Imagine: Fashion Designer
Imagine Fashion Designer puts the player in charge of a fancy fashion agency. From the main menu, you can dive right into your office, where you can collect contracts from clients, or you can practice in any of the workshops you have unlocked. The main game is played out from your office, where you'll be given a list of tasks to perform to satisfy the clients needs. The tasks range from simple clothes design to making up a model for a cover-shoot and throwing your very own fashion show. Each time you do a task you pick a model from the 4 choices they have. Sometimes they specify which model to use.
In the hairdressing workshop you can choose from a range of hair styles and colours. You can make her hair short, long, wavy, straight, and curly. Remember to make sure to read what hair style the clients are looking for before doing whatever.
The jewelery workshop is more fun. Here you can create necklaces from various shapes and colours that are offered to you by the game. There's plenty of different combinations to try and anything you create is saved to your fashion collection.
The fashion design workshop is where you actually design clothes. You start from a basic pattern for various tops, t-shirts, skirts, jackets and trousers (or pants if you're American). From the basic pattern you can trim and change the length of the clothing by swiping across with your stylus. In practice this seemed a lot more fiddly than it needed to be. Although the lines where you can cut are clearly marked, rubbing the stylus across them doesn't always seem to trim off the section of clothing that you want it to. A shame because the design workshop is quite good fun to use otherwise and designing clothes is a vital part of playing Imagine Fashion Designer. Once you are done chopping and changing, you can apply patterns and colours and then save to your collection.
In the dressing workshop you can take any of your models and dress them up in the clothes you have designed or unlocked by playing the main game. Clothes are categorized well and browsing through your vast fashion collection with the stylus is a breeze.
In the beauty workshop you can apply make-up to your model. We're reliably informed that this is something little girls enjoy doing a great deal and we would have liked to see a little more flexibility in what you could do here. Although you can change lipstick colours and eye shadow colours and choose from a range of blushers and face paints, the game stops short of letting you apply make-up directly with your stylus, which seems like a bit of a missed opportunity.
Next up is the photo workshop which, as you may have guessed, lets you take photos of your models in any of your clothes or make-up designs. You can pick out a background and choose from different types of lens (wide lenses for whole body shots, smaller lenses for portraits). Occasionally I failed a photo task for not getting the whole model in shot, when I was sure I did, but these were the exceptions rather than the rule and on the whole the photography section works well.
Finally there are the fashion shows, where you get to walk your models down the catwalk sporting your cutting edge designs. These are presented as a kind of rhythm action game. First you tap the feet icons as indicated, to show the model how to step. Then you must tap the star shaped icons in time to the music. Once you reach the end of the catwalk, you need to strike a pose. A pose icon is displayed briefly, then hidden in amongst half a dozen or more other pose icons. You must pick out the correct icon quickly so that your model poses elegantly. Occasionally your instructed to copy some stylus tracings instead, this proved to be rather more tricky
When you done all the tasks you can unlock new clothes and style tips. No score or achievement points are given. But it doesn't make the game any less fun.
