Book Description

1 Oct 2007

Sketching is an incredibly broad and practical survey of sketching techniques for product designers. It goes without saying that the book is suited for the classroom, but every design studio will also find this manual an asset, because in spite of the ascendancy of the computer, hand-drawn sketches are still a very much used.

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as you're hoping it will be! 6 Sep 2008
Format:Hardcover
If you're a product designer, and are looking for an inspirational book on cool concept sketches, this book is exactly what you're hoping it will be, chock full of the slick kind of sketches we all like to do.

What this book is NOT, is a step by step guide on creating them, it's more a source book for people who can already sketch like this, and in that, it does the job very well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring! 28 Jan 2009
Format:Hardcover
I am an Industrial Design student who bought this book upon recommendation by a lecturer. This book will be a cause of envy and a fantastic source of inspiration throughout my degree (and most likely into my career).

If you're a design student looking to improve your design communication you can't go far wrong with this book. However, don't expect step-by-step tutorials as this book is more a treasure trove of inspiration and an opportunity to observe some great sketching and presentation techniques.

Format:Hardcover
This is a great book. 250 full colour glossy pages of great sketching. Some explanations of how to create fantastic renderings. I have been a proffesional product designer for over 15 years and i feel inspired to raise my game after getting this book. It should be essential reading for any dersign student. A bit pricey at £30, but i found it excellent value for money.
