This book is for textile designers and for everyone curious about the integration of graphic design with textile surface printing. The book is also a blessing for fashion designers who want to fully integrate graphic design with textile fabrics. Designers working on how abstract graphic designs with intense color palette range will work on different types of fabrics will also benefit enormously from this book.

The book embraces you with knowledge about different types of abstract designs. It provides lovely illustrations of abstract designs that can be used directly for textile printing and also can act as inspiration or motivation for the development of new designs. Abstract designs represent an accurate depiction of visual reality and use shapes, colors and forms to achieve its effect. It is also applied to art that uses forms, such as geometric shapes, which have no source at all in an external visual reality.

Color makes a design come alive and is an important parameter that is noticed by the customers. It can attract attention, set a mood and even influence our emotions and perceptions. Humans are trichromats and have three distinct types of receptor cells in our retina, each being sensitive to different light properties mainly to colors like red, green and blue. Hence, humans can see different colors because of these three little receptors. This book provides illustrations that show the importance of color and color combinations with bright, warm and dull colors. Different colors can create a different mood for a design. Mood means the feeling we get when we look into the design. We can create the mood by selecting warm or cool colors that remind us of the emotions that we want in our design. The book shows flawless illustrations with great harmony between the diverse shapes and overall color combinations.

All the illustrations in this book are explained briefly. The illustrations can also be used in other areas like wallpaper design, packaging design, ceramic design and many more. I hope the work will inspire you and that you gain a great deal of pleasure from this book.

Abstraction is a way of viewing and perceiving the world around us. Abstraction often originates from reality with a shift in emphasis from complete entity to the finer details. Abstraction, like a representative art, is an expression of the state of mind and passions of the artist. The features of the landscape are symbolized using the basic design elements with the emotions and perceptions of the artist articulated by the choice of colors.

Abstraction can be embedded with deeper spiritual meanings and can inspire the viewer to see beyond oneself. There is no precise formula or recipe for the creation of abstract art. There are some rudimentary guiding principles to commence the journey of abstraction with more than one route to reach the destination. Abstraction requires the application of all the fundamental and foundational elements of art along with much planning, thought and skill.
