If you’ve got a design concept you want to share, you need to know how to get it ready for presenting to the real world. Industrial designer Reid Schlegel works with 2D and 3D to create clear visualizations and models that explain and sell his ideas. Reid is a process drawing and digital presentation professor, and associate design director at global design agency Aruliden. He believes his mission is to improve the human experience through design.
In this course, Reid teaches you his 5D ideation process; creating a 3D prototype paired with a digital render, ready to present to clients. See how to use different materials to build a model, and how to draw a realistic concept drawing that successfully and efficiently illustrates your complex ideas.
Description
Meet industrial designer Reid Schlegel as he discusses the driving forces behind his work and the inspiring designers, artists, and creatives that have helped shape him in his career.
Explore your materials as Reid walks you through the purposes of each and his must-haves, along with the digital tools he uses to create realistic drawings. Then discover Reid’s tried and tested design process, from research to rendering.
Time to build your 3D prototype. Reid guides you through each step, starting with breaking down the design of objects into simple faces. Form the initial structure of your design with cardboard, glue, and tape. Then learn about using different types of foam before seeing how to sculpt them. Reid also explains methods for combining found objects with existing prototypes.
Using imported photos of your prototype, Reid goes through page composition of your digital sketch and what a final concept sketch needs to look like. He then teaches you how to apply linework to your photo underlay as a foundation for color, material, and finish. End the course by adding realism to your design, making improvements, and adding finer details.
