Scope of fashion design.
 Today it is a status symbol to wear garments and accessories designed

Fashion Designers is on the rise. One who has done a course in
Fashion Designing will never be short of work opportunities. One can
join as an assistant to a well-known Fashion Designer. One can also
freelance as an accessory designer for a domestic company or an
export house. Alternately, one can become self-employed by setting up
a designer boutique of one’s own. The prospects increase in this field
with increase in experience.

Experience in fashion designing
 Experience can play an important role in our career as a fashion designer.
 Meridian has well trained us because people with a certain amount of practical training or experience are usually
preferred over those who have no experience. So, it’s necessary that we have received some kind of practical
training in fashion.
 Meridian Academy of Design has made me build a strong foundation in terms of design sense,
 Independent research, creative application and individual artistic expression.
 During the course duration of diploma programmed I had exposure towards practical working in Fashion Design

Then simply add any amount of black
and you have created a shade of the
mixture.

TONE
A Tone is created by adding both White and Black
which is GRAY. Any color that is “grey down” is
