Before you start you paper development, make sure you have presented your test model on sites and you have written an evaluation of the model.
Before you start you paper development, make sure you have presented your test model on sites and you have written an evaluation of the model.
You should explain the steps you took to manufacture the model what tools and processes you learned and how the manufacture went.
Did you make any decisions? What successes or failures did you have?
After explaining the process of manufacture you should write a summary evaluation about the model and critically analyse the design.
When evaluating you should say what is good about you model but also what is not good and needs to change (develop) in order to make you design better.
Clear photos and descriptive text.
Don't leave blank photos or empty textboxes.
Explain the processes you used.
Development is the process of trying to improve your initial idea to make sure you have considered all design options and details before you commence manufacture.
Development ensures a thorough design process has been followed and gives a client options within the same design style.
Arrows are an important feature of development and communicate the flow of work. You should use arrows as part of your design communication to help demonstrate your order of thinking. Hopefully these arrows will inspire you.
Start your development work with a photo of your foam model and add annotations to critically analyse the outcome. Write what is good about the model and what features need to change.This critical analysis should guide your development.
Using pencil to begin with start to develop the changes you have identified. Use the crating technique to make sure your design is proportional and annotate (add written notes) as you go along to explain your design thinking.
Continue your development, experimenting with different concepts to see what works.
Use a combination of views - front / side / top to show how design details look all around the design shape.
Pencil sketch
Thin fine line pen
Annotation added
Thick fine line pen around the outline
3D sketches can be used to show more detail
Use the crating technique but make sure the crate is a 2 point perspective crate. An underlay may be a useful resource to help you.
Fine-line all the details with a thin black pen.
Use a thicker black pen for the outline.

Rendering
Rendering
The purpose of rendering is to make your design work look realistic. You should use the tone of your rendering to help communicate shape. Darker tones of the same colour appear as shaddos in our minds eye and help our brains to interpret 3D shape. Think about the shape you are trying to communicate on your paper...
If it curve inwards (concave) then it will be in shadow and therefore should be a darker tone.
Flat or upwards facing curves (convex) will catch the light and should be a lighter tone.

Diagonal highlights can be used to communicate flat sheet material that is shiny. Make sure the lines are parallel. Use a ruler to achieve this technique.
When rendering a 3D drawing you should make the same considerations of where light will hit the object or where shadows will be cast. Imagine the light coming from above the object - like the lights in the ceiling.
Alternative Digital Development - Procreate
Alternative Digital Development - Procreate
Digital development on Procreate is also an option. Check the examples below to get a better understanding of what you might need to do.
Use the text options to customise your text.
Make full use of the drawing tools.
Always use and apply layers when designing.
Follow the 4 main steps below in the same order to streamline your work flow. By doing all of the inking/line work first will help speed things up. If you do all of your colour effects at the same time then you will only need to select masked areas once and choose brush tools once. Working in this way means you will not work on each design one by one but on the entire page as one piece.
Step 1. Set up and import photo.
Step 2. All line work
Step 3. Colour effects
Step 4. Text

A photo of the blue foam test model has been imported successful (after editing the white background).
All line work has been completed during Step 2.
Step 3 colour effects are consistent but shapes change and adapt through development.
Text and evaluations explain ideas and planning.
