Industrial Design course teaches the art of perfection

In design visualization, what we're practicing is communicating our ideas to another audience. We start off with an isometric drawing that helps our students be precise. It helps them be clean with their work and get into a practice, a ritual, if you will, when it comes to drawing. And then by the end of the semester, the students are freehand drawing some really amazing concepts. They're starting to render them in marker and pencil. It's one of the things that defines an industrial designer. It's one of the basic parts of our tradition and our training. They say the pen is mightier than the sword, and I truly believe that, because it can be the foundation to create more things. It can help you ideate. It can help you get your point across. It can help you convey emotion. I want to help people get their thoughts out much easier. When we're expressing to another person who may not be accustomed to seeing these types of drawings, you're relaying information to them, and it needs to be clear. So by being very rigid at the beginning, they are getting the muscle memory and the thought, the intention behind the drawing, to communicate their ideas clearly. It forces you to sharpen skills that you might have had previously, but you never really tested and pushed to their absolute limits, and it also forces you to answer the question of just how much are you willing to spend to achieve perfection. I am passionate about the skills that it's teaching me, and so I try every time with this class to give like basically, at least in terms of mentally, my 100%. Having this skill and having this ability to quickly and accurately show off my designs and show off what's in my head will be extremely beneficial for when I'm in the industry. If I can show a student how to do that easily, it doesn't come easy to begin with, but once Once they figure out how easy that actually was, a light bulb goes off.
