INTERIOR AND FASHION DESIGN Unit 3: Lab 1

1. Color Wheel- $7.99

I selected this model since it is a pack of 2 and it is also double laminated and

water/moisture resistant, so it won’t get spoiled in case of water contact. With this tool I

will be able to see which colors are complementary and which colors match (or don't

match). It will help me understand the basic theory of color and show me color mixing

references.
2. Sketchbook- $12.24

I chose this model because I prefer using Strathmore sketchbooks as they are great for a

variety of different mediums. It is also a 400 series, meaning it's good for advanced artists

and is also always wirebound. I will use this to sketch any ideas I may have and use any

measuring tools like a protractor to help create accurate measurements and designs.

3. Micron Ink Pens- $17.99

I chose this model because I prefer this brand of micron pens since they last longer and

don’t dry out as quickly. I will use these pens for sketching any floorplans or pieces of

furniture I’d like, as they come in many different thicknesses. The ink is also waterproof,

chemical resistant, fade resistant, bleed free, quick drying, and ph neutral.
4. Colored Pencils- $88.98 (originally $238.81)

Colored pencils are my personal favorite medium to work with, as they come in many

colors, and this specific brand is my go-to, as they are soft-cored, meaning they are easy

to blend, and have high color payoff. This specific brand is also more affordable than

others (like Faber-Castell or Caran D’Ache, which I would like to try, however, the Caran

D’Ache ones, for example, go up to $500 a box, as they are handmade etc., so they are

quite a bit of an investment) and comes in many different colors, shades, and hues.

5. White Gel Pens- $10.99

This set was chosen since it is such a large set. White gel pens are essential to add

highlights to drawings and sketches and they also flow very smoothly. They are what

bring life to said drawings. They are great for use on toned paper as well.
