Instructor: Christina Denekas Office 1043D LeBaron Hall Office Phone: 515.294.7821 Email: [email protected] Office Hours: by appointment

Prerequisites: AMD 321 and AMD 325 or concurrent Meeting Times: TH: 11:00 AM – 1:50 PM

Location: LeBaron 2051 (class meeting room) & 1055 (DATS Lab on print days)

Overview Statement: In an interactive classroom environment, the instructor will present

information through lecture, demonstrations, hands on training, and discussion. Students will

complete a variety of print designs which will be applied and integrated onto student garment

designs. Each project will build upon learning from the previous one. Apparel construction will be

a large component of designs and therefore students are expected to understand the sewing

machine, fabrics, and various techniques involved with construction. Good design demands good

construction. All students will have prior sewing and construction experience and are expected to

apply appropriate techniques including zippers, seam construction, darts, and more. Students also

will be doing quite a bit of work on the computer as they manipulate images and designs to apply

to their garments. Always save your work and back up your files so you don’t loose data and miss a

deadline.

Course Description: Introduction to digital textile printing technologies in the fashion and

apparel industries, which includes an overview of the history of digital textile printing, color

matching, quality control, use of rip software, types of inks and print heads, profiling for print

efficiency and application of color communication within the printer’s capabilities. Development

of repeat and engineered prints to demonstrate an understanding of the interface of 2-D printed

textiles with 3-D apparel forms.

Instructional Method: Learning will occur in an interactive classroom environment, in which the instructor will present course information through lectures, discussions, and demonstrations. Students will be evaluated on the basis of one non-engineered print design project, two engineered print design projects, quizzes, and a digital textile design paper. The class will meet twice a week for two-hour time periods. Learning Outcomes: Based on College of Human Sciences (CHS) Learning Outcomes, all graduates form the AESHM Department should be able to demonstrate the General Department Learning Outcomes:

1. Communication; 2. Self-assessment/self-reflection; 3. Critical thinking; and

Course Policies: Class begins promptly at the designated time. Work times in the lab are just as important as lecture, discussion and demonstrations. Along with your own efforts, you are expected to learn by observing the problems encountered by your classmates and their solutions. You are expected to have all assignments completed on time and participate in classroom critiques and discussion. You are also expected to take an active role in your education, take initiative, and ask questions for assistance. Academic Honesty – The class will follow Iowa State University’s policy on academic

dishonesty. Anyone suspected of academic dishonesty will be reported to the Dean of Students

Office. http://www.dso.iastate.edu/ja/academic/misconduct.html

It is expected that all work you submit will be original and solely the result of your own efforts. Submitting work from a previous semester is not allowed. Resubmission of work will result in a 0 for the project. “The academic work of all students must comply with all University policies on academic honesty. Examples of academic misconduct are:

Attempting to use unauthorized information in the taking of an exam;

Submitting as one’s own work, themes, reports, drawings, laboratory notes, computer programs or other products prepared by another person;

Knowingly assisting another student in obtaining or using unauthorized materials; or

Plagiarism.” (Student Conduct Code, Section 4.2.1, p. 27) All instances of cheating will be handled individually and disciplinary actions to be administered may include any or all of the following: a grade of “0” on the assignment or exam, automatic failure in the course. Accommodation of Special Needs - Iowa State University complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Sect 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. If you have a disability and anticipate needing accommodations in this course, please contact the instructor to set up a meeting within the first two weeks of the semester or as soon as you become aware of your need. Before meeting with the instructor, you will need to obtain a SAAR form with recommendations for accommodations from the Disability Resources Office http://www.dso.iastate.edu/dr/ , located in Room 1076 on the main floor of the Student Services Building. Their telephone number is 515.294.7220 or email [email protected]. Retroactive requests for accommodations will not be honored. Special accommodation exam - All students who need special accommodations for exams as indicated in their SARS agreement must arrange taking the exams at the Exam Accommodation Center (see below). To make sure that the exam is scheduled at the time of midterm/final, students should make reservations in advance. When students who do not need special accommodation miss an exam and are eligible for a make-up exam (e.g., illness), faculty or student with approval from the faculty should contact AESHM department office to check availability and then schedule the exam date/time. Or, consider giving the exam in his/her office. Alcohol & Controlled Substance Abuse - Abuse of alcohol or other controlled substances, during sponsored university events, during field studies, or in class settings, or when it creates a hazard for the student and others in the room provides justification for receiving a failing grade for the course or removal from the event. (See the ISU policies at http://policy.iastate.edu/policy/alcohol/ and http://policy.iastate.edu/policy/drugs ) Attendance - Attendance is required for every class session except for extenuating circumstances. You are allowed up to a total of three absences, excused or unexcused. At the fourth absence, your final grade will be lowered by 5 percent. Each additional absence beyond the fourth lowers your final grade by another 5 percent. Coming to class late (5 minutes or more) three times equals one

