The Book

With the growing trend of licensing apparel, accessories, and home fashions under a single logo, today’s students must expand their portfolios to include concepts with broader applications. Marker Rendering for Fashion, Accessories, and Home Fashions provides detailed instructions for marker rendering methods relevant to a variety of products. Allowing designers to express their ideas immediately, the marker is an essential tool for the design professional. The author’s step-by-step instructions provide a sound introduction to the skills that students need, and teaches methods of overlapping media applications for an assortment of colors, patterns, and materials. The lessons are taught as a progression of skills, building slowly from basic to complex rendering methods used in the design industry today.
