Textile Surface Pattern Designs as Medium of Promoting Educational Policies in Ghana

Surface pattern designs have the potential of communicating with the viewer so far as the motifs and the patterns in the design are well understood by the viewer. This can be achieved through the use of design concepts that make meaning to people at a glance. It is for this reason that this paper seeks to promote educational policies and programmes implemented by government in the Ghanaian society and beyond through the use of concept-oriented printed textile designs.

Motifs have been developed based on the selected educational policies and programmes in this study. Additionally, sample of designs produced have been printed on fabrics so as to demonstrate the usefulness of the designs. The printed textile designs produced when printed on fabrics and worn would go a long way to promote the government economic policies and programmes as well as the textile printing industry in general.
