Digital Fashion Illustrations
I add this technological component to the second semester or Fashion II class for those students continuing their fashion design studies. I recommend the book Figure Poses for Fashion Illustrators available from Amazon with a CD included with over 200 fashion figure templates that are copyright free. These can be used with Photoshop and students can add patterns, colors and clothing to the fashion figures.

Fashion Design Programs for Kids recommended from EHow.com:
Many companies have caught on to the trend and interest in fashion design and allow customers to design their own athletic shoe, prom dress, even wedding dress and the company makes it, and sends the finished product to the designer. Therefore, I have this as a homework assignment.
Athletic Shoe Design
"Fashion Students- This week to supplement the shoe designs you are drawing, you will be designing a custom built athletic shoe on the computer. You will be emailing me your design for your grade, but you can also create a poster, and submit them to the Nike website for display to the world. (Perhaps you will get discovered as the awesome designer you are becoming! ) Here is what you do: Go to NikeID:
Follow the steps to choose the colors and style of shoe. When finished making all your selections you can “share your design” on their website, facebook, or via email. You need to email me at school so I can view your design and give you a grade. If you wish you can design other Nike apparel as well. If you make other items send those to me as well and you will get Extra Credit. You can order a poster with your design on it, and you can of course order anything you design as well. Have fun! Mrs. Troyanos"
