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 />

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 />
