Description:

Course builds on Product Design: Drawing I by introducing students to vector-and raster-based approaches to rendering concepts. In the product development cycle, sketching comes first, followed by physical form models or rendered concepts to add a level of realism and greater comprehension of an idea. This process formerly done with markers and other media is now largely accomplished digitally. The student is introduced to a number of digital strategies to take a sketched concept and develop it into a fully realized rendered image using vector-and raster-based software. Students learn the fundamentals about lighting as they pertain to a full array of product surfaces ranging from wood and metal to plastic, ceramic, and rubber. This is a technical studio with an emphasis on learning the necessary skills to create professional quality product renderings. Software includes Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. 3 CREDITS
