Understanding CAD programs is essential for my goal of becoming an assistant designer. The digital design skills I learned allow me to communicate ideas clearly, develop detailed specifications, and prepare files used in the production process, all crucial for success in a professional design environment.
In today’s fashion industry, knowing how to use Adobe Illustrator and other CAD tools is key to creating accurate and professional designs. These programs help designers work efficiently and ensure every detail is clearly represented from concept to final garment.
