Drawings are a great way of communicating ideas. Having an idea is one thing. Developing the idea and getting it across to others is another. The usual first step in the design process are thumbnail sketches. These small and very rough drawings are produced rapidly and only show the essential ideas of the design. They are very useful for exploring several alternatives before deciding on which is likely to be the best way forward. The other drawings are all developed from these initial sketches, and finally, a prototype can be produced from the working drawing. Designers will produce...

Designers will produce presentation drawings to show the final design to their customers. There are many different techniques for producing these and other drawings. In order to communicate a three dimensional idea, an isometric view or a perspective drawing is used. When written material forms an important part of your presentation, it should be laid out clearly and logically to help others understand your proposals. When you start to prepare your presentation, make some rough notes and sketch some different design layouts. A good written presentation would also contain graphics, including charts, images and diagrams, but only if they help to explain or describe your ideas. A written presentation should also contain white space (blank areas on the page). This makes it easier to follow, a page that is full of small text in many different colours and no white space would be difficult to read. Key points about your design can be presented as short sentences in a list . Facts and figures can be quite boring so livening them up by making them into a graphic is always a good idea. Show less
