Product Description
In today’s fashion world, companies want creative people who can meet the challenge of using computers to deliver original ideas on a tight schedule. This guide is one of the first to show both students and professionals how to take full advantage of the Adobe Illustrator vector-based design package—the most established application in the industry. It starts with the basics, showing how to create flat drawings of simple items such as vests, skirts, and shirts, and gradually moves on to more advanced skills that a studio designer has to know, from producing mood boards to building a library of trims to visualizing design ideas.

I thought this book was very useful, i haven’t had a chance to read the whole book. But on the section I did love which was the trims it was very helpful to have pictures and step by step directions

Great book! One of the better offerings for this industry.
Would be better if he used clipping masks for his ribbing technique…

I have been searching for a book that teaches Illustrator from this perspective. It is a great teaching tool that teaches Illustrator for the specific use I needed. Great for anyone in the fashion industry needing to learn Illustrator. I have already recommended it to a few friends who have been as thrilled with it as I was!

i love this book. it has taught me a lot, and it is focused specifically at using illustrator to create fashion flat drawings. the tutorials are clear and simple, and once i did a few i was comfortable enough to continue on my own. the book is full of illustrations and clear instructions. i have lent this book out to friends, and i recommended it to my instructors in college and they purchased it as well.
bottom line: if you need to learn to use illustrator for fashion flats this is the only book you need to get started.

This book is very nicely made. Easy to read…but the content is aimed for beginners only – and fashioners only. It deals with geometrical shirts, pants, skirts etc… no complex design. It’s not a general book on Illustrator. It wont fit for all design learning purpose.
- the pros:
It’s Okay for fashion design students (beginners).
It teaches the basics in a very clear way. If thick books and too much details and explanations frighten you, then this book will fit you. It’s a step-by-step easy learning book.
- the cons:
Definitively not for graphic designers who work with higher drawing skills.
If you already have read other learning books on illustrator (or you already have learned some basics), you wont learn much from this one.
