Handbook

Industrial Design Communication is a practical introduction into methods of communicating as an industrial designer. The topics covered will include engineering and perspective drawing, concept sketching and rendering, as well as crafting physical and digital models. Collectively, these will introduce students to a range of methods useful for exploring, defining and communicating function, form and appearance as typical to product design.

Beyond helping students develop the skills required to communicate their design ideas effectively, the course will guide student discovery of how each of those skills fits into, and be used to bring value to, iterative design processes more broadly.

The course will take a ‘sketch modelling’ approach. That is, an emphasis on tools that support the rapid development of ideas. There will be a substantial 'hands on’ making component, complimented by student sharing and reflection of learning experiences through a class blog
