ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR AND GIMP - AN APPROACH TO GARMENT DESIGN

Abstract

Designing clothes has become easier with the use of clothing design softwares. One of the most popular and basic software made for garments design is Addobe Illustrator. It enables designers and small to medium businesses to create clothing designs with easy access to all assets, including images, colors, brushes, and type styles. While Illustrator has all the necessary elements and features that are ideal for creating designer clothing, GIMP provides basic set of tools for image editing. When used in combination with one another, these two programs provide just about all the tools an apparel designer needs to draw fashion design sketches, technical flat sketches, CAD presentations, graphic artworks, design embroideries etc. In this paper we show how to use the instruments of those two softwares in order to draw a woman jacket’s garments components and to fill with texture the jacket created. By utilising Illustrator’s Symbol we created libraries of jacket components (puller zipper, label), then the brushes to design the zipper detail. Finnaly, by a drag and drop we added the zipper, the zipper puller and the label. GIMP gave us access to precise fabric textures which make our output so realistic that you can almost touch the fabric.
