Developed for today's student, the books present material in a contemporary and graphic manner and are compact and highly portable. The series includes: Design Basics, Drafting Basics, 3D Design Basics, and Presentation Basics.Drafting Basics offers an introduction to the art of hand drafting using lead and ink. Students will first learn how to communicate through fundamental two-dimensional drawings including lettering, plans, elevations, and sections. The book then covers the basics of technical drafting, reinforcing the importance of the hand skills required of interior design professionals at every point along the career path.

Presentation Basics helps students hone both of the critical aspects of successful presentation—visual and verbal skills. Writing from the viewpoint that an effective presentation requires much more than adept graphic representation, Fullmer helps students strengthen their verbal skills to sell their ideas. The book also takes an essential look at business etiquette and body language, stressing the impact of these factors on a presentation.
