Download or read book Costume Design and Home Planning written by Estelle Peel Izor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Costume Design and Home Planning The purpose of the book on Costume Design is to help establish in the minds of girls a sane, sensible, well-balanced attitude toward dress, and to help them to realize that beauty is dependent upon principles of Art, as well as to attain a standard by which they may be guided in the artistic, economic, and wise selection of the innumerable common things that their daily life compels them to use. The subject-matter is presented from the art side alone, and deals with materials and construction only when these elements influence the character of the design. No attempt has been made to present this matter from the viewpoint of either Domestic Art or Commercial Costume Designing, although it should be the basis of both. The course was begun by another, but has been developed wholly by myself. It is correlated with the Domestic Art Department to the degree that the garments designed in Costume classes arc made in the Domestic Art classes.

Download or read book Costume Design and Illustration Classic Reprint written by Ethel Traphagen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-04 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethel Traphagen's work Costume Design and Illustration is a detailed textbook for use by those working to create and accurately represent costumes using illustrations. This is clearly intended to be an instructional work for aspiring and practicing costume designers. Before offering technical advice, Traphagen highlights what she believes to be an important distinction between designers and illustrators. Designers are those who must create a garment from their imagination and represent it on a page, whereas illustrators must take a garment that exists and accurately represent it through a drawing. Traphagen believes it is vital for both designers and illustrators to have an intimate knowledge of the skills and requirements of the other's task, and thus presents this book as essential to both groups. The information presented in this textbook follows a logical progression. Early chapters detail strategies and techniques for effective sketching, including information on sketching both with and without models. Later chapters discuss specific methods to use when sketching, the use of colour in illustrations, the principles of effective fashion design, and specific information on period fabric selection, amongst other topics. Costume Design and Illustration is a brief and accessible work. The images presented within the book are useful and effectively illuminate the text. While this book would be most useful for those with some experience in costume design and illustration, it can also serve as a worthy introduction to the topic. At less than 200 pages, it can be read in a day, but would probably be best served by slowly digesting the techniques presented within and spending ample time practicing. For anybody involved in costume design, or for those interested in getting into the art, Costume Design and Illustration would be an excellent addition to your library.

Download or read book Textiles and Costume Design Classic Reprint written by Evelyn Peters Ellsworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from d104iles and Costume Design Indeed, ermine is a striking example of a misused accessory in a costume. It is fascinating, because it conjures up visions of royal personages, knights and ladies. The laws of the Middle Ages (edward III) required that it be worn only by nobles, and to-day in Europe ermine is worn on state robes; the rank and position of the wearer is in many cases indicated by its presence or absence and the disposition of the black spots, and when worn in crowns or coronets it is a recognition of heraldry. Therefore, at all times it should be reserved for state occasions or worn for mally with certain royally textured and dignified clothes and fabrics, just as velvets and satins are reserved for formal gowns and not for kitchen or garden work, just as large velvet hats are not worn in the morning with workaday clothes or short skirts, and just as royally plumed, large velvet hats are suited only to formal afternoon or evening gowns of velvet or satin. Much might be written upon this subject of good taste and imagination in the wearing of clothes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Billy Baldwin Decorates written by Billy Baldwin and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billy Baldwin, known as the "Dean of American Decorating," is famous for his classical taste, streamlined modernism, and brilliant use of color. He is one of the most important decorators of the twentieth century, whose work has influenced contemporary designers from Bunny Williams to Jeffrey Bilhuber. A native of Baltimore, Baldwin's work caught the eye of eminent New York decorator Ruby Ross Wood. She invited him to join her firm, saying his work stood out "like a beacon of light in the boredom of the houses around it." Baldwin's style was a revelation--simultaneously classical and modernist, tailored and clean, yet dramatically colored, and above all American. An enemy of clutter and conspicuous wealth, he favored natural materials and comfortable furniture. In this book, the renowned American decorator suggests ways to give rooms personality and includes photographs and plans that illustrate his imaginative use of color and design

Book excerpt: From the award-winning costume designer of Amazon Prime Video's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, a collection of the show’s costumes, with never-before-seen photography, sketches, production stills, and more Amazon Prime Video’s Emmy- and Golden Globe–winning series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel centers on Miriam "Midge" Maisel, a 1950s New York City woman whose seemingly perfect life suddenly takes an unexpected turn, taking her from a comfortable life on Riverside Drive through the basket houses and nightclubs of Greenwich Village as she embarks on a groundbreaking standup comedy career. Created by Amy Sherman-Palladino (creator and showrunner of Gilmore Girls), and starring Rachel Brosnahan, Alex Borstein, and Tony Shalhoub, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel has garnered fan and critical praise alike, with much of the attention focused on the exquisitely designed period costumes. Madly Marvelous: The Costumes of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel explores the inner workings of award-winning costume designer Donna Zakowska’s process, as well as the many inspirations for the show’s wardrobe, including period photography, American and European fashion trends, and the various cultures and countercultures of late-1950s New York. The clothes of Mrs. Maisel are gorgeous, authentically detailed, and carefully crafted. Illustrated with sketches, photographs from Zakowska’s workspace, behind-the-scenes shots, and production stills, the book follows the series from season to season, showing how the vocabulary of fashion—context, style, color, cut, accessories, and more—is integral to defining and developing the characters in the show. Madly Marvelous is a must-have for fans of the show and fashionistas alike, providing readers with a curated and well-informed look at an integral period in fashion history.

Download or read book A Pattern Language written by Christopher Alexander and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can use this book to design a house for yourself with your family; you can use it to work with your neighbors to improve your town and neighborhood; you can use it to design an office, or a workshop, or a public building. And you can use it to guide you in the actual process of construction. After a ten-year silence, Christopher Alexander and his colleagues at the Center for Environmental Structure are now publishing a major statement in the form of three books which will, in their words, "lay the basis for an entirely new approach to architecture, building and planning, which will we hope replace existing ideas and practices entirely." The three books are The Timeless Way of Building, The Oregon Experiment, and this book, A Pattern Language. At the core of these books is the idea that people should design for themselves their own houses, streets, and communities. This idea may be radical (it implies a radical transformation of the architectural profession) but it comes simply from the observation that most of the wonderful places of the world were not made by architects but by the people. At the core of the books, too, is the point that in designing their environments people always rely on certain "languages," which, like the languages we speak, allow them to articulate and communicate an infinite variety of designs within a forma system which gives them coherence. This book provides a language of this kind. It will enable a person to make a design for almost any kind of building, or any part of the built environment. "Patterns," the units of this language, are answers to design problems (How high should a window sill be? How many stories should a building have? How much space in a neighborhood should be devoted to grass and trees?). More than 250 of the patterns in this pattern language are given: each consists of a problem statement, a discussion of the problem with an illustration, and a solution. As the authors say in their introduction, many of the patterns are archetypal, so deeply rooted in the nature of things that it seemly likely that they will be a part of human nature, and human action, as much in five hundred years as they are today.
