Designers Nexus Time Saver #3:
Easy Fashion Colorways with Illustrator Live Color

Fashion Sketch Templates

Apparel designers and fashion CAD designers can use pre-sketched seamless vector patterns to quickly render fashion sketches with fabric prints. The Live Color feature in Adobe Illustrator allows fashion designers to easily recolor rendered sketches using precise RGB color values – enabling them to create textile design colorways with a few simple clicks! Adobe Illustrator even automatically defines a swatch for new colorways in the Swatches Panel! NOTE: Live Color only works to recolor vector swatches and artwork.
