Welcome to the Graphics page
Here you will find information relating to various graphical exercises and learning activities that take place during your course studying graphics.
This course has a focus on Design skills through Engineering drawing, landscape products and architectural drawing, using both traditional technical drawing skills and Computer Aided Design software.
My goals and objectives are to take you through a few elementary graphical concepts and develop them through practice, so your are able to understand a little more on graphical communication, who uses it and how it is important and why we need to adhere to industry established standards, especially AS1100 drawing standards.
