About Textile Designing (CAD-Computer Aided Designing):
Textile design is concerned with understanding and creating
one of the most intimate and yet public aspects of the
material world. Working through traditional and contemporary
textile fabrication and decoration processes, the innovation
of textile designers and artists contributes to the
richness and variety of visual cultures and individual
modes of expression.
The objective of the Textile Design is to introduce
a broad range of textile processes and theoretical perspectives
on which to base the practice of textile design. Textile
Design can also be studied alongside other design majors
such as fashion and interior or communication design.
