Comprehensive guide covering all aspects of visual design, including planning, layout, and presentation.
Interior Design Visual Presentation comprehensively addresses the visual design and presentation skills of the interior designer, featuring thorough, process-oriented coverage on the planning, layout, and the design of interior building spaces and guiding readers through techniques for executing creative and successful design graphics, models, and presentations. Color illustrations throughout the text feature a wide array of residential, institutional, and commercial settings designed to highlight step-by-step instructions.
This newly updated and revised Sixth Edition includes a new overview of the design process for commercial design for students at all levels. Other revisions include new discussion of the impact of digital communication, examples of rendering materials in color, review of the latest tools for digital rendering, additional detail on creating hand drawings, and advanced technologies for physical model making, along with updated 3D modeling tutorials on Sketchup, Revit, Photoshop, and discussion of building information management (BIM) related to design intent and hand and digital rendering.
Interior Design Visual Presentation includes information on: - The design process and related graphics, covering diagrams and programming analysis graphics, programming matrices, schematic design, and design development- Paraline and perspective drawings, and sketching interior environments using photographs and perspective grid charts- Materials, media, and tools involved in rendering by hand and constructing physical and digital scale models- Organization and composition guidelines when constructing boards, physical presentations, and digital presentations- Graphic design components, public speaking, and design communication when making a complete presentation
Covering all aspects of visual design and presentation that interior designers need to know, Interior Design Visual Presentation is a highly accessible and valuable resource for students and professors in primarily first- and second-year courses in interior design degree programs, along with professional interior designers studying for the NCIDQ exam.
