Introduction to Three-Dimensional Design : Principles, Processes, and Projects

Introduction to Three-Dimensional Design : Principles, Processes, and Projects - Hudson, New York Princeton Architectural Press 2020 - 168
Typing on a keyboard or moving a mouse or a stylus are the only tactile sensations many designers experience in today’s digital world. Introduction to Three-Dimensional Design upends this trend by providing design and art students with an essential body of knowledge: how to communicate the principles of three-dimensional design and art with intent and meaning through drawing and models.
Each of the four projects explored in the book-resulting from a series of educational problem-solving experiments-is carefully crafted to focus on key concepts of scale, proportion, balance, rhythm,emphasis and harmony. The Mask Design project employs contrast as a means of intensifying communication through juxtaposition; Wire Icons transforms the continuous graphic line from two to three dimensions to capture volume and space; Paper Food combines texture and color with simplified shapes in abstract three-dimensional representations of food products; and Multiplane Acrylic Birds uses clear acrylic to communicate bold and subtle differences in color via overlapping or offset planes. Each project in the book-the first of its kind geared toward design and art students-enables the designer and artist to thoroughly comprehend the elements and principles of three-dimensional design.
