A designer is a person whose work uses a design process. This means that a designer could be anyone who uses drafts, sketches, conceptual models (perhaps created inside virtual worlds like computer programs) to aid in the creation of a work, a product, or an equipment of any scale.

Classically, the main areas of design were only Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, which were understood as the major arts. The design of clothing, furniture and other common artifacts were left mostly to tradition or artisans specializing in hand making them.

With the increasing complexity of today’s society, and due to the needs of mass production where more time is usually associated with more cost, the production methods became more complex and with them the way designs and their production is created. The classical areas are now subdivided in smaller and more specialized domains of design (Landscape Design, Urban Design, Exterior Design, Interior Design, Industrial Design, Furniture Design, Cloth Design, and many more) according to the product designed or perhaps its means of production.

The education, experience and genetic blocks that form the base of a competent designer is normally similar no matter the area of specialization, only in a later stages of training and work will designer diverge to a specialized field. The methods of teaching or the program and theories followed vary according to schools and field of study. Today, a design team, no matter the scale of the equipment, is usually composed by a master designer (the head of the team) that will have the responsibility to take decisions about the way the creative process should evolve, and a number of technical designers (the hands of the team) specialized in diverse areas according to the product proposed. For more complex products, the team will also be composed of professionals from other areas like engineers, advertising specialists, and others as required. The relationships established between team members will vary according proposed product, the processes of production, the equipment available, or the theories followed during the idea development, but normally they are not too restrictive, giving an opportunity to everyone in the team to take a part in the creation process or at least to express an idea.

How do fashion designers get celebs into their clothing?
Q. So I know most celebs pick what they like to wear or are dressed by a stylist. But I have heard of some designers sending clothing items to celebs hoping for publicity for their line. How do you find out where to send the stuff to?

A. you send the clothes to them as directly as you can and if they like the colthes, they will wear them! then people will ask where they got their clothes from and you say "i made it" and then people will begin to know your name therefore, you become more popular and other people will want to buy your clothes ect ect

Asked by nikki.babii330 - Tue Feb 26 20:51:25 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. First, I would just google fashion design jobs to answer your question. As for the first, yes. Everyone needs keyboarding skills. They need to update their blog about all of the faux-pas fashion disasters they see on the streets. They have to send e-mails to modeling agencies to get models for their show. They need a place to house their shows, so they have to e-mail the owner of the building. And search for workers in their area to help set up the show. So yes, they need keyboarding skills.
