Drawing as Design Process

Drawing as a catalyst of design processes is the theme of this book. Today, the electronic production and processing of images has led to fundamental changes in design processes in all design professions, and many concepts oriented to craft criteria have lost their style-forming functions in training. This has given drawing a new significance. Drawing design work mobilizes the eye, head and hand in equal measure, and creates contexts of meaning which the designer can only experience to a limited extent on the screen. The author Peter Olpe is a graphic artist and has been teaching at the Basel School of Design for 25 years. In his courses in the field of visual communication, he deals with the basics of graphic design work. He is head of the advanced training class for graphic design. Lectures and teaching activities.
