Designers almost universally conduct the development process through sketching; but note that the term sketching does not necessarily mean the creation of drawings with artistic merit. Rather, it is about the use of a sketchbook as a notebook, a place where ideas are visualised, and about the way in which sketching enables the designer to express an idea visually through the use of pen or pencil and paper. Sketching should be one of the fundamental design tools by which you can create successful design solutions. One of the most important points for the new designer to understand is this: you cannot conjure up a fully resolved and fi nished design solution in your head, and use drawing only as a means to record the fi nished product. It is the act of drawing itself that will reveal to you the extent of a design problem, and only further drawing will allow you to fi nd the best solution from amongst many possible solutions. At this stage of the process, designers draw to identify and resolve problems on the way to creating fully developed and resolved solutions. Remember that sketching is an exciting process. What unique and beautiful solutions will you be able to create to answer the practical and aesthetic needs of the project? is perspective sketch has been carefully drawn at an advanced stage of the design process, to accurately assess the design solution as it stands. Light and shade are represented to assist the three-dimensional modelling within the drawing, but the sketch is still free enough to allow for changes to be made, should be er solutions present themselves.
