Reviews for Designer Drafting and Visualizing for the Entertainment World

I have been looking for a book that not only focuses on the technical aspects of theater drafting, but also on why we choose to draft the way we do and how it relates to sketchings and renderings. This book covers that ground exceptionally well. -Michael O'Nele, Univ. of Memphis Very good comprehensive view of drafting applied to all areas of the entertainment industry. -Eric Olson, Samford University Tells not only what to do, but why. The most complete book on entertainment drafting yet. -Charles E. Williams, University of Toledo most thorough and best drafting book on the market...the examples in particular are informative. an excellent reference book to be used during a course...
