Fusion of compositional principles in decorative design and the technical development of the fabrics

Background: Notions of composition are present in decorative design in order to create a correct ornamentation in terms of compositional principles, but they also represent the parameters that a designer must follow to create the design of the decoration. Aim of the study: The aim of the study highlight the importance knowledge of both technical and aesthetic principles in creating a correct and complex design with elements of novelty. Methods: Collecting and researching notions, ways and possibilities by which a design product can be created while respecting decorative compositional principles, but also taking into account technical ones. Results: The technique of making fabrics is determined by the capacity and limitations of the available machinery. Thus, the aesthetic and technical sides of a project work together to find the optimal solution for designing and implementing the decoration. The rigour of technical design involving calculations based on how to combine ornamental ratios, their dimensions and scaling, and the need to conceive a new or reinterpreted decorative design, make the designer more motivated to find the optimal solution, at the basis of which lies his creativity. The dimensions and ergonomics of the object to be decorated are important to take into account when scaling the decorative design, but also the way of assigning shades to the elements of the composition are imperative to establish before starting the actual weaving. Disussion and Conclusion: According to this research, sometimes overlooking the technical limitations of the machines, the designer's ability to mould himself to the concrete things and his ability to think the design correctly from the point of view of the final compositional aspect stands out.
