By examining the changes in design trends, techniques, and motifs, the study also aims to identify the factors that have influenced the evolution of printed fabric designs over time. Methods: This research adopts a concurrent embedded mixed method design, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. Primary data is collected through interviews with textile designers, manufacturers, and industry experts. A comprehensive analysis of printed fabric samples from pre-and post-2000 periods is conducted. The data collected is then analyzed using thematic analysis and statistical techniques. Findings: This research provides insights into the changes in design concepts in the printed fabric industry in Ghana. The study reveals shifts in design trends, such as the adoption of digital printing techniques, the incorporation of contemporary motifs, and the influence of global fashion trends. Research Limitation/Implications: The study's limitations include small sample size, limited representation of Ghana's textile printing industry's diverse design concepts, and insufficient exploration of production processes or market dynamics. Practical Implication: Research highlights design changes in Ghanaian textiles, enabling designers to create innovative, marketable printed fabrics and manufacturers to adapt production processes. Social Implication: The textile printing industry in Ghana significantly impacts cultural identity and economic development. Originality/Value: This research adds value to the existing literature on the textile printing industry by comprehensively analysing the design concepts in printed fabrics in Ghana.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="30bab389daf5c072b21d97b93f210fd8" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":107383429,"asset_id":109182746,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/107383429/download_file?st=MTczODc2MTg5Myw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="109182746"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="109182746"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 109182746; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=109182746]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=109182746]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 109182746; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='109182746']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "30bab389daf5c072b21d97b93f210fd8" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=109182746]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":109182746,"title":"An Analysis of Design Concepts in Printed Fabrics: A Comparative Study of Pre- And Post-2000 Textile Printing Industry in Ghana","translated_title":"","metadata":{"publisher":"African Journal of Applied Research","ai_title_tag":"Design Concept Evolution in Ghanaian Fabrics","grobid_abstract":"The paper aims to analyze and compare the design concepts in printed fabrics between the pre-and post-2000 periods in Ghana.

Even though strip weaving is common in the North, Daboya and Yendi have unique weaving traditions with regards to the origin, types of yarns or materials, tools, processes and marketing strategies hence the focus of this paper. Field research design was used to observe, participate and have face-to-face interaction with weavers, smock makers and retailers in their natural setting.

The study explores the use of textile and non-textile materials in mixed-media techniques to produce conceptual textile art, giving more importance to the idea being expressed by an artwork. The research hinges on concept based art which focuses more on the language behind the art rather than its aesthetics.

It is seen that the spongy Fe2O3 catalyst loaded with Au has an interface that can be extremely active for CO desorption and O2 activation.

Also, the incorporation of Au in low alkaline condition further enhances the interaction between Au and Fe2O3, providing more active sites.

Research Limitation/Implications: The study's limitations include small sample size, limited representation of Ghana's textile printing industry's diverse design concepts, and insufficient exploration of production processes or market dynamics. Practical Implication: Research highlights design changes in Ghanaian textiles, enabling designers to create innovative, marketable printed fabrics and manufacturers to adapt production processes. Social Implication: The textile printing industry in Ghana significantly impacts cultural identity and economic development.

Even though strip weaving is common in the North, Daboya and Yendi have unique weaving traditions with regards to the origin, types of yarns or materials, tools, processes and marketing strategies hence the focus of this paper. Field research design was used to observe, participate and have face-to-face interaction with weavers, smock makers and retailers in their natural setting.

The study explores the use of textile and non-textile materials in mixed-media techniques to produce conceptual textile art, giving more importance to the idea being expressed by an artwork. The research hinges on concept based art which focuses more on the language behind the art rather than its aesthetics.
