Module 2 — Effect Development
Covers dry and wet effect development on garments such as denim finishes.
What you will be able to do
Develop a denim or casual effect that matches the standard and survives wear: wet effects, enzyme, stone and bleach work, and dry processes in the right order.
The practical work
Take one approved denim standard and reverse-engineer it: which part of the look is dry process, which is enzyme or stone, which is bleach, and in what order. Build a trial plan that changes one variable at a time, and test strength as well as appearance on every trial.
Prerequisite: Read module 1 and pass its quiz first.

1. Why are dry processes usually done before the wet effects?
2. An enzyme wash gives the right colour but tear strength fails. What is the cause?
3. Why must a bleaching step be properly neutralised and rinsed?
4. In a trial programme, why change only one variable per trial?
5. A stone wash is replaced by an enzyme-only route. What must be rechecked?
