This CD-ROM and workbook package helps students and professionals pursuing a career in Interior Design improve their impromptu sketching skills when working face-to-face with clients. The CD-ROM contains timed exercises that increase in difficulty as the student progresses through the course. The students must complete and reflect on how they might improve each of their sketches and sketching times in order to move on to the next exercise. The students will have the option to repeat these exercises as many times as they need in order to feel comfortable with the sketches they have produced and the time taken to complete them. This spiral-bound workbook containing special paper serves as the students' sketchbook. View
