About the Book:

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.

What they say:

"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
