After the worldwide success of their books Sketching: The Basics and Sketching: Drawing Techniques for Product Designers, the authors now shift their focus from “how to sketch” to “why you sketch.”
Design sketching serves many different goals. You can sketch to brainstorm, find or articulate ideas, or to present a project to team members, technical producers, and, of course, to clients. All these goals require different sketching techniques and presentations. This book teaches you how you can communicate through your sketches. Includes portfolios from leading international design studios.

I bought this because I was struggling to find good information online about composing sketch presentations to make compelling and communicative layouts for my portfolio. This book is brilliant, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs to present visual content. The content is excellent and the authors do a great job of explaining exactly what grabs attention and why. It is a beautifully designed book, and often references its own layouts across chapters to point out successful composition and sketch features. From gestalt principles to sketch techniques for different aspects of the product design process, this is a deep dive into communicating sketches for industrial designers.
While the visual and type content is beautiful and contains excellently defined case studies, it does have quite a few typos and type formatting mistakes that interrupt the otherwise seamless learning experience of reading this book.

I see this book is neatly edited reference book for those who have an eye on improving orientation of coloring, expanding idea exploration.
For each well done design and design layout, It would be quite helpful to add qr code strips for each crucial point that author recognize
that reader, designer, student could explore more from the pages.

Absolutely fantastic addition to my design literature library. Makes a great expansion on the original Design Sketching book by Koos Eissen, and compliments Scott Robertson’s How to Draw and How to Render.

Very few books aim at helping to produce visual presentations, and this one is excellent.
