Drawing, meaning and expression in the process of design

Abstract

As opposed to heartfelt but senseless opinions regarding its functionality, drawing currently proves to be active and efficient, functional and expressive. Drawing is self-taught; it generates diverse proposals that enrich the graphic research in the creative process of a design project. On the other hand, it possesses an evident and unquestionable capacity to communicate; its lines are associated to a certain iconography suitably acknowledged within the field of design. In addition, drawing dynamically expresses, defines and interprets the intention of the project, resorting with confidence and skill to any of the different graphic phases of its own internal path: notes, sketches, schemes, etc. In any case, drawing represents our own expressive identity: “it is us graphically expressed”.
