TerraSol, Salt Lake City, UT<br />

Founder Brent Bowen often works with developers<br />

to create marketable images of large residential developments.<br />

These images are intended to sell the<br />

unit to potential buyers after it has passed the civic<br />

approval process. While images for approval usually<br />

address the project’s relationship to its surroundings,<br />

marketing images aim to create drama and desirability.<br />

For these reasons, small artistic liberties are taken<br />

when rendering the project, such as including furniture<br />

or slightly shifting a wall in order to achieve a<br />

more strategic view. These minor changes and additions<br />

do not affect the overall design but also do not<br />

necessarily reflect a truthful spatial experience. 10<br />

Bowen Studios, 2011<br />

Garbett Homes, developer<br />

Multiple rounds of revisions to develop overarching<br />

rendering style for project<br />

Marketing material (online, print). Image<br />

supplemented with site-unit plans and exterior<br />

perspectives<br />

1–2 weeks to develop style (including collaboration<br />

with client); once style is established, renderings<br />

can be completed (independently) in 6 hours<br />

3D model (SketchUp, Revit, AutoCAD), 2D<br />

rendering (3DS Max), minimal post-processing<br />

(Photoshop)<br />

Approximately $1500 for the first image, $800 for<br />

others in similar style<br />

Image is owned by the client but Bowen Studios can<br />

use it for its own marketing; Bowen Studios requests<br />

credit only in newspaper or magazine articles<br />
