3. Graphic Techniques
Graphic Techniques are methods that are used to communicate ideas visually.
Include:
Letters
Symbols
Sketching
Drawing

4. I am mad Text Fonts are used to convey a mood or importance.
Symbols are also used for similar things.
I am mad

5. Sketching and Freehand Drawing
Sketching is a simple, visual way of communicating a design.
Sketching is done without the use of tools, is done freehand.
Example – World’s Tallest Golf Tee.

7. Technical Drawing
To give more accuracy to a sketch use a Technical Drawing.
Technical Drawing is a method of producing highly accurate drawings using special instruments and tools.

8. Two-Dimensional Drawing
A flat shaped drawing is drawn in Two-Dimensional.
When you draw multiple views it is an multiview drawing.

9. Multi View Drawing

10. Three-Dimensional Drawing
Gives a clear picture of the object, more realistic.
Three Kinds
Oblique = One surface is shown in a straight on view and the other surfaces are at an angle.
Isometric = Drawn within a framework of three lines, or an isometric axis. No part is “flat.”
Perspective Drawing = Parts of the object that are farther away appear smaller.

14. Computer Aided Design
Computer Aided Design (CAD) – An important software application that allows people to produce drawings using a computer instead of traditional drawing tools.
This is similar to graphic drawings, except with a computer.

15. Multiview

16. Why use CAD? Saves time. Less time is required to update designs.
Designs are more accurate.
A CAD system can help identify a design’s strengths and weaknesses.
