What to Focus On

  • Design has both beauty and utility.
  • Design has two aspects: structural and applied.
  • Structural design is based on form, cut, yarn, weave, and colour placement.
  • Colour is the reflection of light.
  • VIBGYOR is the spectrum of seven colours seen in sunlight.
  • Colour has three aspects: hue, value, and intensity or chroma.
  • Fibre-stage dyeing is rare and expensive.
  • Yarn-stage dyeing gives stripes, checks, plaids, chambrays, brocade, Jacquard, and Ikat.
  • Fabric-stage dyeing is the most common method.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Design means decoration only, so a beautiful object is always a good design.

Structural design means decoration on fabric, while applied design means the basic cut of a garment.

Colour is only the name of a hue, so value and intensity are not important.

Memory Tips
