Textile Design Textile Designing involves producing patterns for cloth used in clothing, household textiles and decorative textile. Textile Design is a Process from the row material in to finished product
Design Design is the application of aesthetics by weaving, knitting, dyeing or printing to textile. It is the process or creating a structures for embellishments of fabrics. Weaving, knitting, dyeing and printing acts as a medium for the designer to express their emotion or state of mind through various designs and motifs.
Types of design Structural design Decorative design Naturalistic conventional Geometrical abstract
Structural design:
Structural design is a plain textile with no outer decoration on it.
Requirements of Structural Design 1.It should be suited to the purpose 2.It should be simple and well proportionate 3.It should be suited to the material by which it is made, and to the process that will be followed in making it.
Decorative design
Decorative Design is the surface enrichment of structural design. Any type of colures or materials that have been applied to structural design for the purpose of adding a richer quality to it,constitute its decorative.
Requirements of a good decorative design are 1.Decoration should be used in moderation. 2.The decoration should be placed at structural points and it should strengthen the shape of the object. 3.There should be enough background and space to give simplicity to the design. 4.Surface pattern should cover the surface. 5.Decoration should be suitable for material and purpose served.
Decorative design are of four types.
Naturalistic Conventional
Geometrical Abstract
Naturalistic design
Naturalistic design Naturalistic Design Which Represents the actual colours, Shapes, patterns, forms of the natural object like leaves, flowers, animals etc.
Conventional design which are formed by exaggerating, modifying or altering the naturalstic design. Unusual lines, colours or textures.
Conventional designs
Conventional designs
Geometric designs
Geometric designs Geometric designs are the safest designs for untrained consumer e.g. squares, circles, rectangles, triangles, half circles, elliptical shapes etc.

Geometric designs
Abstract design Abstract design is the modern design which allows the alignments and grouping of parts of the design which have no literial representation as such.
Abstract design
Motifs
Motifs The term motif is defined as the distinctive feature or the dominant idea in an artistic or literary composition of design. motif is a design or a pattern used as a decoration. A motif is a symbol of various specifications which is used to create design on the textile material.
types of motives Conventional geometrical, traditional stylized. naturalistic abstract
Naturalistic A natural form is used and treated in a manner to have a suitable ornamental feature of the texture on which it is to be displayed. They are associated with nature, therefore they have natural significances. Natural motifs look like pictures usually of flowers, fruits, leafs, plants, creepers, birds, insects, animals scenes and other living things
Naturalistic
Abstract In an abstract design, the form of an object is simplified. Some characteristic features being kept abstract, in a natural design, the most important are emphasized to give beauty of nature. An abstract motif is one which does not convey any meaning but still is appealing.
Abstract
Geometrical These are constructed in purely geometric form by interacting the straight, vertical, horizontal, diagonal, curved, wavy, zigzag, twisted, cross line and squar, rectangular,rhombus, diamond, circular, oval, dotted shape although endless variations and combination are ornamented within the area.
Geometrical
Traditional The term traditional is applied to those which have been handed down through generations without losing their original characteristics. The original designs are appropriately adapted from time to time by the process of evolution.
Traditional
Stylized Natural or abstract forms suitably modified to give a style or a new look is called stylized. This is necessary for the nature of fabrics and techniques used. Stylized motifs donot look like pictures of natural objects;usually the lines are simplified and conventionalized, sometime they are distorted.

Fibers are fundamental unit used in manufacturing of textile yarn. It is an individual, fine, hair like substance. Fibers usually are grouped and twisted together into a continuous strand called yarns. The yarn are then used to make various textile materials
Types of Fibers
Vegetable Fiber Vegetable fibers are derived from plant source, so their basic material is cellulose and they possess certain basic properties.
Sources of Cotton
Cotton Clothes
Properties 1.All vegetable fibers have high density 2.They have high water absorbency 3.They are good conductor of heat 4.They have resistance to alkalis 5.They have low resilency.
Animal Fibers Animal fibers are derived from the hair of animal, saliva of silk worm etc. The basic element of this fiber is protein so they possess certain common properties.
Sources of Wool
Woolen garment
Sources of silk
Reeling muga cocoon
Silk thread and fabric
Properties 1. Animal fiber have medium dencity. 2.They are bed conductor of heat 3.They have high resiliency 4.They are susceptible to strong alkalis 5.They are susceptible to high temperature, strong sunshine
Mineral Fibers These are inorganic materials, derived from mineral rock and shaped in to fibers. They are mainly used for industrial purpose.
Use of Mineral Fiber
Properties 1. They have resistance to acid 2.They are highly pliable
Manmade or Synthetic Fibers These fibers are prepared in the laboratory from chemicals.
Manufacture of manmade fiber
Manufacture of Rayon
Manufacture of Nylon
Manufacture of Polyester
Different type of Synthetic fiber
Properties 1.They have high strength and resistance to abrasion 2.They have high resiliency, elasticity and elongation 3.They have low affinity for dyes 4.They have high resistance to moth, mildew and insect
