5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, October 5, 2001

This review is from: Interior Design Visual Presentation: A Guide to Graphics, Models, and Presentation Techniques (Paperback)

This book has a bit of everything I was looking for. techniques, lots of color renderings to review, shadowing techniques, etc. I am currently an interior design student and am using the book to help me with my color rendering and presentation techniques. In fact, my instructor reviewed the book and has requested the book be the textbook for the presentations class in our department next semester. This is the best book I've located so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC ! Illustrations, Instructions, Explanations, Color, November 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Interior Design Visual Presentation: A Guide to Graphics, Models, and Presentation Techniques (Paperback)

This book has all the needs and requirements on visual presentations and how to resolve fears,concerns, doubts and so on. It's the first book I have seen that covers many if not all aspects of Interior Design. It's a great book and I have been recommending it to all my fellow students. This book is informative, educational, and a good book to have in your reference library. I have been looking and looking for a book like this one for many years. Someone has finally gone and done it properly. You will not regreat buying this book.
