ARTS 3600 Surface Design Workshop

Students create original designs for the purpose of printing on fabric, plastics and paper goods. Patterning, layout, color “forecasting” and mixing, industry practices, and presentation are covered. Designs are both developed through computer painting and hand-drawn to be translated to digital formats. The proper use of computer software will be demonstrated. To become familiar with professional skills essential for a career in Surface Design, students will use digital tools to create designs, croquis, patterns, layouts, repeats and coordinates. Contemporary work, as well as student work-in-progress, will be discussed or critiqued, and samples of professional work will be shown. Business practices and field opportunities will be covered.
