Note 


First login leads to a confirmation request page, so fill in the necessary, send, then wait for about two days (not literally in front of your computer).
A confirmation will be sent, probably via your student e-mail (that alone confirms your student status).

Then login. You will get an extra window asking for the organisation, type in 'Green', then click on Greenwich University (in the drop down box)

Carry on as per video.

Bring in Greenwich Passwords.

When placing components think about the colour, style and theme, so that there is a consistency to the model.

Also some extra stuff from Apple. Just look down the page and watch as needed. Some great effects, though remember less can be more.

Bench of Oblivion

Oblivion

Put sketches together for those who are wondering about the process.

I may add this is the route I take, so so it may be helpful for some and not others.

1) Big Sketchy lines with the title in my head.

Getting more refined

Some kind of resolution, plus a basic plan, top, side and front view.

Lots of curves and twists so that issues you come up with on your designs, I will hit as well.

Note

Always a good habit to put people in your sketches (even the rough ones)

a) Good practice

b) Gives the sketch a sense of scale

A 'Simon Templar' (The Saint) will do.

The p1800, now that is good design

When your models are finished we shall do a fly through similar to this.

Dull, Dull, Dull.


Really not going to make the Oscars with these, but picking up on last weeks lesson. I have come back to the drawing, this time remembering how I constructed it in the first place.

Datums

Whenever you put together a drawing its always worth noting your first datum points (in construction lines), as other points often spring off them and if you get them the wrong way round the drawing won't come together.

So a bit like the exercise that I have given you. You have to think about how best to to draw your sketch into AutoCAD. You can never have too many construction lines.

So five short video's, watch pause and draw.

FE class


I have directed my FE class onto the blog as there is a lot of cross over (they are ahead) and both classes will benefit from the blog.

2nd February

Already!


A nice steady lesson later today.

We wil have a round table chat on how the Benches are progressing, with the idea that next week you should have the drawing completed, and issues can be tackled in class.

So a quick run down between now and Easter.

2nd Feb

Layers,trim/arrays and construction lines (Mr Lacks Drawing)

9th Feb

Composition of Power Point, general presentation techniques and problem solving.

16th Feb

Power Point of your basic Bench, photographs of the site, explanation of context (or not) and why your design will work (otherwise what is the point). This is a practice for your PP on the 22nd March a week before the hand in.

The five weeks between we will work on annotation/scale/composition. If we get ahead then we will start playing with Photoshop. Need images of people, at eye level, and above (start making a folder of good pictures to use).

Flicker is the place, then screen shot ('snippet' in Windows i think).


Some russian Bus stops, to prove there is nothing new under the sun. 

                      Create a context

                      Love this, set at an angle to the road, the ratio's
                      very 'golden section.'

                      Inspired by Kandinsky ,perhaps?
