This document provides an overview of textile designing. It discusses designing tools used to create textile patterns including shapes, colors, and design references. It describes the differences between raster (pixel-based) images and vector images. Raster images use a grid of pixels and are resolution dependent, while vector images use geometric primitives like lines and curves and are resolution independent. The document also covers types of design files, the process of developing designs for different fabric structures like stripes and checks, repeating patterns, and reproducing designs. It provides examples of unique saree and wall hanging designs.

5. Image Types
• Pixel (or) Raster images - Russell Kirsch(Inventor)
* Pixel is a contraction of the words Picture & Element
* Raster is a term for all images that fit inside this model
• Vector images - Ivan Sutherland (Inventor)
* First vector drawing program was called Sketchpad

6. Raster Images
Vector images
Raster graphic supports a wide range
of color, good for photography
Vector images are better for graphic
designing for its scalability
It uses dot matrix data structure
[rectangular grids of cells (or) pixels]
These are all equal in size.
It uses X and Y coordinates. It’s a
geometrical primitives such as lines,
points, shapes, or curves
Resolutions are Value dependent
Independent of image resolution
File size is high
File Size is too low
Each pixel individually corresponds to a Vector graphics are composed of
particular hue, saturation, brightness,
paths.
opacity and position that.
Image Dimension changing makes
graphics pixilated (damaged).
Stretching and squeezing will not
damage the Image

12. Fabric Formation
Concept of woven fabric
Woven fabric is formed by interlacing of
two(or)more mutually perpendicular sets of yarns

• Warp ups are indicated like: ■
• Weft ups are indicated like: □
The patterns are constructed as following
steps:
1) Determine the weave, warp colour sequence and weft
colour sequence, and calculate the pattern repeat.
2) Draw the weave, warp and weft colour sequence as per their
weave location, and fill the weave on colour pattern location.
2) Now the Fabric is ready.