unexcused absence. Leaving early will also affect your final grade. If a class is missed it is your responsibility to obtain the information missed. Use your absences carefully! Class absences because of study tours, course-related field trips, professional conferences, practicum, and other educational activities that requires students to be absent from class will be handled as follows. Faculty supervising the educational activity should provide a memo or letter identifying specific dates and educational activity (study tour, field trip, etc.) to students sufficiently in advance so that faculty teaching other classes can be notified of absences. Students should allow no less than 5 days (excluding weekends) before the absence. Prior to the missed class, students need to discuss with the instructor make-up exams, announced quizzes, projects or labs that will be missed. Assignments – Late assignments will not be accepted. If you encounter extenuating circumstances please contact me within 6 hours of the projects due time. BlackBoard Usage: Students will be responsible for information posted on the course website. Students should check the site for additional project tutorials, grade sheets, etc. BlackBoard requires a properly configured browser. It is recommended that you run a browser test so BlackBoard works properly for you. Look for the “How to use BlackBoard” in the menu on the left. Scroll down to “Additional Information.” Click on the link “ISU Blackboard Support for Stduents.” Follow the directions listed. Do not assume that all is fine with your computer. You are encouraged to do this immediately so that you will not fall behind. Any technical problems regarding Blackboard should be pursued through the recourses listed on the login page. Classroom Courtesy – Respect and care for the classroom and studio spaces are expected of each student. You are to leave the studio in better condition than you found it, so that all students have a positive experience using our studio and classroom spaces. You are expected to have the necessary materials and supplies for each meeting. Projects must be worked on in class, but some work will also need to be completed outside of class. Projects not worked on in class will not be accepted. You are encouraged to watch progress on projects of other class members and to share learning experience with others. Course Fees - A course fee of $95 is assigned to this class. A general fee of $45 is assessed to all students in the class that covers lab equipment maintenance and repairs, pattern paper, thread, etc. Students are responsible for purchasing all digitally printed fabric (ranging from $7 and up/yd.), along with notions, interlining, and other materials for constructing garments which the lab doesn’t provide. The cost of digitally printed fabric includes the 30% educational discount received by DATS to purchase it, along with a small upcharge to cover shipping inks, maintenance, supplies for the textile printer & steamer. Dead Week - This class follows the Iowa State University Dead Week policy as noted in section 10.6.4 of the Faculty Handbook http://www.provost.iastate.edu/resources/faculty-handbook. Due Dates (Departmental Policy) - All assignments/projects must meet class deadlines as established by the instructor. Technology problems are not acceptable excuses. All assignments are expected on the due date and time. NO late assignments will be accepted. Project assignments are to be turned in completely finished, including hems, closures, and any written evaluations required. Failure to do so will result in loss of points. The due dates for all assignments are included in the syllabus, but may be subject to change. You will be informed of any changes in class, blackboard or via e-mail. You are preparing to work in a professional environment where respecting due dates can make a crucial difference in your career. Take this seriously. Penalties start accruing immediately after the project/assignment deadline. Projects not submitted in class need to be turned into 31 MacKay for a date stamp during normal office hours (8am to 5pm). Unusual circumstances must be discussed with faculty before the project/assignment is due.

