A textile designer’s job is multifaceted. You not only create the artwork for the design, either by hand or digitally, but you also need to be able to marry the creative vision of what the finished design will look like with a good understanding of fabrics, fibers and dyes and the technical considerations and aspects of the fabric print production process. As well as knowing who your customer is you also need to consider the end use of the design and if the print will suit not only the final product but also appeal to your target market. For example, if your target market is toddlers than the products would need to appeal to the parents and be toddler appropriate. The style of artworks you design for toddlers would be very different then for a mature lady.
