　　 Collection sketch book

1. From content to layout, sketch reflects students' comprehensive design ability

It can be seen from the sketch that students have strong design ability. Every line in the drawing, every stroke of watercolor, and even the use of background materials are carefully designed; In terms of composition of the collection of works, special attention has been paid to the placement of elements between different positions, the sense of visual balance, the comprehensive richness of elements, etc., giving the impression that there are many but not miscellaneous elements.

What role does collage play in the collection?

In the whole collection process of sketchbook typesetting, students need to record the extension and diffusion process of initial inspiration in full detail, and calculate the next stages and steps according to rigorous design logic. Only such sketchbook can fully show the admissions officer a clear design process and overall thinking.