Electronic Devices – It is understood a large portion of this class will require students to use the computer. Therefore it’s encouraged you bring them to class so you can do work in class. Along with that comes the responsibility to use it appropriately and related to class projects assigned for that particular day. It’s asked that you refrain from using it while the instructor is teaching a lesson, and left for work time. All usage of laptops or other similar devices must be approved by the instructor. All cell phones should be turned off and put away, or the instructor can ask the student to leave the classroom for the rest of the class period, in which case it will be counted as an absence. Emergency Response - In an emergency situation, follow emergency response guide athttp://www.ehs.iastate.edu/sites/default/files/uploads/publications/posters/EmergencyPoster.pdf. For more information, refer tohttp://www.policy.iastate.edu/policy/emergencynotification. General - Use correct terminology; list citations for all references (use appropriate style such as APA, MLA, or the Chicago Style Manual), including Internet sources, and quotations (class materials will identify specific citation format to be used); apply appropriate mathematical and industry/business concepts, and use standard English grammar and punctuation. Global Citizenship - Global citizenship involves positive interaction with and respect for other cultures and the diversity of individuals in and out of the classroom. A good global citizen will make an effort to appreciate differences in language, culture, customs, behaviors and means of doing business, accept diversity and seek to build new relationships. Global citizens treat everyone with respect and courtesy in and out of the classroom. International faculty and teaching assistants are to be accorded the same attention and courtesy as given to other faculty and TAs. Harassment and Discrimination - Iowa State University strives to maintain our campus as a place of work and study for faculty, staff, and students that is free of all forms of prohibited discrimination and harassment based upon race, ethnicity, sex (including sexual assault), pregnancy, color, religion, national origin, physical or mental disability, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, or status as a U.S. veteran. Any student who has concerns about such behavior should contact his/her instructor, Student Assistance at 515-294-1020 or email [email protected], or the Office of Equal Opportunity and Compliance at 515-294-7612. Picking Up Student Work Following Grading - The pickup of all student projects and papers must be monitored for security and confidentiality. Individual professors/instructors may make arrangements to return assignments during class periods or from their offices. Items must be monitored by the professor/instructor to insure that they are not lost or stolen. Professors and instructors who are not able to sufficiently monitor this activity, must arrange for pick-up in 31 MacKay by providing the office staff with a class list. Students must show their student ID and sign for all items before they will be allowed to retrieve them. Presentations, projects, assignments, and papers - These graded dimensions of a course must be presented in the format identified in the syllabus or project/assignment description handout. Professional Behavior - Professional behavior and a professional work attitude are expected of all students/staff/faculty at all times while on campus, in class, or while representing ISU away from campus (including field trips, field study, internships, and study tours). This includes respect and consideration of fellow students, faculty, and TAs; maintaining classroom spaces; meeting or adhering to dress codes, where applicable; and active participation in group and individual critiques and classroom discussions. Demonstration of respect includes paying attention to speakers, arriving on time for class or appointments, staying in class for the entire time and not walking out of class before it is over or returning after a few minutes, appropriate demeanor during class (no whispering, listening to music, no cell phones ringing or being answered, no use of electronic communication such as texting or visiting websites), etc.

Religious Accommodation - If an academic or work requirement conflicts with your religious practices and/or observances, you may request reasonable accommodations. Your request must be in writing, and your instructor or supervisor will review the request. You or your instructor may also seek assistance from the Dean of Students Office or the Office of Equal Opportunity and Compliance.

