Exploring Digital Techniques for Fashion Illustration

Abstract

Fashion illustration has the potential to attract the attention of its viewers by way of communicating fashion design ideas through various presentable media. But in situations where fashion designers have challenges in fashion illustration, creativity tends to become an imitation of other’s works. The fashion industry in its quest to seek for new opportunities and better ways of production is now employing the assistance of new technologies in the production system. It is for these reasons that this research sought to develop digital techniques to solve fashion illustration problems in the fashion industry in Ghana and beyond. The study employed descriptive and experimental methods of research. The study focused on the development of digital techniques for colour combination, fabric selection and fabric manipulation using CorelDraw software. The researchers recommend more research into new technical ways of solving problems relating to the use of the CorelDraw software in the fashion industry.
