2014 is right around the corner and that means it is time to design your New Year’s resolutions. Need a little help? Determine which type of designer you are below and follow our plan to make 2014 the year you reach your design goals.

Learn a new skill each month in 2014.

The Dedicated Designer – Dedicate each month to a learning a new skill. By 2014’s end, you will have mastered patterning a basic pant sloper, draping a wrap skirt, rendering floral print or any twelve of the many lessons offered at the University of Fashion that appeal to you.

The Disciplined Designer – The lessons at the University of Fashion are conveniently grouped by five disciplines – Fashion Art, Pattern Making, Draping, Sewing and Fashion Product Development. Make it your goal to tackle the lessons one discipline at a time. Be sure to reward yourself with a video from our Fashion Connections section when you feel you have successfully completed one of the five core disciplines.

Make a list of skills that need review.

The Diligent Designer – Make a list of skills you feel need reviewing. Match our lessons to your needs and start to mark off your list one lesson at a time.

We look forward to adding lessons on color theory, licensing and additional draping techniques in the new year.