Repeating Courses - Some courses in the AESHM Department have high demand and limited capacity. Students who drop or withdraw or fail a course may be asked to skip a semester or year before being allowed to re-enroll in one of these high demand courses. Students should put forth their best effort in all classes in their major so as to avoid finding themselves in this situation. Standards for student work - All student work must adhere to the minimum standards listed below and in the course syllabus. Student Work in Repeat Classes - This policy applies to the work handed in by students who are repeating a course offered by the AESHM Department. All coursework for the repeat attempt must be original work and cannot have been worked on or submitted for a grade in the original or subsequent attempt(s). This coursework includes but is not limited to papers, presentations, notebooks, portfolios, projects, and labs. Any work submitted for a second time that had been submitted in a previous semester by that or any other student will receive an F for that project/assignment and a new project/assignment cannot be submitted later in the semester to remedy the F. (See the ISU policy at http://catalog.iastate.edu/academiclife/#academicdishonesty ) Teamwork - Communicate effectively with team members (attend group meetings, exchange critical contact information (email address and phone number(s)), share written communication – including email), work cooperatively with members, and contribute equally to project development and written/visual materials. Students failing minimum teamwork expectations may be removed from the team. See the syllabus for individual course policies.

Violence Free University - At ISU, violence, threats or implied threats of violence, and intimidation (verbal or physical acts intended to frighten or coerce) impede the goal of providing a safe environment and will not be tolerated. For more information, refer to http://www.policy.iastate.edu/policy/violence.

Work Areas - You are responsible for keeping the classroom neat and clean. Each student needs to clean up their work areas before she or he leaves. Pick up scraps on tables and the floor and put away pattern blocks and equipment. Absolutely no food or drink is allowed in the classroom at any time. It is the responsibility of the last person leaving the workroom to be sure the irons, lights, and all machines are turned off.

Course Assignments & Requirements: *For more detailed information on grading please refer to individual grade sheets.

For each project you are required to digitally print your fabric. Along with this you are required

to meet the deadline for having your file(s) to print turned in. If a student doesn’t turn a file in by

the deadline they won’t get fabric printed. You’ll still be required to finish the garment with

fabric purchased to meet the final project deadline. Grading reflects this on each grade sheet for a

total value of 38pts out of 150. These points will be lost resulting in a maximum grade of a C.

Non-Engineered Print Project I (150 points) - Each student will design and complete a repeat print yardage of fabric using the textile printer and demonstrates your advanced patternmaking skills along with advanced computer aided textile design skills. The focus is on creating yardage of fabric, utilizing the strengths of the digital printer (photographic quality, repeat, millions of colors, etc.)

specifically for apparel design. The final garment must be an original design utilizing an original textile design. Engineered Design Print Project II (150 points) - Each student will design an engineered print which will then be printed to the students chosen fabric using the textile printer and construct it into a finished piece. The focus is on creating engineered design specifically for an apparel garment. Engineered by ensuring a seamless transition of imagery over stylelines, fit locations, seamlines, &/or specific locations of desired imagery. The garment must be an original design along with an original textile design. Fusion Textile Design Project III (250 points) - Each student will design an ensemble using engineered printing processes and at least one additional textile art technique in the ensemble. AMD 528 Graduate Student Requirements - An additional goal of the project is for you to have completed project that may be the basis for a manuscript or presentation at a professional meeting.

Digital Textile Technology Paper (100 points) -- Each student will write a 7 to 10 (AMD 528 Graduate Student Requirement – 10 to 15 pages, excluding citations) page paper (citations in APA format) investigating a topic on digital textile printing approved by the instructor. Include information on designers (not featured in the text) who utilize digital textile printing in their products. Possible topics can include: textile printers, types, inks, advancements in printing, uses of the technology, research on inks, how companies are using the equipment… etc. Quizzes (10 @ 10 points each) (100 points) *some more or less than 10 Ten quizzes will be administered through Blackboard relating to topics discussed in class and course readings from the required textbooks. Quizes will be available from the start of the semester but will close prior to class (10 am) on the designated date listed in the Assignment section of the Course Schedule. Course Points: Grades will be posted on Blackboard. Instructor will make every effort to keep accurate records. However, it is your responsibility to monitor grade reports and keep all materials related to the course. Grade related claims should be in writing (e-mail acceptable) and must be done within one week after a project is returned.

AMD 329X

Non Engineered Project

Purpose: To design and complete a repeat to digitally print yardage of fabric, and construct an ensemble.

