Customer Reviews

A must for any interior designer/architectural student
If your a student within interior design or architecture this is a great resource. I used the previous edition through my student days.
It gives a brief run through on technical drawing symbols, how to draw in perspective, rendering with markers, rendering using photoshop, general presentation of boards, creating models, designer resumes + portfolio's.

The only cons; towards the back of the book black and white photo's were used which was a little disappointing, but I remember this being the same in the previous edition.

Being there is a lack of interior design presentation books out there, this would def have to be the best.

A great source of inspiration!
I bought this book as part of my Interior Design Degree 'core reading' matter and it has proved to be a very valuable source of information & inspiration. The author explains the various different techniques & materials that can be used to convey a presentation i.e. drawing scale plans, perspective drawing, quick hand drawn sketches, computer aided design, 3D model making & intricate colour rendered drawings. It is very concise, easy to read & crammed full of great illustrations. I would recommend it to anyone interested in improving their presentation skills.

A good starting point for the presentation beginer
I bought this booking whilst looking at ways of improving my own company's presentations. It covers the topic well, but I was slight disappointed as I feel its approach is slightly dated and does reflect the digital age that we are now in. However if you are an interior presentation beginner this book does cover all the bases and for that alone is worth buying.
