Graphics Skills Portal

The BSP Graphic Skills Portal is a set of step-by-step guides and tutorials aimed at supporting students' development and learning of graphic skills at the Bartlett School of Planning.

The Portal is a starting point for extended learning aimed at:   

  • helping students to understand and develop core urban design and planning concepts and techniques,    
  • improving students’ software knowledge and skills, and  
  • providing students with an easy-to-navigate out-of-the-classroom educational tool to develop their ideas and proposals.  

Design comes in a range of forms, from the most abstract/symbolic to the very detailed and together these are used in combination to tell a story: the story of how you understand any given urban space and envision its future.

Looking for graphic design resources for your next project? We've compiled a list that include stock images, CAD blocks, fonts, textures, icons and more. 

Current BSP students have the opportunity to enrol in a comprehensive Graphic Skills Fundation Course on Moodle that provides a practical guide to producing graphics for planning and urban design projects. This is an elective non-credit-bearing taught module. We strongly recommend this course to students enrolled on MSc programmes particularly if you have no graphics training, or feel the need to brush up on these skills.