Project Overview: The focus is on creating yardage of fabric, utilizing the strengths of the digital printer

(photographic quality, repeat, millions of colors, etc.) specifically for apparel design. Each student will be

required to set up repeats in appropriate computer program(s) to print yardage. This repeat will be printed on

the fabric of the students choosing and used to create a finished garment. The garment must be an original

design along with the textile image. Create an apparel & textile design that is distinctive and demonstrates

your advanced patternmaking skills along with advanced computer aided textile design skills. Each student

will use fabric to design one complete apparel ensemble.

Criteria for the textile design (must address 2 of the following): Photographic imagery

Repeat

Large variation in color

Changes in scale of imagery

Fabric MUST be paid for before students will be allowed to remove it from DATS Lab. Each student will

receive an invoice upon printing completion. Payments can be made to the instructor in cash or check made

out to AESHM.

1. Develop a series of 4-5 garment sketches and 2-3 textile print ideas of different feels and design

appropriate for your selected target market. You may include these in your proposal and are encouraged

to meet with the instructor to review. Students will also need to select fabric on this day and begin pattern

work. The Project Proposal must be loaded on CyBox (refer to schedule for date/time).

2. You will be expected to come up with a plan to flat pattern and draping,your design and manipulate

images to print. Look through your AMD 225, AMD 325, and other textbooks for patterns that are

similar to your design or research as needed. You may use the blocks or slopers available in the

classroom to create your design. There is no criteria for size, but each student will be responsible for

either flat patterning, draping, etc and researching these methods on their own to design for desired size.

3. Create a muslin mock-up of your design. Conduct a fit session during the muslin critique (refer to

schedule for date/time) Make any needed alterations to the pattern to create the fit and design lines that

satisfy you and your instructor.

4. Fabric Print Day (refer to schedule for date/time) to print are due at 9am and to be turned in on CyBox

and titled as follows:

students name_project_fabric type.tiff

Once fabric is printed, and steamed by the instructor, each student will be responsible for washing

(according to instructions given) the fabric. From there each student will make up their design in the

printed fashion fabric. This may require some research of similar garments in stores to help evaluate

appropriate seam and finishing decisions. It is recommended that you do a final fitting on the dress form

before all facings and hems are completed.

5. Present your finished project in class. Submit the following items for grading:

Garment on a hanger, pressed, trimmed and marked with your name.

Rules for Use – Body Forms AMD 329X Fall 2016

Instructor Copy

I agree to use the forms in the industrial production lab with responsibility and consideration. I understand that the forms are essential to the success of all design students, and that my actions impact the success of everyone using the lab.

I agree not to remove the waistline tape or the essential guide pins from the form. If I notice that these are missing, I will notify an instructor so they can be replaced.

I agree that if I remove the bust bridge tape while I am using the form, that I will replace it when I am finished.

I know that the form is not a pincushion. I will not leave pins in the form when I am not actively using it.

I agree that when using the forms, I will not use any markers or other similar materials that may bleed through fabric and stain the forms.

When I am finished using the form, I agree to return the shoulders to their expanded position as well as drop the form to the lowest normal position. This puts significantly less stress on the form, ensuring the longest possible useful lifespan.

I agree that I will not leave my materials on a form when I am not actively using it. This includes, but is not limited to, pins, style tapes, muslin, and fashion fabric. If it is absolutely essential to my design that I leave materials on a form between work sessions, I understand that I must check with an instructor first. Only an instructor can grant permission to leave materials on the form, and any materials left on a form must be accompanied by a note from an instructor.

I agree that when I am done working with a form, I will roll it to an appropriate location – room 2063 against the north, east, and west walls.

I agree to record the form number I am using when I come in for open lab hours. I agree to inform instructors immediately if I noticed any damage on a form. I agree that if I am found responsible for damaging a form in a manner that necessitates its

replacement, I may be held responsible for that cost. Depending on the type of form, this cost may fall into the range of $800-$2500.

I agree not to move the forms to any rooms aside from 2051, 2061, or 2063 LeBaron Hall without instructor permission.

I have been informed of the above rules and agree to abide by them when using the bodyforms in

2051, 2061, and 2063 Le Baron Hall.
