In this course we will focus on the practical and necessary tools used in the design process to ensure clear and effective communication for product development and manufacturing. Working from existing garments, students will be introduced to creating technical packages that contain detailed flat sketches, instructions, garment measurements, construction details, technical notes, and more, while learning how to communicate design ideas clearly and effectively through digital means. Students will also be introduced to the product development process and lifecycle. Students complete the course with examples of technical packages and an understanding of their role in streamlining the manufacturing process.
