Textile designers create two-dimensional designs that can be used, often as a repeat design, in the production of knit, weave and printed fabrics or textile products.Working in both industrial and non-industrial locations, they often specialise, or work in a specialist context, within the textile industry.
The two major areas of textiles are:- Interiors (upholstery, soft furnishings and carpets);
- Fabrics for clothing (fashion or specialist, e.g. fire-proof).
