Concept Sketching
Concept Sketching
Concept sketching is a spontaneous representation of ideas on paper without the use of technical aids. Used very early in the design process.
When designers produce freehand sketches they often include brief notes or annotation to help explain the thinking behind the visual image.
Orthographic drawings
Orthographic drawings
Formal drawing techniques tend to be used in the development phase of a design process. Formal drawings are used to represent a more resolved idea. Traditional formal drawings include orthographic projection, assembly drawings / exploded views, isometric and oblique representations.

'Concept sketching- thinking with a pen'
The Designer will use a range of freehand drawing techniques in the early stages of developing design idea to explore, shape, as well as information about construction, relationship of parts. Techniques might include:
Perspective, 2-d drawings [front side + top views], exploded views, tone, shade and sometimes rendered perspectives.
Run through 'Drawing skills foreshortening/shading & shading exercises. Evidence must be shown and uploaded
Then work through THIS video and sketch and sketch the product using the techniques developed in the previous presentation. Evidence must be shown and uploaded
2D and 3D graphical models
2D and 3D graphical models
Designers work with both 2D and 3D graphical models. 2D models represent detail, proportion, measurements, and relationships.
These can be considered "flat views" of an object
Orthographic drawings show all the details and dimensions of an object, and are typically produced at a high level of fidelity (detail).
3D graphical models show how design might look. Their purpose is to communicate a sense of proportion, scale, and aesthetics. 3D graphical models can take several forms depending on their function.
Both 2D and 3D graphical models typically include annotations in the drawing. Annotations are used to
record thoughts about features of a design
clarify function, material, or purpose of features
identify possible areas for improvement/modifications
Overall sizes (not specific at this stage), possible colours
It is expected that your sketches include annotations

Pictorial Drawings
Pictorial Drawings
Pictorial drawing is the oldest written method of communication known. A major value of pictorial drawings is that they show objects three-dimensionally. Engineering drawings, with all their dimensions and multiple views, are difficult to read for an untrained person. A pictorial drawing, on the other hand, can be viewed and understood by individuals with no background in engineering design.

Orthographic Drawings
Orthographic Drawings
A series of drawings that show the exact shape and size of an object. Typical orthographic drawings show three views of an object: Side, Top and Front. These drawings include details and dimensions, and are used to guide the construction of making of an object. They are sometimes called production drawings or working drawings.
