Most Thorough Guide Out There, September 21, 2009

This review is from: Technical Sourcebook for Designers (Paperback)

With 20 years industry experience and 10 years of teaching technical design and patternmaking, I think this is the most thorough reference I've seen. I have already recommended it to two small companies for whom I do freelance work and I used it myself as a reference when I was working on a product category that is new to me. I think this book will be good for students, for small companies who don't have a lot of technical knowledge and also as a reference book in the library of larger companies who do have technical expertise on staff but need all that knowledge colated in one place. Since it is a dense book, my recommendation would be to spend an hour skimming through all the chapters to familiarize yourself with the content. And then when you have a question, you'll be able to read that section thoroughly. There is an incredible amount of useful information is this book.

This review is from: Technical Sourcebook for Designers (Paperback)

I read this book to review it as a textbook in a class I teach but ended up learning things myself. I have been a professional in the apparel industry for 10 years and reading this reminded me of things I had learned and sort of forgotten about because of the area of apparel design my career has focused on. Reading it made me realize that I once I got into the industry I sort of forgot about some of the things I learned in school because under the pressure of deadlines, I overlooked some of the great creative details I would have addressed if I had time. This is a great textbook because it addresses all areas of techinical design not just some. I would have loved it as a student because one book could have been used for many subject instead of buying one for each (with a bunch of useless information in each I did not need.) Again, this is a pleasure to read and valuable resource. It reminds me of how much I know, how much I love this industry and that I can always learn more.
