Review and Assess
- The ability to graphically communicate ideas clearly, quickly, and with impact is the most important and often most difficult skill for interior design students to learn.
- Four basic visual communication techniques include sketching, drafting, rendering, and modeling.
- Learning to draw by hand well helps you to understand depth, proportion, and scale, resulting in better work with drawing and rendering software.
- Digital tools include hardware--such as a computer, tablet, or peripherals--software, and cloud computing.
- Types of drawings designers use in various phases of the design process include ideation, presentation, and construction.
- Sketching and freehand sketching are tools designers use throughout the design process.
- Three types of drawing systems include orthographic, paraline, and perspective.
- Interior designers use perspective drawings to give clients and team members a more realistic view of an interior space.
- Construction documents consist of contracts, working drawings, and specifications requirements for design projects.
- Designers sequentially label and number the pages of a set of construction drawings using a standard language called architectural drawing conventions.
- A set of construction drawings includes a title block on each page and follows specific lettering and drafting standards.
- Digitally creating construction drawings allows the designer to work more quickly and efficiently.
- Rendering brings a drawing to life--adding a three-dimensional human quality to a two-dimensional image.
- Models allow interior designers and clients to study the volume of a space.
- Rendered digital models offer lifelike simulations of a space, giving the clients maximum understanding.
- Building information modeling (BIM) is a process that interfaces with certain software to help the design team and client evaluate all aspects of a project from design through construction and lifespan of the structure.
