| summary |
This paper reports on the findings of an empirical investigation into the use of the computer as the only
design media in solving a design problem. Several 1st and 2nd year students took part in a two week
experiment on the use of a CAD programme, AutoCAD 13 and AEC 5.0, to design a studio for a graphic
designer. Prior to the experiment an extensive literature search was carried out to explore the relationship between
the design process, visual thinking, conventional sketching (interactive imagery) and Computer Aided
Design. Out of this search a number of design variables were identified, developed and then tested
through a series of observations and interviews with the students while they were engaged in the design
of the Graphic Designer’s Studio. Questionnaires were also administered to students to explore their
views on issues including, using CAD instead of conventional tools, design areas where CAD is most
effective, and how CAD can improve design skills. |
