Course Objective

1. How they can make arrangements for different textile branches on the computer in the processes (textile report design, separation of the hues, variant) before printing.
2. How they can convert the digital visuals to a product in accordance with the textile printing techniques (silk, rotation, digital) and teaching students the relation between the production and design.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to make designs for the different textile groups by using the software Adobe Photoshop on the computer.
2   To understand the relation between the design and production processes.
3   To make report designs on the computer considering the mass production machines and the specialties of templates being used on them.
4   To be able to separate of the single hue of the colours files on the computer.
5   To be able to analyze the textile designs (how many colours will be used, its report, variants, choosing the templates) and to realize what kind of printing silk, scraper, fabric etc. are the most suitable for the printing.
6   To be able to set up variants considering the technical specifications (rotation, filmdruck, digital) of the printing machines.

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

1. Lessons
The teaching assistant introduces the software Adobe Photoshop and practically teaches the aesthetical and technical phases (report, separation of the single hues, variants) of the textile design by using the visual and written sources.

2. Applications
Students make textile designs for mass production on a specific theme of a project considering the physical conditions of the printed items and the methods of printing style and a chosen design s pre-printing phases are practiced on the computer in the workroom.
