Course Objectives

Practicing rapid visualization of products with accurate deconstruction and construction, drawing from imagination, application of 3D form generation techniques and intuitive drawing to develop product form alternatives, studying how to draw human figures in different postures, and storyboarding to communicate user-product interactions in context.


Course Content

Development of students’ skills to produce hand sketches that are precise enough to communicate the design solutions accurately, yet quick and rough enough to enable progressive idea development. Application of different approaches to deconstruction and construction of compound shapes and forms. Practicing product form alterations and drawing from imagination. Drawing human figures, postures, and gestures to develop quick representations of user-product interactions. Design presentation through storyboards.


Course Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, students will be able to:

  • produce quick product sketches from imagination during different phases of idea development
  • generate product form alternatives by freehand drawing
  • present products in context and communicate human-product interactions in a scenario through storyboards.
