16 tutorials of manual and digital techniques


Creativity is the spark behind the invention of new and original collections, but the right drawing techniques and clean graphics make the outcome clear and professional.

The new book by designer and illustrator Claudia Ausonia Palazio explores 16 Capsule Collections with intuitive, accessible tutorials that any aspiring designer will find useful.

Each capsule collection comes with a moodboard – a mosaic of images aiming to represent a coherent idea and create a certain mood – and a selection of media and tools essential for every designer.

To broaden the field of possibility in the creative process, the author has decided to include an array of illustration techniques: from paint to watercolours, pencils to wax pastels to collage.

A section of digital illustration offers the possibility of creating infinite combinations of strokes, colours and compositions.

The 10 outfits in each collection help the reader understand the various interpretations of each concept, stimulating the imagination to come up with unique, personal collections.

The concept of play, of shifting and merging the images, combined with the array of inspirations from fashion shows, landscapes, fabrics and artworks that make up the creative puzzles, add verve and dynamism to be applied in a creative way to the silhouettes. The choice of body type, structure and make-up, backed by the accuracy of the drawing paper, tones and descriptions, lend the concepts a professional aura that creatives will find easy to use.
