Introduction

It’s essential for every designer to have a toolbox of resources that he/

she uses to create exceptional products. Having the right tools handyallows a designer to concentrate on the project at hand rather than

searching for resources to accomplish that task.

My goal in writing this eBook is to point fellow drafters, designers and

architecture students, in the direction of some very valuable informa-

tion. A lot of these resources and tools have helped me tremendously

in my drafting business and I hope that they do the same for you.

Because the list of these resources is so vast, I will not provide ex-

tended comments on every resources. But I will make sure to include

hyperlinks so you can go straight to website of mentioned resource.

If you find this eBook helpful, the greatest thing you can do is to tell

others about it so they can benefit from it as well. Please feel free to

share these resources with your friends!

I would love to connect with you! I certainly don’t want for this eBook to

be the only interaction that we ever have. Please connect with me us-

ing any or all of the social mediums listed below.

Sincerely,

Eugene Kovalenko
