Concept Boards & Garment Designs
Concept boards are used in the fashion world to help describe and showcase the aesthetic of silhouettes and colors in a collection. I use Adobe Illustrator to help construct my design process for my collections.
Garment designs could also be created using Adobe Illustrator. These designs could be structured, then be applied to a garment style, and sized to showcase how big you are wanting the pattern.
