IDP Final Presentation

On 6 July 2015, we did our presentation of our final assignments, The Survival Projects from the Introduction to Interior Designs Projects module.

All of us were divided into different group of lecturers and did our presentation one on one with the lecturer.

This is my storyboard. The first part of our final project after we came back from our trip to the Redang Island.

 This is the weapons I created for this assignments,

Dual-Knife

Here's a video of the storybaord and briefly about the weapons as well.

The second part of this assignment is making a survival pod.

Here is the presentation board about everything you need to know about my survival pod.

We also required to make a model version of our survival pod.

This is my final model of my survival pod.

After 1 month doing this assignment, I'm glad to finished it without any issues. 

Today, I managed to did my presentation without any problems and I hope I doesn't look as nervous as I were in the inside. 

I want to say thank you to all my lecturers who had guide us for this whole semester.

Submission Day

Today, 1st July 2015, is our submission day for the portfolio and visual diary.

Marker Rendering

Last but not least, our final assignment for this class is Marker Rendering.

We were require to photocopy our plan, elevation and section drawing last time

[Plan, Elevation and Section Drawing]

and compose it to a presentation board with a suitable title and a few description about the house.

Since we did watercolour rendering before, this time we need to do a marker rendering.

Reflection:

It's true that marker rendering makes our work look more professional, however, I personally like using watercolour rendering more to produce my work. In my opinion, watercolour rendering looks more soft colouring instead to marker rendering. But it was fun exploring different kinds of techniques in rendering.  

Model Making

In a group of 4, we were given a task to make a model making assignment. 

By using softboard and a few transparency paper for the windows.

This model was the same house model we did for our plan, elevation, and section drawing.

The final model

My presentation board

Reflection:

This is our first time doing a model making assignment and it was very hard. the scale of this model is 1:100. It's quite small and doing the staircase was very hard. Sometimes it make me want to have smaller hands. It's super stressful for the first time of making it and I hope in the future I'll will manage to do it just fine. Cuting the pieces together also reminds me of foundation last time when Idid a cut-out assignments. However, compare to last time, which was only using paper, this time using a softboard, it will add a few more energy to cut it. 

Perspective Drawing

After the skill test, we were taught how to construct a perspective gird lines. 

One point and two point perspective. 

After that, we were require to draw both of the perspective again with 6 different type and size 3D blocks.

One point perspective

One point perspective with 6 3D blocks

 Two point perspective

 Two point perspective with 6 3D blocks

Reflection:

It might looked hard, but suprisingly it's very easy to draw. Using the proper tools and following the methods given, it only took me around 10-15 minutes to do the grid line. As for the 3D blocks, some of them took me awhile to do it but this task had make me understand how important it is perscpective applies to us. The grid line makes me able to see it more clearly. 

Isometric Skill Test

Before we begin the class, we had a quick skill test in the morning.

We don't know what test it's about till they tell us before the test start.

It seem a skill test on isometric, which is a 30 ° - 30 ° drawing.

They give us an image of the object in the projecter in front of the class, together with its measurement.

The test is only for 15 minutes.

Reflection:

When we were told that the test is only for 15 minutes, I kinda panic inside, because I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it on time. However, I was managed to finished it on time.   

Oblique Drawing

After a lecture about oblique drawing, we were given a task based on the drawing of the object.

There's a plan and 2 elevation diagram in the given paper. 

Based on the paper, we need to draw it out in a oblique method drawing together with the title block.

I choose to do in 30 ° - 60 ° 

Reflection:

With the proper tools, it is not as hard as I thought it would be, except the circle part. It was the hardest part ever and it took me awhile to get it right every time. To achieve the correct circle in oblique draw, the measurement has to be very accurate. If it is not accurate, then it won't be a perfect circle in oblique drawing, there will be an error.  It also have a lot of steps to achieve it. 

Plan, Elevation and Section

We were given a layout plan of a house, ground floor, first floor, elevation and section Y-Y.

Based from the layout, we were require to draw it out the proper scale reading together with the title block. As for section X-X, we need to figure it out ourselves.

Section Y-Y

Reflection:

It was challenging to draw a layout of a house, since I never drew one before. We need to make sure the thickness of our lines, for example, the thickness of the doors, windows, walls and such. The dimension also need to be very accurate, The neatness of the lines are also important when drawing a layout plan and such.

Orthographic Projection

Last time we did the sketches for the "Letter N" 

[Orthographic Sketches]

After that, we were required to do a pencil outline on a cartridge paper and pen outline on a tracing paper together with a title block.

The second task for this assignment is, by using the same format as the "Letter N" block, based on any objects. I choose a hexagon jar I had laying at home.

Reflection:

I realize that it is important to understand the different angle of an object that we can see. Not all angle of the object looked the same, there might be slightly different. If it doesn't have any differences, then the object is a fix shape object. 

Understanding Plan, Elevation and 3D View

Our first assignment using title block is understand plan, elevation and 3D view drawing.

We were given 5 objects and we will need to draw it out, together with a title block. We will need to to a pencil outline on a cartridge paper and also using pen outline on a tracing paper.

Redo of the pen outline:

Reflection:

Even though we were given the objects, we still need to measure how the table box will be, and suprisingly, it was very challenging. I tried many time because some of the object dimension are too big to fit inside the table space. However, in the end, I'd managed to get it right. I had to do a redo because due to the the pen lines looked the same thickness, it need to be in different thickness. The lines also need to be very neat and clean at the same time. 

Watercolour II

Last time, when we did a couple of watercolour rendering in class, we were given an assignment on that day. Our task was to render on an interior space printout they gave to us with watercolour. We receive 3 paper, however we only need to submit one. 

I choose this interior space and this is how I render it with watercolour.

Reflection:

I must say, I really enjoy watercolour, and this had been a very fun task for me to do and explore at the same time. As I researched on watercolour rendering about interior space, I realize that they dont usually watercolour the whole space often. They only focus on one particular spot, to give an idea what the space is and what to see on the works. Human figure or other unrelated stuff, such as the landscape, if it doesn't have any related with the interior, are usually left out white.

Human Figure and Objects

We were given an blank space perspective printouts in class and we need to fill it in with 5 more human figure and objects, such as chair, table, upholstered seating and storage. This is mainly to test our understanding in perspective and objects composition.

This is what I drew

Reflection:

I learned that as long we know how to draw a perspective composition drawing, for example, using the eye level and the vanishing point, will make it easier to understand and how to draw it. As for objects, it important to never make it too empty but also not too crowded. In my opinion, this may be the first step we need to understand when designing a space. The human figure need to be accurate as well, to the eye level.
