2008 Winner (3 of 15)

Digital Textile Futures: Integration of New Technologies
Supervisors: Dr Amanda Briggs-Goode, Dr Nigel Marshall, Tina Downes (Applied Design, Art and Design)

The project explored the 3 technologies or the Miramaki 2 Textile Digital Printing, the Barudan Multi-Head Embroidery machine and the Dracup Samplemaster Jacquard Loom. The two students on the project gained a working knowledge of the software and production processes to enable some initial comparisons and contrast of the technologies to be made by analysing how designs are interpreted through the technology, how processes affect the designs and by analysing the visual effects of these parameters.
