A Review of Differences and Similarities in the Drawing Practices of Graphic and Textile Designers
This conference paper is based on new data collected in the final phase of the author’s long-term study into the role of drawing in design. Early findings in this final phase indicated the potential for a detailed comparative analysis between the drawing practices of graphic designers, and textile designers and this paper sets out the general principles of this new contribution to knowledge. The long-term study is unique in design and drawing research in that it has been a programme of systematic and consistent investigation conducted over a thirty year period at a time of fundamental changes in designerly practice.
