Fabric & Material Setup

Proper fabric and material setup supports production accuracy by accounting for stretch, texture, and material behavior across print applications.


Overview

I prepared artwork for fabric and material-based production by adjusting files to account for stretch, texture, and printing constraints. I modified layouts, scale, and placement to ensure designs remained accurate once produced. This approach helps reduce revisions and preserves design integrity from setup through final production.


Responsibilities:

  • Adjusted files for fabric stretch, warp, and material-specific behavior

  • Set up bleed, safe zones, and finishing requirements 

  • Verified color consistency across materials 

  • Collaborated with production teams to confirm material specifications and requirements  

Tools Used:

  • Adobe Illustrator

  • Adobe Photoshop 

  • Adobe InDesign 

  • Fabric templates and color profiles  


Adjusted artwork based on warp direction and material behavior to prevent distortion. Layout and design placement accounted for fabric stretch, folds, and installation angles, ensuring the final print appeared as intended.
