The last leg of this assignment will focus on presentation and display graphics. I mentioned many times on tuesday about thinking of your renders and how they would relate to different forms of information on the printed sheet. I encourage you to look at the renders as ways to pull drawings and diagrams together, not cloister them apart. On thursday I want to have a discussion as a class on all the issues dealing with graphics. Therefeore each of you will post on their blog an example of your presentation boards. You are required to post a minimum of one image at 1500 pixels wide, 72 dpi. This example should be polished and completed. All line drawings should be taken into Illustrator and cleaned up. All renders should be complete with post-process techniques. There will be no placer boxes, where information will go. Remember that we will be discussing all issues of your board, the indvidual pieces of the layout, and the layout as a whole.
You will do the same for your portfolio. Submit 3-4 sample pages at 1000 pixels each, 72 dpi. These should also be finished, not working pages. This is your last chance to discuss with me in a classroom setting your graphic designs, so show me your best work so that we may learn as a class.
DUE on THURSDAY, NOV. 20th
on your blog MIN. 1 PRESENTATION BOARD
on your blog MIN. 3 PAGES FROM PORTFOLIO
all work will be complete, no placeholders!

Use your own discretion to make these renders as beneficial as possible. Remember at all times that the purpose of these renders is not only to give the reader a sense of your space, but also to communicate your design and your concept. Focus your renders on your structure, your spectacle, and any of the really interesting elements that sell your building.

- color overlays to highlight parts of your building
- subtracting parts of your render to bring other parts forward
- heavy outlines
- scale figures to show function and potential use
- written descriptions to call out details of your design
