The ability to draw and understand its effect are among the fundamental skills of a designer. The sketchy representation of an object and the precise representation of geometric facts, surfaces and colors represent the main tool in the early phases of idea and concept creation. Only those who are able to present ideas and drafts communicatively can develop a design convincingly. Representations must be understood not only by the designer but by all communication partners.

Basics of technical representations and illustrations, representation techniques (pen, crayons, markers, colored surfaces, layout paper/"toned tan" paper), freehand drawings, creation of sketches, representations of technical products, and experimental procedures in the representation.

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

• Work practical

 is done continuously throughout the semester

The practical work sample includes a portfolio of 10 work results and is prepared over the course of the entire semester.

Prior knowledge is not required.

The students acquire in-depth knowledge of two-dimensional display techniques. They are able to implement ideas, concepts, and geometries correctly and illustratively.

The focus is on concrete representational illustrations, the use of color, and the use of modulations (light and shadow), and experimenting with other representation techniques.

The students have the ability to use different tools of two-dimensional representation effectively and to relate them to the laws of form and perception.

The students who have successfully studied this module use various illustrative and descriptive forms of communication effectively, both in known and unfamiliar contexts.

Graduates can apply what they have learned to professional activities (interdisciplinary field of activity) and work out solutions to problems using a wide variety of 2D representations. In doing so, they not only inspire non-specialists and pass on their knowledge, but are inspired themselves and thus develop stylistically.

Graduates can apply their knowledge and understanding to activities and/or jobs and work out or further develop solutions to problems in their specialist area.

When working in interdisciplinary cooperations, with other subject representatives as well as non-specialists, the students can responsibly illustrate, communicate and solve tasks.

 
They have the ability of communicative illustration for industrial design and interdisciplinary teams. They can use quick sketches as well as more complex representations as tools.

The students can also justify the social and cultural relevance of graphic representations beyond their own graphic style.

At work, the students can independently assess and decide which presentation technique is to be used in each case. They are constantly evolving. Professionalization takes place through constant contextualization of their work and its critical questioning/evaluation.

This basic module forms an essential, presentation-related knowledge base for the modules with a design background in the entire curriculum of the Industrial Product Design study program.
