Real world design isn’t always pretty visuals and final presentations. Design development is vital to a project progressing at pace, to the brief, compliant to regs and on budget. Redlining plans, details is part of design. Highlighting revisions, design changes clearly in a technical pack in real world practise. This demonstrates changes to a client, contractor, work colleagues, building control etc etc. I have yet to see in a student portfolio, in the development stage of a project pack, red lined drawings, either by hand or as a revision to demonstrate a projects development and changes. Earlier this week I gave a lecture on just this…How to do it, why you do it and the industry standards and approaches. Not only that, you can revisit an old project and critique it to show design development updates and yr progression as a designer.Why demonstrate this? Its another great example of how to show in your folio you are more than just a student/graduate……You have the mindset of an industry proffessional demonstrating real world practises and ready to work on a live project straight away!!!Want to get ahead of the crowd? Show real world approaches to your projects! Is your university teaching you this? If not ask them why not….
