Description
This powerful software program and accompanying volume - which can also be used independently for learning about the principles of symmetry - enable designers to create complex two-dimensional symmetrical patterns quickly. It expedites the creation and modification of a wide variety of designs and patterns. Design versatility is expanded with techniques of experimentation that make it possible to turn one motif into hundreds of designs. Also covered is how to save files and transfer images to other documents, how to use them in page layouts, and their integration in compositions done with other software packages. Designers will master the computer-aided design of patterns that can be used for fabrics, wrapping paper, wall covering, draperies, furniture, rugs, tiles and more.
