Overall i like communication, it thought me a lot about how to display your like a professional, and also tech drawing are also important, and don’t forget AutoCAD, even though i think it’s really hard to use but in this industry if you want to do any thing thats related to making something something that’s not 2D then you have to know how to use it, and unfortunately i’m still not that good at it so need to work harder for sure. All the tech drawing needs lots of time to be perfected and gets to the industry’s standard, you won’t just suddenly know how to do everything, that’s why i think i need try more.

As for the model making this is also very important and photography since these two is a really good and simple way to display my ideas.

This week we need to take some photo and do a little edit to it just try to make it look good, we should be using photo taken in uni but i have some photo that really want to share so i’m gonna use it anyway.

As for the editing, i know i should be using Photoshop as a professional but since i’m writing this blog on the go on my phone so the only thing i can do is editing with an app, so, sorry.

Conclusion

Refraction

I’m not that in to photography but i still enjoy doing it and as Rob saids in the lecture photograph is a very good way to communicate with other as a designer since it can be so direct.

As for my work show above, all i did is adjust the brightness, contrast, warmth and blur part of the image, i think this is just some basic stuff.

In this week’s class we are doing something call perspective drawing, this is basically 3D orthogonal drawing i think, our task is to draw a Wassily armchair, but first we have a exercise to begin with.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the exercise we have in order to let us understand what perspective drawing is all about.

This is my drawing.

Conclusion

Problem

In this weeks class we need to make some measurement of one of the things we choose and make a model of that thing with form core, when making the model i put a 1cm gap in between each form core, and i’m using 5mm thick form core.

In this case i choose to make a glass jar, as for the measurement i first draw a line one the marker tape and put them on the jar to act the gap, this way i can know how many pice of form core i need for the thing.

This is the jar i’m making.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the measurement i got for the glass jar.

And this is how i think i’m gonna insert my form core.

Conclusion

Problem

We also need to hand in one AutoCAD drawing of our item as well, this is bad news for me since i’m not that good at AutoCAD, also at the morning of the due day i realise i’ve been drawing in the wrong dimensions so i quickly draw a new one and thank god i made it in time.

As for the model i find that its really hard to get all the parts in to the right size to fit, and i did think i kinda messed up cuz of this.

This week we need to do a presentation about the rendering we`ve made, in this case i choose to render a playstation 4 slim which i also got one a home for reference if needed.

the goal is to do the rendering and make a poster for it, and this is the end result.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the rendering i just do it as what i leant last week which start with drawing all the outline for all the different part and put them in the different layers and then give them different coloer, for my poster since a ps4 is pretty simple thats why i think its better to shoe two different placement of the thing to show more detail.

This is the stand view for the thing, just putting all the parts together one by one.

And the front part which is just do the same thing again.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After finish the rendering it is time to make a poster, which in this case i try to imitate how Sony actually make the poster for their ps4 and use the same coloer and style as they did and this is what i`ve got.

And next thing to do is just put them together and thats my poster.

I also made a material board for the presentation.

Conclusion

Problem

To be honest theres not much problem since i find out how to do the rendering, just follow all the steps and all it take is time, and since i choose to make a ps4 with all the flat surface as long as i get the texture right then everything will be all good. Speaking about texture i try a lot of different things but none of them match so i just take a photo of the ps4 and use the texture that way and it works well.

As for the presentation i just talk about how i make the poster and what i feels good about and what i don’t, the material board i bring with me can be more clear and the image can be arrange in a better way.

This Wednesday i need to work on photoshop with something call rendering which i need to put colour and texture on an object and try to make it as real as possible.

This is the first time i heard of this so i really want to know how to do it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

our task is to put color and light and shadow on this heir dryer. And in the end it should be something like this.

So the first-thing we do for rendering is give a outline to the whole object and different outline for different part.

After giving every part their outline i need to place those outline in to different layers.

In every part folders is a light layer and a dark layer for light and shadows.

 in the end this is what i`ve got.

i know it can be better but since this is the first time i do this so i think its pretty good, at least thats what i think.

Conclusion

Problem

before this class i have no idea what is rendering and how to do it, at the beginning i have no idea you need to  give all the part you need a outline in the paths section but after rendering the brief few more time and asking for help i finally got it.

The next thing is the about the size for each part outline, turns out i need to draw each outline bigger than the original size so when i put each part together there will be no “gap” in between them which you can see in my drawing.

Refraction

Before this exercise i`ve never work with this much layers at once, but after getting used to it i have to say, its really make working much more easier especially with the rendering “outline ” thing you can change coloer by part instead of redraw the whole thing.

In this week of communication we need to have deeper understanding of AutoCAD, in this exercise we should be using layers to organise the drawing.

After working non stop for the whole class this is what i got, luckily i got all the diameters marked this time.

more detail of the Front and side view.

and last is the top view.

Reflection

After a week of understanding how to operate AutoCAD when doing the exercise this week i feel much more confident, but even tho there are still lot more can be improve since i`m still not that familiar with all the function of AutoCAD.

Things learnt

In this lesson i start using layers in my drawing, this is a good way to organize my work and make it easier to change anything if needed, it almost works like layers work in some of the adobe software so i`m okay with it.

Things to improve

In this week's studio we've been introduced with a drawing software call AutoCAD, and our task is to use CAD to draw a object given in the instruction with a top, front and Right side view, all dimensions are in mm.

And this is what i got

After all i have to say using software for tech drawing is much more harder than i think, it's not like using Photoshop where you don`t need to do any calculation in CAD you NEED to do all the calculation yourself and if something went wrong the whole thing is messed up, and since i`m not that good with numbers this is a big problem for me.

But the only advantage for me for using CAD i can think of is there's no drawing skills needed, but after the last 3 week i've already pick up with my drawing skill a lot so....
