Examples of all participants work - over 60 exhibitors - are included in this examination of the importance of drawing as a process. The aim of the conference, book, CDRom and associated events was to investigate and discuss the use of drawing in the design process as employed by practitioners across a broad range of disciplines, from concept and through development of the idea to the finished piece by the designer-artist .
A wide range of approaches, both practical and theoretical and their varied contexts within the field of drawing are re-examined and in many cases introduced as totally new. All contributors are practicing designer-artists and all are in empathy with the ethos of interdisciplinary thinking and investigation as part of their profession.
