BRISTOL

This is just a simple sample board done for a retail development. It might be simple for us but for someone who not really from an architectural background it needs a short courses to do it! It will cost you 120 pound! That's what I found in this KLC Studio. http://www.klc.co.uk/Part-Time/1DSampleBoards/?m=4

"The Sample Board is probably the most important presentation board in a designer’s portfolio, nothing gives a client as good an idea of a proposed scheme than a board with the actual materials mounted showing them in the right proportions to each other. The Furniture Board is an extension of the Sample Board and will give a graphic interpretation of the style achieved by the mix of furniture and accessories. This day will demonstrate how to cut and mount Sample and Furniture Boards to a high standard. The course will include different styles of board, and techniques to achieve a successful arrangement and balance will be explored. A practical session to enable you to mount up your own board will complete the day."

• Cutting and mounting
• Board layout
• Arrangements with grids
• Keys, labelling and titles
• Borders

Lucky for the rest of us who spent 5-6 years in architectural school which includes the skills accordingly.
