Features: This series of teaching materials was developed by professional course teachers after thorough research and summarizing the actual teaching situation. The content is profound yet accessible, concise and straightforward, incorporating both design conception methods and paths, as well as teachers' inspiration and practical guidance for students' creative thinking. It is comprehensive and inclusive. The materials emphasize the applicability of the textbooks and the process of teaching through interaction with students, thereby providing design students with various design methods, ideas, and beneficial examples for reference and practice. This course primarily explores the conception and construction methods of fashion design, emphasizing the operability of design and the complete concept of the design process. It teaches students how to translate various conceptual ideas into visual forms and convert construction methods into fashion language. The topics covered in the course are divided into several learning stages, including the sources of fashion design conception, the forms of creative thinking and construction methods in fashion design, and the combination of design elements. The sources of fashion design conception mainly discuss how inspiration can be drawn from history, ethnicity, nature, society, technology, art, materials, and clothing craftsmanship to extract usable elements for designing clothing forms, colors, and textures. The forms of creative thinking primarily explain the main forms of design thinking and the basic ideas that should be established before constructing specific forms. The construction methods of clothing explain the specific and independent forms that have been refined, which are the main components of clothing styles. The construction we refer to here is a broad construction, including both basic shaping methods and clothing shaping methods. Basic shaping methods refer to shaping methods widely applicable to various visual arts disciplines. Clothing shaping methods refer to shaping methods that have clothing characteristics and are expressed through clothing materials. The combination of clothing design elements refers to the fact that clothing design is not only about style design but also involves the combination of shaping, color, material, components, decoration, structure, and craftsmanship. Grasping the design of each part is essential for a complete design. Through the explanations of each step above, this book addresses the problems students need to solve in the process of fashion design, providing references for students to master a specific design method and approach.
