Digital Manipulation And Pattern Design

What will you study?
You will be introduced to a range of design
print processes and computer aided design
(CAD) skills. From this you will develop a
moodboard based on a selected trend and
also a range of visual outcomes through
mediums including print, drawing, collage
and digital photography. You will be given a
choice of focussing on either the interiors or
fashion industry, developing your ideas into
a simple repeat pattern or placement print.
This design will then be used to create either
a sample scarf design or wallpaper drop and
cushion. Your tutors will work with you to give
you an understanding of fabric, colour and
repeat.

The culmination of the course will be an
exhibition of your final design outcome and
CAD work.

interiors and lifestyle industries. This will

relation to colour) and generating your own
design by using the landscape of Birmingham
city as inspiration. You will work with staff
to develop a repeating pattern or placement
digital print, which you will then bring to
life as either a scarf design on fabric or
wallpaper drop and cushion.
