Guide to CEED exam subjective (Part B)


Find the links relevant to CEED Part B (subjective) including helpful links and videos related to sketching

A. Sketching and Perception drawing Skills


Sketching is the most important part of your CEED exam. Drawing is a mode of communicating your ideas in a paper (visually).

  • A very good sketching views of drawings and general things and drawing techniques can be found in the book by David Lewis - here
  • Superb book for learning sketching techniques and different facets of design (including perspective, shadowing, shading, texture, architectural facts etc) - Design drawing by Francis D.K.Ching
  • A very famous complete pdf book "Basic Rendering" from Robert W.Gill, which covers most of the rendering topics including perspective projections (for starters having time) 
  • A book about basis of drawing instruments, holding positions, perspective, quality of lines and shading techniques for beginners by freebies4u.net - here
  • My favorite book on Perspective drawing; A complete beginner guide, handbook by Joseph D'Amelio - here
  • A very good website giving step-by-step guide for beginners from howtodraw - here

Here is my complete guide on - How to learn to sketch and what strategies to follow to improve drawing skills in CEED exam

My tips about making exploded views: Tips for Exploded view drawing

Youtube videos to help with size, proportion and human sketching


B. User Interface Design (UID) guide


UI Designs are a form of Visual communication or I can say it's more or less related to Interaction Design (IXD) and CEED started asking similar questions recently. The fact is UID questions are easy to attempt and they consume lesS time as compared to other design questions like Product design, storyboard framing or even comic strips. The only thing you must consider is to know about how to come up with a good design and the basic principles involved in UID. 

I had given all the details - fundamental principles, standard rules, mobile UID features as well as what could be done (some thumb rules) in attempting such questions in CEED exam here - Fundamental principles and rules in User Interface Designs

C. Comic Strips


Japanese usually call comic strips as manga. CS are a very good/creative form of communicating a story or idea in pictorial forms, usually with comments (also called callout). Let's check the related pages for comic strip improvement
  • A very good guide for comic strip by Peter Dawes in PDF -here
  • Steps for creating comic strip by courtsed web in PDF - here
  • Wikihow gave the general procedure - here
  • Basic concepts from readwritethink web - here
  • YouTube video by mrjert

A very good website with complete detail about storyboard - here

D. Storyboard and Poster making


Discussion on Storyboard and Poster making is a lengthy process and so I grouped that in a separate page. Please go through that and check the links provided for tips and guidelines.

E. Theory on Design thinking and Creativity Studies


Like I said in my other blog pages - sketching is just a tool to represent your ideas. In other words, it's just a mode of communicating your ideas. What matters first is your creativity. You better focus on ways of developing your creativity and design thinking skills.

Here is my posts (just theory - just walk through it very quickly) giving in-depth ideas on "how to improve your creativity and lateral thinking" 

You may also go through the following links to learn more about Creativity
