DESIGN SKETCHING IN THEORY AND PRACTICE

Sketching | Drawing techniques for product designers 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.
book techniek

It serves as a reference guide, aimed at design students and designers. It has been translated into different languages. In this book the large amount of images and sketches tells the story. We combined educational drawings, both on paper and digital sketches, photos and realistic Designer Showcases, to show the various drawing aspects, tips and theory behind them. It also visualizes the position and use of freehand Sketching in Product Design.
"Sketching | drawing techniques for product designers" was first published in 2007. Within a short time it has become a much used book by students all over the world as an extension to their own drawing education. It has also become a plea for the necessity of (learning to) draw for designers, and showed a variety of examples of sketching in the design process.
Contains design showcases of leading Dutch designers. From small independent studio's to internationally leading businesses.

Reviews

  • "..and I see quite a few. Colorful, sophisticated, cutting edge. Each section features professional sketch projects. The premise is right on that idea sketch off the wrist is still very important in the design process. Well worth the money if you can find it.."
    Best book on the subject that I have seen in a long time...
    Robert J. Hunt, (Designer, Illustrator, Colllege Art Instructor), Los Angeles
  • "..Okay, I've been designing for a long time but wanted to remind myself how I should be presenting my ideas to clients after a long time managing the process rather than doing the creative bit. This book doesn't dissappoint, as the other reviewers commented, it's full of inspiration to those progressing towards a career in design or those slightly longer in the tooth practiioners like me. An excellent buy for students and professionals alike it'll whet your appetite and set you off trying new stuff for yourself or push you to lift the bar. Regardless of new whizz bang computer based tools, in my experience it still all starts with a sketch and this book will show you some excellent methods of presenting your ideas.."
    Well worth the money. Excellent Source Book

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.."
