About the book
Mastery of a full range of media is essential in order to develop and communicate design ideas effectively. Each of the four major media, watercolor, pen and ink, pastel and colored markers, offers a different avenue for exploring a design concept - with dramatically different results. With an emphasis on the context of design elements, Ron Kasprisin shows how to capitalize on the strengths of each medium, from the advantages of colored markers as preeminent diagramming tools to the use of pastels as a wonderful way to "paint" washes and color studies and add color accents to pen and ink drawings. He also provides step-by-step descriptions and visual examples of all drawing and painting methods; 200 color illustrations that demonstrate styles and techniques in watercolor, pastel and colored marker; 150 black-and-white illustrations that detail pen and ink styles and techniques; and in-depth discussions of the equipment, materials, and preferred applications associated with each medium. For students and professionals in architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design as well as graphic designers and fine artists, Design Media offers direct access to the technical information and techniques that make design drawings valuable and inspiring to designer and client alike.
