People demonstrate Abstract: Textile designing has emerged as a new emerging how they belong, where they are in place technology area known for its creativity, science and And time, by shaping the lines and color of their cloths technology. Many concepts of textile designing have been and furnishing in their homes1. Among all the designing analyzed towards color, contrast, brightness along with other fields, textile designing is an ever increasing field which mathematical concepts such as geometric transformation and bridges fashion design, carpet manufacturing and cloth formulas. These concepts demonstrate usual process in textile related designing fields. Textiles have occupied a design industry. But the techniques being used are not so prominent place in the world in different geographic efficient to create versatile designs with improved coloring regions and in all climatic conditions since ancient times. and innovative patterns. For the solution, efforts have been made to explore the vast ocean of mathematical functions to Traditionally drawings of woven textile pattern were get more innovative designs using fractal software. Fractals translated onto special forms of graph papers i.e. point are the new branch of mathematics having non-integer papers were used by weavers but now a day’s several dimension and is considered as the nature's biggest design designing software are available for creating designs or secrets and use of this technique in textile designing has pattern2. In the last two decades, research on fractal brought a new era in design industry. This paper includes geometry has gained much attention for its theoretical many concepts and assimilation which opens a new door in significance and practical applications and it has also textile design field. become the next wave for new ideas in design. The word Keyword: Fractal, Self-similarity, Kaleidoscope, Ultra “fractal” was first time coined by Benoit Mandelbrot in fractal, Julia, Coloring Algorithm. mid 70’s who used the word “fractal” to describe irregular shaped objects in nature3. 1. INTRODUCTION Fractals are typically self-similar pattern, where self similar means they are “the same from near as from far”4. The textile industry is extremely competitive, and Fractals are incredibly beautiful designs which can be producers are constantly searching for a new competitive enjoyed for their color and amazingly infinite details. It edge to perform better and to stay a step ahead of other was a great scientific discovery, which changed human’s producers. It is very important for the designers to attitudes towards life and helped humans to understand understand the market and the group or age of the people, the nature and the universe, i.e. - “even the irregularities they are going to target. Texture and pattern designing is are always in some way regular!”5. a hotspot of research in textile industry as well as in Many textile patterns show elements of fractals, due to computers graphics. All kinds of objects and scenery the appeal of self similarity. These designs are made with including man-made abstract objects can be used as a little complexities, leading to the evolution of decorative texture in pattern design. Earlier the method used to design. Jhane Barnes was the first lady who used fractal create designs was very much traditional and the design design as a textile design. She redefined fashion textiles processes were tough and Limited to the experts only. using weaving and textile software to decide how the design will be woven into fabric. In design industry, In today’s world, the design of any product directly strike fractals are used to compress images by reducing data people’s mind because it gives attractiveness to the redundancies, creating a perfect platform for textile product designing. The design and fabrications have design.

Traditional fractal pattern design has some disadvantages such as inability to effectively reflect the characteristics of real scenery and texture. In our research paper, we are going to propose a solution for wonderful textile designs by combining pattern design technique with fractal geometry using Ultra Fractal 5.0. 2. METHODOLOGIES Our focus is to find innovative and beautiful design using mathematical functions. The fractal methodologies used in designing is a laborious process and the desired effective design is achieved after some efforts and patience. It is a challenging field so a designer may face the following challenges: To choose the appropriate fractal formula To choose the desired mapping function To choose the effective coloring scheme To choose the appropriate formula and coloring, one should rely on his/her own intuition Different patterns and styles have been created by using Ultra Fractal 5.0.

Because of its long tradition of printing and dyeing technology cycle, complicated production process, and the pollution of the environment, energy consumption in the future development of the ecological environment has hazards. By using Ultra Fractal to simulate fractal tie-dye pattern, reproduce the Chinese traditional tie-dye art, but also carry forward the traditional culture and inheritance. Keywords: Simulation; Fractal; Tie-dye. Introduction Tie-dye is an ancient folk art, handmade tie-dye all over the world, different historical and geographical environment, create tie-dye works differently[1].Since the penetration of fiber texture of the fabric, the fabric will be a strong level of color halos, even if the same graphic design, because of different method, different tightness, different water temperatures will allow the works to produce dry-changing of the results , so there will be some limitations in the design, and computer simulation can be dyed just right to fill the vacancy[2]. In recent years, through the use of computer-aided design technology graphic design, fractal pattern design and intelligent graphic design and digital printing technology and other methods combined. Wherein the graphic design software, image processing software Photoshop, graphics software Freehand, Illustrator, Corel Draw, mapping software Painter, typesetting software Pagemkae, Quark, etc.

It looks as if space/time may have a fractal dimension of 1.618. At the center of the graph is the beginning of time. If you study this model closely, you will notice that space expanded at a rate far greater than the speed of light. Originally drawn in 1997. In the beginning unity. The distinction between the one and the many or inside and outside could be visualized as a M ö bius transformation of a sphere, Klein bottle, or maybe a torus or double torus, expressing itself as one, then two, then three dimensions.

    Art of Burning Man 2013 Art of Burning Man 2013 The playa is a tabula rasa, a blank canvas upon which many a fantastic vision has been realized. Submarines, gigantic ducks, swimmers, fire-breathing thistles, serpents, chan- deliers, grandfather clocks and balsa wood temples have emerged from the playa. The projects featured in this guide were selected as Honorarium projects for 2013. Ev- ery year Burning Man allocates a percentage of its revenue from ticket sales to funding select art projects that are collaborative, community-oriented and interactive. We do this in order to support the Burning Man art community, and to facilitate the creation of outstanding art for Black Rock City. The vast majority of art installations on the pla- ya, however, are not funded. In 2013, a percentage of your hard-earned ticket money BLACK ROCK CITY helped to fund the following art installations, for all Burning Man participants to enjoy. GO CU This guide was put together using availble information on the web and references ma- CAR LT terials that origninate from the artists’ websites, fundraising projects and press. Photos used are also from these sources and may not credit the original photographer (please forgive us for that!). We hope this guide will illuminate the artists’ vision, and illustrate the immense amount of work that goes into bringing their magic cargo to the playa. 2013 Come visit the Artery in BRC at 6:30 and Esplanade to pick up self-guided tour maps that make a great companion to this guide.
