ID 516 Digital Communications for Interior Design

The course is designed to reinforce graphic and presentation technical skills introduced in sketching, rendering and computer-aided drafting courses. Students will continue to develop their proficiency in communicating with both freehand sketching/drafting skills, as well as, further develop their computer-aided skills. Using digital technology software, students will integrate freehand drawings with computer rendering skills, and enhance three-dimensional modeled images through the use of illustration, image enhancement and graphic layout software. The course will teach various methods to complete enriched, visually stimulating 2-D and 3-D rendered images to successfully communicate and present their final design solutions. Graduate students will engage in design research that examines the theories and practices in visual communication to develop a personal style for the presentation of design solutions.
