Drawing for
Designers: Drawing Skills, Concept Sketches, Computer Systems,
Illustration, Tools and Materials, Presentations, Production Techniques
(Paperback)
There is a dearth of books covering drawing and product design.
"Drawing for Designers" fills this gap, offering a comprehensive guide
to drawing for product/industrial designers and students. As well as
industrial product design, the book encompasses automotive design and
the design of other 3D artefacts such as jewellery and furniture.
Covering both manual and computer drawing methods, the book follows the
design process: from initial concept sketches; through presentation
drawings and visualizations; general arrangement and detail drafting;
to fully dimensioned production drawings; and beyond to technical
illustrations and exploded/assembly diagrams used for publicity and
instructing the end user in the product's assembly, operation and
maintenance. Interspersed with the chapters there are Case Study
spreads featuring famous designer products shown both as drawn concepts
and as finished objects. There are also several how-to-do-it
Step-by-Step sequences.
