Fashion & Interior Design

For beginning/intermediate-level Basic Design Drawing courses in Interior Design, Architecture, and other related programs.

This unique primer fills a gap in the market of available hand-drawing texts by combining–in a single volume–simple techniques and skills related to sketching, design-development, and the schematic or preliminary phase of design presentation. Emphasizing drawing as a mental as well as physical exercise, students can put designs on paper faster and easier, and the text shows them how visual communication with clients can provide better, more economical design solutions. Practical, straightforward, and reader-friendly, Design Graphics provides more complete coverage of the basics, making concepts and techniques accessible to students with highly diversified educational and technical backgrounds.

Hand-drawing as a design skill.

~Introduces students to the most critical areas related to the designer's ability to design and communicate.

~Helps students meet different design situations–conceptual doodle, image, composition studies, and client-oriented final level drawings.

“Overlay” method.

~Shows students how to develop and refine drawings for client review and approval.

Monochromatic (black and white) visuals and illustrations throughout–Introduces basic drawing and concepts in the traditional way.

~Gives students a simple, yet thorough grounding in the basics, which can easily be applied in subsequent studies of color.
