I recently took on a new position at The University of Texas as a teaching assistant for a computer assisted textile design course. The course uses Photoshop to create unique designs by methods of color reduction, color replacement, and a myriad of other techniques. Here is a sampling of a quick color reduction and replacement from lab.
To me this process reminds me of silk screening t-shirts. When you color reduce to just two or three colors you can get these really great effects with minimal effort.
As a teaching assistant for this course I am excited to learn the creative techniques they are applying to textile design. In journalism these kinds of alterations would be out of the question as it is unethical to alter a photograph's content.
