Textile Printing
TECHNICAL BULLETIN 6399 Weston Parkway, Cary, North Carolina, 27513 • Telephone (919) 678-2220 ISP 1004 TEXTILE PRINTING This report is sponsored by the Importer Support Program and written to address the technical needs of product sourcers. © 2003 Cotton Incorporated. All rights reserved; America’s Cotton Producers and Importers. INTRODUCTION The desire of adding color and design to textile materials is almost as old as mankind. Early civilizations used color and design to distinguish themselves and to set themselves apart from others. Textile printing is the most important and versatile of the techniques used to add design, color, and specialty to textile fabrics. It can be thought of as the coloring technique that combines art, engineering, and dyeing technology to produce textile product images that had previously only existed in the imagination of the textile designer. Textile printing can realistically be considered localized dyeing. In ancient times, man sought these designs and images mainly for clothing or apparel, but in today’s marketplace, textile printing is important for upholstery, domestics (sheets, towels, draperies), floor coverings, and numerous other uses. The exact origin of textile printing is difficult to determine. However, a number of early civilizations developed various techniques for imparting color and design to textile garments. Batik is a modern art form for developing unique dyed patterns on textile fabrics very similar to textile printing. Batik is characterized by unique patterns and color combinations as well as the appearance of fracture lines due to the cracking of the wax during the dyeing process. Batik is derived from the Japanese term, “Ambatik,” which means “dabbing,” “writing,” or “drawing.” In Egypt, records from 23-79 AD describe a hot wax technique similar to batik. -

Hertfordshire County Council plans to sell 'non-relevant' art A consultation on the proposed sale of artwork worth thousands of pounds owned by a local authority has begun. Hertfordshire County Council has 1,828 works, valued at £26.2m, and wants to get rid of 90% as they are at risk of deterioration. It plans to sell off or gift to museums more than 1,600 pieces that it says have little relevance to the county, and could raise £400,000. The money it raises will be used to conserve the remaining 167 piece which include four Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth sculptures, which alone are insured for £21.85m.

For example, I-10’s twin-span bridge over Lake highways ahead of schedule and under budget not only Pontchartrain was destroyed by the hurricane’s storm expedited but also symbolized a return to normal and a surge. But unlike much of the city’s still-stagnant public- restabilization of daily life. The same could be said for the transit infrastructure, it was repaired so rapidly that the restoration of public transit in Lower Manhattan after the contractors received a $1.1-million bonus.3 A trucker attacks of 9/11, where the near immediate resumption of interviewed by the New York Times called the speedy bus and subway service served as a symbol of resilience. Throughout American history, large-scale public works have served as symbolic unifiers and representations of collective optimism. The mobility of the populace, in particular, has been a core tenet of cultural identity. Thus, the Interstate highways unify the country not only by stringing it together with concrete but also by elevating speed and mobility to the status of national entitlement. Concurrently, we expect our street networks, the freeway’s slower, older brother, to serve us function- ally, formally, and symbolically. In addition to providing access, streets establish a sense of order and hierarchy, orient us within urban networks, and, at the neighborhood scale, operate as spaces for social connection. -
The Blue House: the Intimate Universe of Frida Kahlo
The Blue House: The Intimate Universe of Frida Kahlo “Never in life will I forget your presence. You found me torn apart and you took me back full and complete.” Frida Kahlo By delving into the knowledge of Frida Kahlo's legacy, one discovers the intense relationship that exists between Frida, her work and her home. Her creative universe is to be found in the Blue House, the place where she was born and where she died. Following her marriage to Diego Rivera, Frida lived in different places in Mexico City and abroad, but she always returned to her family home in Coyoacan. Located in one of the oldest and most beautiful neighborhoods in Mexico City, the Blue House was made into a museum in 1958, four years after the death of the painter. Today it is one of the most visited museums in the Mexican capital. Popularly known as the Casa Azul (the ‘Blue House’), the Museo Frida Kahlo preserves the personal objects that reveal the private universe of Latin America’s most celebrated woman artist. The Blue House also contains some of the painter’s most important works: Long Live Life (1954), Frida and the Caesarian Operation (1931), and Portrait of My Father Wilhelm Kahlo (1952), among others. In the room she used during the day is the bed with the mirror on the ceiling, set up by her mother after the bus accident in which Frida was involved on her way home from the National Preparatory School. During her long convalescence, while she was bedridden for nine months, Frida began to paint portraits. -
Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas
5 Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Rem Koolhaas Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript -

Engineered Digital Textile Print Design for Customized Curves
Volume 10, Issue 3, 2018 Engineered Digital Textile Print Design for Customized Curves Kisalaya Choudhary Professor, Textile Design, National Institute of Fashion Technology, India ABSTRACT There are various instances when women feel the need to wear clothes for a slimmer appearance than their actual body shape. Looks and body appearance provide self-assurance to people, especially to those who are in a business related to physical appearances. Physical fitness and appearance have taken a parallel path in today’s world. Many designers have experimented with garments providing body shape deceiving and illusionistic effect through meticulous use of solid colors, slimming patterns, and illusion print designs. This research paper explores how smart edits in print design provide aesthetics blended with engineered slim looks, enhancing and customizing curves, per consumer preference, to create body size adjustments visually. The creative edits can be efficiently used for creating one piece/single garments customizing the curves and visual body shapes in synchronization with digital print design to enhance the body in a considerate manner.
