This document provides information on designing handloom textile products. It discusses key elements of design like lines, forms, colors, and textures. It also outlines the process of design which includes selecting a theme, researching trends, initial and final sketching, applying design principles such as balance and unity, and rendering the product. The goal is to translate paper designs into finished textile products using techniques like repeats and patterning suited for the production method.

Happy to welcome you For this creative task of designing
What is a design ? • A plan or drawing produced to show the appearance and working of something before it is made. it is the plan intended for a purpose………our intend here is to design handloom textile products.
Elements of design • Lines • forms and shapes • colours • textures
lines • Gives direction, communication, the imaginary limits or outline of a product and form the shapes • Lines are 4 types, • 1. vertical lines • 2. horizontal lines • 3. diagonal lines • 4. curved lines
Design concepts
Forms and shapes • The outward form of something as produced by their outlines are perceived as its shape. • it may be natural forms • abstract forms • geometrical forms • conventional forms
Design concepts
colours • An objects property of producing different sensations in brain through the eyes of observers as a result of the way it reflects light. • Colour has its ……hue, value and tones.
Design concepts
textures • The feel , appearance , consistency, and surface nature of the designed products is termed as texture. • It is by using different fibres, counts, quality, density, and interlacements.
Design concepts
For designing you require • A theme • a storyboard • design concept • trend research • initial sketching • final sketches • repeats and patterning • product rendering
Theme • A subject on which a person speaks, writes, or thinks and • is expressed as an idea that is often repeated in a work of art.
Design concepts
Story board • It is the collection of pictures , images, photos, events, objects, words and phrases related with theme selected.
Design concepts • Is a word or phrase which symbolizes the inspired phenomenon, sense impression, empirical relationship and helps to communicate the design.
Trend research • It is the method of deciding consumer for the product by forecasting their colour preferences, textures, technology, etc: with reference to different occasions and lifestyles.
Initial sketching • Taking inspiration from design concepts and by utilising consumer preferences a design is drafted in paper to express the ideas hitherto in mind of designer.
Final sketching • By considering the loom and technology to be adopted for the production and principles of designs the draft design is modified to suit our requirement.
Principles of designs • Principles are concepts used to arrange the structural elements of design. when it is applied, it effects the expressive content or the message of the work. • It gives dynamism, life, and, aesthetics to designs.
Principles of designs • There are six principles generally followed by successful designers. • 1.balance • 2.proportion • 3.rhythm • 4.emphasis • 5.unity • 6.contrast.
Variety through contrasting
balance • Balance is the concept of visual equilibrium and relates to our physical sense of balance. • Balancing are achieved in two ways: • 1. symmetrically- it is called as formal balancing by arranging elements equally around a central point or fulcrum. • 2. asymmetrically- it is also called as informal balance.it involves placement of objects in a way that will allow objects of varying visual weight to balance one another around a fulcrum point.
balancing
proportion • This refers to the relative size and scale of the various elements in a design. • The issue is the relationship between objects or parts of a whole. • Use appropriate scale in surface design.
proportion
rhythm • Rhythm can be described as timely movement through space, an easy connected path along with the eye follows a regular arrangement of motifs. • The presence of rhythm creates predictability and order in a composition. • Repetation, alternation, gradation is employed to motifs to achieve rhythm.
Rhythmic designs
emphasis • Emphasis refers as point of focus or interruption. • It marks the locations in a composition which most strongly draw the viewers attention. • Repetition, contrasting in colour or texture or shape, placement of motifs in strategic positions etc: brings emphasis.
emphasis
emphasis
unity • Unity is the underlying principle that summarizes all of the principles and elements of design. • It refers to coherence of the whole or harmony of all the parts. • Patterning, consistency in forms and colour, use of variety in elements etc: can achieve unity.
Good design
Repeats and patterning • The paper design is translated into the language of loom , and other production systems , technologies to adopt for converting into actual products by employing unit repeating techniques and movements in rhythm of machineries, tools and equipments .
Product rendering • This is the actual production process. the dream of designer becomes reality through dyeing, winding, warping, weaving, and finishing operations.
