WEEK 1

Intro. to Graphic Communication

WEEK #1

This week we will cover an introduction of Graphic Communication and the fields it encompasses. We will also discuss the programs used in those respective fields. Some of the fields we will discuss will include:
  • Architecture
  • Civil Design
  • Industrial Design
  • Aerospace
  • Graphic Design
  • Patents & Toy Design


Next, we will discuss the basics of drafting. I have created class binders that will be handed out during class. We will learn how to properly read and use an Architectural Scale with some exercises out of our binders. Then we will briefly discuss proper handwriting and lettering techniques for drafting. There are a few lettering templates included in the class binder that students can use at home for practice if they are interested.

The final part of class will be to work on hand sketching. There are 3 hand sketches in the binder that we will try to complete during our hour together. Below are links to download the PDF file for each assignment.

I look forward to class! Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Thank you,
