1.14 Design Communication Flashcards
1
Q
orthographic drawing/projection
A
- 2D
- front, plan & end elevations
- engineers & manufacturers
- standardised method for
> relative position of elevations
> dimensioning
> scale
> line types (eg hidden detail)
2
Q
sectional drawing
A
- 2D
- shows internal details
- object is usually ‘cut’ in half along cutting plane
3
Q
isometric
A
- 3D
- used to sketch designs
- can be freehand
- uses 30 degree angle- set square can be used
4
Q
isometric crating
A
- 3D
- crate helps sketch in isometric
- particularly useful for sloping surfaces & curves
5
Q
one-point perspective
A
- 3D
- architects & interior designers
- gives depth
- objects smaller towards vanishing point
6
Q
two-point perspective
A
- 3D
- for design ideas
- exaggerates 3D effect
- can be drawn above or below or on horizon line
7
Q
thin/thin line technique
A
- makes 3D drawings stand out
- external edges bold & thick
- internal lines thin
8
Q
marker rendering
A
- spirit-based markers
- provide base colour
- additional layers of tone can be added
- fine-line pens for additional detail
- enhances realism
9
Q
mixed media drawings
A
- make use of: > pencil & fine line (detail) > marker pen > water colour for area colour - realistic textures are possible
10
Q
texture rendering
A
- added using fine-liner
- specific materials can be suggested:
> wood grain
> cross-hatching
> stippling
11
Q
report writing
A
- record of project (remains after project complete)
- EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: at beginning of process, concise summary of design, reasons for design, summary of effectiveness
- INTRODUCTION: describes design problem, explains context, client & potential customers, incl other design ideas & selection process
- CONCLUSION: describes selected design, problems during project (& solutions), evaluates against original spec, explains testing, if design did not meet requirements analyses why & modifications
12
Q
bar chart
A
- simplest way to represent data
- widely recognised
- used in many reports & media
13
Q
histogram
A
- similar to bar chart
- data shown in ranges
- show frequency distribution of data
- useful in representing results of research
14
Q
line graph
A
- shows data changes over time
- easy to understand
- data shown accurately as plotted against a scale
15
Q
pictograph
A
- data is easy to understand
- quick to read -> good for presentations
- not very accurate
