Designing is an expression in mind. It is the way out of a creative mind. Designing is a powerful tool of an ordinary person to stand out in an extraordinary way. What is a design? It is a different way of imagination. A different approach towards the things around us. Ability to create which doesn’t exist. The person who is good at imagination, who has a different view, who is creative can be a good designer. In simple words any one with keen interest in art can do designing. But this would be a nontechnical term.
Though designing is referred to as an art, it is considered as a science too. In an aesthetic way we can create awesome designs. But when we do the same in a technical or scientific way, the design is to be said perfect. Now designs fall under many types. Interior design, architecture, jewelry, furniture, graphic and many more. Here we can discuss fashion designing. Lots of people with a basic knowledge of fashion or having a fashion background create some new designs according to their imagination. Which is fine in all manner. They design by keeping a few things in their mind. Things which they find essential in their designing. Many times they do designing as per their requirements. For example, they draw a cowl neck because they want the designed outfit to have such necklines with cowls. But they forget to consider the texture and the fall of the fabric. If the fabric is not smooth and doesn’t have that fall the cowls are not going to be formed with a stiff material. So this the technical thing about material which needs to be kept in mind while designing.
Texture is one thing but there are lots of technical terms which are actually helpful if utilized properly. Dart is a term which could ruin the look of a garment if skipped while designing. For that a person needs to have a detailed knowledge of darts and dart manipulation to create some amazing silhouettes. Grain line is another factor which is used very brilliantly by a person with good technical knowledge of designing. If a person knows about the pros and cons of stitching or construction, no one can beat such expertise in finishing and perfection of a garment.
To gain such a technical knowledge of designing and to be a scientifically perfect person in designing, one needs to learn designing in a technical way. Nowadays there are many institutes providing technical courses. Some of the courses are designed in such a way so anyone can learn fashion and designing for a short to long period. We have to choose a course according to the time availability and the eligibility. With a special touch of technically sound imagination, one can create scientifically beautiful designs. So whenever we think to design something if we think in both esthetic and technical ways, the outcome is to be unchallenged.
