Cloth, like any other manufactured article, must be planned before it can be manufactured article, must be planned before it can be manufactured. To plan a weave structure for a fabric, one must have knowledge of the various methods of interlining threads to form cloth and some understanding of the mechanism of the loom. If color is used, the designer must have insight into the problems of planning color combinations and knowledge of color arrangements are provided for a loop. This advance planning of a fabric is called textile design and the person responsible for the plan is called a textile designer. A textile designer working with woven design is usually a person with textile school training and most invariably a man since the entrance to the business is through textile engineering.

                    Commercial artists plan the designs used on printed cloth. The design might conceivably be unprinted on part, on cloth, or on plaster and be equally artistic and satisfactory in any of these mediums. For the artist, the cloth is merely a background for the design which is printed on the cloth after it is woven. This designer is usually trained in an art school, is primarily interested in the color and form of his design, not in the cloth background. If he specializes in designs for textiles, his business is identified as a textile design and he may be called a textile designer. Both men and women enter this field.

Since the term “textile design” may properly refer to two very different activities, it is desirable to know which meaning is intended. This course is restricted to the consideration of woven design and the problems weave of weave structure, and are prepared for textile engineering students interested in fabric construction.
