Maximizing reader insights into interior design as a conceptual way of thinking; which is about ideas and how they are formulated. The major themes of this book are the seven concepts of planning; circulation; 3D; construction; materials; colour and lighting; which covers the entire spectrum of a designer’s activity. Analysing design concepts from the view of the range of possibilities that the designer can examine and eventually decide by choice and conclusive belief the appropriate course of action to take in forming that particular concept; the formation and implementation of these concepts is taken in this book to aid the designer in his/her professional task of completing a design proposal to the client. The purpose of this book is to prepare designers to focus on each concept independently as much as possible; whilst acknowledging relative connections without unwarranted influences unfairly dictating a conceptual bias; and is about that part of the design process called conceptual analysis. It is assumed that the site; location; building and orientation; as well as the client’s brief of activities and needs have been digested and analysed to provide the data upon which the design process can begin. Designed as a highly visual illustrative book; as the interior design medium demands; the hands-on creative process of designing is detailed with original drawn illustrations. Concentrating on the conceptual process of designing interiors; and defining what these concepts are; this book will help the designer to organise his/her process of designing and to sharpen the links between the various skill bases necessary to do the job. This book will be stimulating for students and instructors alike and is aimed at any student who maybe majoring in interior design; interior architecture; architecture; design thinking or furniture design. It could also be a useful reference for students of design management and design leadership.

Michael includes a plethora of mystical creatures from the genre; although the ones he leaves out are surprising (mermaids; anyone?). He instructs beginning artists in the vital skill of using three-dimensional forms to block out the body of the subject. However; if you already have knowledge of shading and basic construction; you might want to avoid this book: its focus is too general for those who want to specialize in more complex poses and it lacks anatomical references. Simply put; as an artist looking for books related specifically to dragons; I was rather disappointed; but as an art teacher; I would give my middle school students this book to extend their drawing skills and kindle a passion for fantasy art.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. since I love dragons. I looked at every pageBy E.DI did a one-time babysitting job and the 9 year old showed me this book so I had to get it; since I love dragons. I looked at every page; but I havent tried drawing yet. I will. If you like mythical creatures and you like drawing them; this is one of the books for you.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Can I give it 10m Stars?.. -The BEST book ever!!!By SchmetterlingI am so glad I bought this book today. Its exactly what I expected and even more. There is instructions step by step how to draw some Beautiful Dragon (with explainations about every Dragons name and its meaning in the mythology and so.. Very Interesting..)Beside; There is other Creatures that this authour is teaching you how to draw.This book is good for Beginners but its better if you have a little bit drawing skills. If you have 0% skills it may be a little bit difficult for you.Anyway; So far this is the BEST book I bought this Year and I lo0o0o0ove it!!! I am so happy I did the right choice buying this book. It teaches you the basics (Very detailed) and you can move on from there. You can do a little changes here and there and change the design of each Creature. I recommend this book to everybody. 10 thumbs up!!!
