Product Description
How to choose and use design media-a complete, practical primer
Mastery of a full range of design media is essential for architects, designers, and graphic artists in order to develop and communicate their ideas effectively. Instead of focusing solely on finished drawings, this book approaches each medium from the perspective of its use in the design process itself. Featuring step-by-step methods liberally supplemented with visual examples, it provides detailed coverage of the tools and techniques for each of the four major rendering media-pen and ink, pastels, colored marker, and watercolor. Design Media is filled with ideas to help bring out the best in drawing and rendering-from developing sound skills and improving presentations to achieving particular effects.
* Covers methods, materials, and equipment
* Contains 280 illustrations-including 200 in color-showing examples of all media types

a rating in progress:not sure yet- but why am i not excited August 31, 2001
6 out of 10 found this review helpful
I am not sure yet and want to give the book a more
serious look. Perhaps my mistake was to buy this
book at the same time i acquired Composite Drawing by
Uddin and Color Drawing by Doyle. The drawings and format
of these books instantly became well worn reference texts
for myself and students. I chose the Kasprisin book because
it presented a medium missing from the other books: watercolor techniques. I will give the prose a serious trial and i hope the book eventually proves to be a good resource too.
However, what bothers me is the book is sitting on my shelf and i am struck by the following realization: when it comes to a technique book, if i am not personally inspired by the sample drawings or paintings i am probably not going to be motivated to try to emulate the techniques. Please acknowledge this may be too shallow of a reaction and you may well find the book meets your needs.
