Description
Designer Drafting for the Entertainment World provides essential information for designers, covering traditional hand drafting techniques
as well as computer-based drawing programs. This new text begins with the basic tools and comprehensive coverage of the principles of
scenic drafting and goes on to cover professional applications for the stage, motion pictures, television, trade shows, and amusement
park scenery. It also includes a chapter on virtual scenery and lighting.
The principles of drafting are explained with simple drawings
from the world of scenery as well as many examples of more complex draftings from some of the finest scenic designers working professionally.
Patricia Woodbridge has worked professionally in theatre, film and television, and uses examples from all industries throughout the
book. Since the examples of drafting are taken from a wide variety of different scenic applications, it gives the young designer a survey
of scenic career possibilities.
