Abstract | ||||
Red Sea is one of the most fascinating areas in the world. Egypt’s Red Sea has abundant tourism infrastructure, which attracts tourists from around the world. A rare coral reef and kinds of multi-colored elements underwater is a testament to the work of Mother Nature that could not be replicated by mankind. The main aim of this work is to innovate new modern designs for fabric printing of touristic products, by selecting the artistic elements of the marine nature and cultural life in the Red Sea, then creating textile designs inspired from them. The researcher used the analytical descriptive method in explaining cultural and natural features of the Red Sea to identify their characteristics and come up with innovative designs using computer programs, analyze the design and evaluate the degree of agreement on each design | ||||
