Description
Book SynopsisA newly updated and comprehensive guide to all aspects of visual design
From doing a quick sketch to producing a fully rendered model, the ability to create visual representations of designs is a critical skill for every designer.Interior Design Visual Presentation, Fifth Editionoffers thorough coverage of interior design communication used throughout the design process, complete with a broad range of real-world examples.
This fully updated handbook presents a full range of styles and techniques used for interior design visual communication, from hand drawing to 3D computer modeling. Its accessible, how-to approach guides you through a variety of methods for executing creative and successful design graphics, models, and presentations. Recognizing the ongoing proliferation of digital tools for visual representation, this edition provides the latest information on software used in presentation such as Photoshop, and SketchUp, and covers the integration of R
