As Clothing Technology students we probably often ask ourselves whether certain things and situations are right or wrong - whether we consider them appealing or disturbing. After all soon it will be our job to determine trends and create them. Our class' latest lesson about design principles gave me the realization that clothing design is not only about what makes certain garments interesting and eye catching but also about why or how it is so. The "why or how" is important because it enables us to identify great design over bad ones and therefore ultimately guide us in making appealing designs by showing us how to properly manipulate elements of visual design for our preferred effect.
This reminds me of one of the blogger featured at the ACLE hosted by CT students. He said that he was initially hesitant to be a fashion blogger because being so he needed to have the proper knowledge about the fashion industry, garment production and design. I agree with him. Fortunately for us we are being educated on the very things that he was not formally taught and I think we should take this lessons for granted instead we should live by it.
