Mastery of a full range of media is essential in order to develop and communicate design ideas effectively. Each of the four major media, watercolor, pen and ink, pastel and colored markers, offers a different avenue for exploring a design concept - with dramatically different results. With an emphasis on the context of design elements, Ron Kasprisin shows how to capitalize on the strengths of each medium, from the advantages of colored markers as preeminent diagramming tools to the use of pastels as a wonderful way to "paint" washes and color studies and add color accents to pen and ink drawings. He also provides step-by-step descriptions and visual examples of all drawing and painting methods; 200 color illustrations that demonstrate styles and techniques in watercolor, pastel and colored marker; 150 black-and-white illustrations that detail pen and ink styles and techniques; and in-depth discussions of the equipment, materials, and preferred applications associated with each medium. For students and professionals in architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design as well as graphic designers and fine artists, Design Media offers direct access to the technical information and techniques that make design drawings valuable and inspiring to designer and client alike.

"This new text provides an engaging and stimulating introduction to the central concepts, themes and ongoing research in educational psychology today. Education Psychology clearly and concisely presents the key ideas, but equally encourages undergraduate and postgraduate psychology students to go beyond the text to read primary sources, and to develop an awareness of the controversies, complexities, and unresolved issues in a topic area. At the heart of the text is also an emphasis on developing the skills of how to read and use journal articles and how to critically evaluate sources of information." -- Publisher's information.
