| Course Description | This course approaches digital illustration as an experimental medium for artistic production. It aims to enable students to question conventional fashion forms and beauty perceptions while developing their own unique visual languages. The course focuses on hybrid methods that combine analog techniques (sketching, ink textures, and texture scanning) with digital tools (such as Photoshop and Procreate). Through photomanipulation, abstraction, deformation, and digital collage techniques, students are encouraged to create artistic outcomes that emphasize the conceptual and atmospheric aspects of fashion. |
