamental of element of design. It is an elongated
mark. It connects two points and gives some direction to our vision. Line leads our eyes
in the direction. It divides the area through which it passes, thus provided the breaking
point in the space.
Aspects:
Every line has “10” aspects.
Path:
Straight
Restrained curve
Full curve
Bent
Jagged
Wavy
Scalloped
Crimped
Looped
Thickness:
Thick
Thin
Uneven
Even
Continuity:
Continuous
Un broken
Broken
Edge / Sharpness:
Sharp
Fuzzy
Edge / Contour:
Smooth
Shaped
Consistency:
Solid, Closed, Smooth
Porous
Length:
Long
Short
Direction:
Vertical
Horizontal
Diagonal

Space:
It is the basic area of extent, either flat or having a volume, also fundamental
visual design. Enclosed space is usually called shape and unenclosed space is simply a
space. But they are inseparable and have a powerful relationship. E.g. draw a line around
some space, we have a shape.
Enclosed spaces or shapes usually represents object to which we associate meaning such
as flower, glass, ball, vase etc.
Shapes and spaces occur in several ways.
Small area appears as a shape and large as apace
Filled area appears as a shape.
Plane area appears as a space.
Shape and space can create an illusion of depth of background and foreground. These
shapes are known as figure enclosed.
Unfilled space is “–ive” space.
Filled space is “+ive” space.

Shape:
Flat decorated design such as pattern motive, aplic or flat garment, such as
color and pocket are shape.
Form:
Form is defined as three-dimensional area enclosed by a surface.
If the form is hallowing, we perceive the interior volume form. All these are shape and
form.

Geometrical Shapes:
Flat decorated design such as pattern and
motives. (EP) applies, flat garments as parts such as color (EP) pocket are shape form is
define as three dimensional area includes by surface I the form is hallow we perceive the
interial volume form. All these are shape forms.
Proportion and Ratio:
Every shape has a certain proportion. Every element
has its own character. Proportion and the ratio is the comparative relationship of
distance, sizes, shapes, amounts, degree and parts. Proportion is very much related with
garments. It can be applied to one dimensional line. Two-dimensional shapes and area or
three-dimensional forms and their contents. Special characteristic have little meanings to
accept them.
Mathematical formula can guide proportion, seems to approach a (3:5) or (5:8).
As mostly in live drawing we consider the head as a part of proportion. Proportion can
apply in all elements, (Shape, Forms, Size).

 Perspective
 Focal Point view
 Front view = Front elevation.

It can apply 2,1 (D) lines 2(D) shapes and area or 3D and de contents.
Proportion is mostly related with garments and most in lifeline we consider the head high
as a part of proportion for a color texture and pattern.
Comparative relationship of proportion in dresses can work on these four levels.
 With in Parts:
As in comparing length and width with in parts.
 Among Parts:
As in comparing the area of one rectangle to that of an adjoining one, or
boded, area or sleeve area, among one color or these amounts.
 Parts of Whole:
As in comparing the area of whole picture occupied by the sky or
the amount of whole dress occupied by the skirt.
 Whole to Environment:
As in comparing the size and shape of whole house to its
hill sides or sides of surrounding trees or relating the size and shape of an outfit to the
shape and size of a wearer.

Texture:
Texture means to feel something, by means of (Visual) or by (touching).
Texture requires two main things.
1- It is very medium. The tangible substance means (which can be touched) from which
the cloth is made. It appeals not to just one but three or senses. Textile occupies a special
role as a design element because it is very stuff from which a garment is made, because it
is the only element having three of our senses.
1- Touch
2- Sight
3- Sound
Texture has to which the perception of touch. It is the element that appeals of senses of
feelings of things. Whether they are rough or smooth. Bumpy or slippery. It is that
difference we feel between satin and valvet, between lelon and silk. Between rough less
and smoothness. Between marble and bronze. Texture is found in all visual arts, in many
cases, differences in texture are due primarily to difference in medium or medias. We
know the difference feels o brick and concrite, in painting terms the med texture is used
for presentation, skin, cloth, jewels, furniture etc. Most technical studies of tenfiles take a
scientific approach to fabric composition and characteristics however this study emphasis
esthetic and performance. Quality of texture and relationship between garment texture
and fabric structure.
According to the surface qualities of fabric structure depends on its fiber contents yarn
structure fabric structure and finishes.

Color:
Color is a basic and very important aspect of textile design. Color is most
important element o design (all areas of design) visual designs and arts. It is the color to
which we initially respous, first when we see a design after that we became aware of
layout. Second is composition and third is pattern.

Existence of color:
Through which light passes from a drop rain named by
(V I B G O R).
V = Violet
I = Indigo
B = Blue
G = Green
O = Orange
R = Red
Color has external phenomena in the range of visible light, wavelength coming from a
light source or reflecting surface. We responded physically and physiologically. Some
times consciously and often unconsciously. It is the first art element even before style
lines.
Color helps us to distinguish and identify of the objects. It can change apparent shape and
size, and it provides the appeal on which much selling depends. All the color has three
aspects.
1- Hue
2- Value
3- Intensity

 Hue:
is the quality by which we distinguish one color from other color. Other three
primary uses are “Red, Blue and Yellow”.
Hue is the family of color. Hue is the first quality of color to impress the viewer.
 Value:
Color differs in value as well as in hue value is the lightness or darkness of
the hue. A pure hue with white added is called tint and describe as high value. A pure hue
with black added is called shade and describe as low value.
 Intensity:
Intensity is the brightness or darkness of hue. Color differs also in
intensity or brightness. Bright color has high and dull color have low intensity.
