Fun Technology

Other than the typical fashion design tools like: imagination, creativity, pens, pencils, paper, fabrics, and much more; there is another useful product that is being used. This product is computer aided design (CAD). CAD came about in the 60’s and has progressively gotten more and more advanced and easier to use. This is a computer software program that helps fashion designers, and other types of designers, tremendously. With this program items like: computers, clothing, furniture, jewelry, and much more can be designed. A fashion designer can create patterns for garments, which is easier than making them by hand; unless you drape fabric over a dress form but that is a totally different concept. A designer can also create a 3D dress form or even a 3D body to help design clothing. You can make any type of garment you want to, in any color or shape you want. I have never used CAD but I think it would be a lot of fun and will probably become one of my best friends in the future.

These are images of CAD as it realtes to fashion design.
