The Design Creativity as the way of dealing with students’ stress in the context of the global pandemic challenge
In this publication we concentrate our attention on finding the ways for dealing with students’ stress during the COVID-2019 pandemic period and implementing them into the constant practice. In the design practice we can consider stress not only as negative, but also positive experience. We present our own experience that unites educational technologies in the design practice, the design-methods and some moments of the art therapy. We examine students’ diploma projects simultaneously as the design-product and the design-process that have anti-stress effect and are the method of harmonization of the students’ internal world in terms of the changeable medium. We consider different ways of art visualization as the mechanism of self-actualization, decrease of anxiety and dealing with depressive conditions. The work outlines the strategy of using design creativity as the way of overcoming and preventing the effects of stress factors during studying in the context of global pandemic challenges.

Forecasted labor functions of fashion industry specialists
The labor functions of the fashion industry workers during cutting of the garments in case of modern and forecasted productions for substantiation of the content of training of qualified workers have been analyzed. The labor functions have been characterized in the context of structuring the production operation as to its phases: preparatory, executive, and control and management. For the operation on cutting of the clothing, the models of the content of the workers` labor for three types of production have been prepared: for industrial, individual, and forecasted. It has been grounded that during the forecasted production the major changes in the content of the cutters` work would take place at the preparatory stage and at the executive stage. It is summarized that during the forecasted production of garments, the qualified workers will need the knowledge and skills on the use of new technologies and materials, computerized equipment, and professionally-oriented software
The Use of Modern Digital Technologies in the Design and Technology VET in Ukraine
The objective of this paper is to substantiate the system of vocational education and training (VET) of fashion designers and technologists to perform computer modeling and design of the clothes. The use of the developed system of training specialists in fashion design, which provides for the use of CAD systems, contributes to the formation of readiness of future fashion designers to use specialized software in their professional activities. To increase the efficiency of VET, we used the following types of educational projects: development of creative collage, development of artistic sketches of clothes, design of templates for different sizes, use of programs for the 3D design of the clothes. A feature of this study is the selection of the software used in the design of the clothes, namely GraziaCAD and JULIVI CAD. The effectiveness of these types of tasks is confirmed by an experiment, in which 80 students from Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design took part (CG 44 students, EG 36 students). Comparing the results of incoming and outgoing control of the level of students’ readiness, a decrease in the number of students with a low level of readiness for the use of ICT in the professional activities was noted: from 22.7 % to 11.4 % in CG and from 22.2 % to 5.6 % in EG. At the same time, the percentage of students with a high level of readiness increased in both groups: from 29.5 % to 38.6 % in CG and from 25.0 % to 66.7 % in EG. Also, it should be noted that the biggest changes in the number of students with a high level of knowledge took place in EG. According to Pearson’s criterion, the compliance of CG and EG with the level of significance 0.05 was determined, and after the experiment, the difference between CG and EG with 95 % reliability was stated. The results of the study confirm the effectiveness of the generally accepted international practice of using digital design in VET in the field of fashion design and technologies
Study of properties of overcoating fabrics during design of women’s clothes in different forms
The article presents a study of the process of designing women’s garments of the coating and suiting assortment, made from different fabrics to determine the fabric properties effect on the parameters of shaping the volume-silhouette form of clothes. An expert evaluation of the signifi cance of material properties for the creation of tectonic forms of clothes was carried out and the most signifi cant properties were determined, i.e. rigidity, thickness, drapeability, mass per unit area, type of weave, raw material composition. An experimental study of physical and mechanical characteristics of overcoating fabrics was performed. To validate the research results, we made samples of women’s coats in different forms at a garment company. It was determined that the raw material composition of fabrics does not affect signifi cantly their physical and mechanical characteristics (drapeability, rigidity). The weave of fabrics which determines other indicators was considered to be more signifi cant. As a result, the relationships between the physical and mechanical properties of fabrics of the coat group and the shaping of women’s coats in different volume- silhouette forms were identifi ed. The latter can be used in the design of garments for an individual and mass production
Creativity and innovation in the design of public service announcements: classification and design models
In the study, we analyzed the relationship between creativity and innovation in the design of public service announcements. Their synthesis became the basis for the creation of dynamic visual communications that changed the perception of social message. Using widely known examples of public service announcements, we rethought the content and project features of such phenomenon as public service announcement from a design point of view. We consider innovative public service announcement as a set of dynamic processes which are based on different types of interactions. Therefore, we put a focus on the integration of visual communications with the environment and, moreover, with a human being as an integral part of the information message. The study resulted in the classification of innovations in modern social advertising, which is based on creative experiments related to composition, human sensory sensations, communication and environmental technology. It has been proven that the creation of creative artistic images is based on universal design models, formed as a result of the synthesis of design thinking and innovation and, therefore, they are suitable for solving a wide range of social problems. The study substantiates the system of strategic goals for the development of innovative public service announcements which are aimed at sustainable development of society
