Prompt
Designers represent their ideas through many different means: drawings, photographs, renderings, scale models, prototypes, and more. Each method presents specific advantages for highlighting different aspects of the concept and proposed execution.
Instructions
In this assignment, we will learn about different types of diagrams, and how we can use each one to further communicate the ideas of your project.
Review the presentation above to learn about the types of diagrams used by designers to communicate their ideas. Then each project team needs to create a Use Diagram and Technical Diagram. As you create your diagrams, consider how each one will highlight a different aspect of your idea. These diagrams should be useful tools for others to understand your idea.
Keep in mind that these diagrams will be shared in your final presentation, so take care to make them clean and easily understandable.
Draw a Use Diagram
- Look back at examples of this type of diagram in the slides above.
- Depict who is interacting with your project as well as how they are utilizing it.
- Using arrows, color coding, and/or labels, point out the components of your project in your Use Diagram.
Draw a Technical Diagram
- Look back at examples in the slides above. Notice how these examples deconstruct the object to show the individual elements.
- Deconstruct or take apart your final project into multiple components. Try to highlight visually, how the project is put together to perform its functions.
