Seminars

The presenters’ book, Color, Space, and Style, was developed as a handbook for interior designers. During its production, the authors discovered the need for presenting information to a variety of readers – from those familiar with interior design to those just starting out. Using the book as a launch point, they will discuss and analyze how information is designed and presented, focusing on ways to graphically organize proposals, presentations and construction drawings to increase their legibility for targeted audiences. Additionally, they will touch on the most recent developments in rendering, 3-D modeling and the production of images to support the design process.
