Communicate design ideas involves • Using techniques that show/detail/explain the functional and aesthetic qualities of the design • Techniques: • Sketching, rendering, modelling/model making e.g. mock-ups and 3D constructions, collage and overlays, digital media e.g. CAD, image manipulation and animation
Possible techniques Sketching, rendering, modelling, collage, overlays, digital media, Image manipulation, animation
Aesthetic qualities • Colour, tone, texture, pattern, shape, balance, surface finish
Functional qualities • Operation, movement, ergonomic interface, construction, material, assembly, size, scale proportion
Advanced sketching skills • Starting from basic shapes and advancing to more advanced forms • Learn to use media to quickly express design intent • Thinking through and externalizing all ideas
Viewpoints • Choosing different viewpoints is all about optimizing shape information • The choice of the viewpoint has a big impact on a drawing, so its worth while to make a well considered choice.
Observation • Observation drawing develops the parts of the brain that help us see better. Drawing ability builds self-confidence.
