GRAPHIC TECHNIQUES
- Annotated Sketches**
- Quick and rough 2D and 3D sketches
with written notes
- Used during idea
generation stage
- Generally communicating with
other designers
- Pictorial Drawings
- Better quality and more
detailed 3D drawings and
sketches used to explore form
and proportion
- Used during the early
development stage
- Communicating with other designers
and members of the design team to
discuss changes to designs and to
evaluate aesthetics.
- Working Drawings **
- Accurate scale drawings
with dimensions and
hidden detail to show
sizes
- Used later in the development
stage to figure out detailed sizes
and make sure parts will fit
together. Required for accurate
manufacture of the product parts.
- Communicating with the
engineers and manufacturers
- Illustration Presentation
Graphics **
- High quality rendered 3D
images of a product or
proposed product which give
a realistic view of how a
product will look.
- Used during the development
stage to communicate proposed
ideas to people with no
technical knowledge.
- Used to help clients who would find it
hard to read a more technical drawing
appraise and evaluate design proposals.
Used by marketing team to promote or
advertise a product to potential clients or
consumer groups.
- Computer Models **
- Accurate 3D models created on
computer programmes to fine
tune the sizes and shapes of
components so that they will
assemble. Can also be used to
create rapid prototype models.
- Used at the development stage to
ensure that components of a
product will fit together during
assembly. Can be used as a
Presentation Visual for clients as
it is easy to understand.
- Communicating with
Manufacturers, other designers,
marketing team, engineers, clients
and the general public/consumers.
