Fashion Design on Computers

Summary: You cannot live without this book!
Review: I cannot say enough about this book. I thought that to be a fashion designer it was important to be in a big city like Los Angeles or New York. This book proved me wrong. When I arrived at a top fashion design school in LA I presented the teaching staff with this text. They were beside themselves. They all agreed it was the best text they had read concerning fashion design on computers. However, no one at my top notch school felt they had the skills to teach the material. That was their loss! This book is wonderful because even a beginner can jump right in and start designing. The easy step by step instructions and clear screen shots make it so easy to succeed. You will be blown away by your own work. Even if you have experience with designing on the computer, like I did, just skip right to the intermediate or advanced parts of the book. You will not believe how greatly your work will improve. Anyone who expects to compete in fashion design needs to own this bible for Fashion Design on Computers. My only regret is paying $20,000 for a two year education in fashion design when I learned more from this $50 book in just weeks.

Summary: Computers offer a lot more than this
Review: I guess this might be good for someone who doesn't know how to use a computer---but in design---who doesn't today?

I've been designing a long time---and it is a lot more than what this book has to offer. Not a good value for the money.

Summary: Nothing new here
Review: Seems like the book is going to really help you learn how to design while you're reading the first few chapters-but then it falls apart. First you have to go through a bunch of basic stuff-that anyone knows---and then if you know ANYTHING about computers it is is nothing more than the tutorials or help menus of different software programs.
