Education matters

Scott looks back on his extensive portfolio of educational design books and DVDs One highlight from Scott’s varied career is his work in education, and the books he’s helped create for his art and design publishing company, Design Studio Press. “In 2002 there weren’t many ways for aspiring concept designers to learn about our trade, other than the occasional ‘art of’ book,” he explains. “I’ve always found the concept design process to be very interesting and wanted to create products to share this with others. Books have been a great way to do this.”

Since then, Design Studio Press has published over 80 titles, and collaborated with The Gnomon Workshop to create a highly popular library of how-to DVDs covering the fundamentals of perspective drawing and rendering. “These subjects aren’t taught to a high level at very many schools around the world,” Scott says, “but students understand the value of this content, hence the popularity.”
