INTD 1106 Visual communications

This foundational course introduces interior design students to the essential skills and techniques required for effective visual communication in the design field. Emphasizing traditional and digital methods, students will learn to create compelling design presentation drawings that convey their ideas. The course fosters the development of graphic vocabulary and proficiency in one-point and two-point perspective drafting, as well as freehand sketching. Through hands-on practice, students will explore a variety of media and technologies, including introductory 3D modeling with SketchUp, to illustrate and translate their conceptual designs. By the end of the course, students will be adept at rapidly sketching ideas, crafting polished compositions, and delivering presentations that merge technical skills with artistic expression.
