The consideration of people, encompasses connection to a place, that the context is designed for, and keeping the possible users of the potential design outcome in mind throughout the design process, to meet their needs or improve their lives.
Visual communication techniques are the visual communication skills and literacy required to convey design thinking, and design narratives for a product or spatial design outcome. Examples include:
• physical models (such as hand built, 3D printed, laser cut)
• manual or digital rendered models (such as CAD packages)
• animations (such as flythroughs)
• bubble diagrams, floor plans for spatial design
• 2D and 3D sketches and drawings
• section views, cross-sections, and elevations
• tracing, photomontage
• rapid visualisation
• drawing systems (isometric, oblique, planometric, orthographic, architectural, and perspective, etc).
