Front 1

Scales

Back 1

The scale is determined by the amount of detail required and the size of paper you will be printing on.

Full size: 1:1

Enlargement: 2:1

Reduction: 1:2

Front 2

Tolerances

Back 2

By adding manufacturing tolerances it allows room for small errors with component sizes as long as they are within the sizes given.

Front 3

Tangency

Back 3

1. Drawing a tangent between a straight line and an arc. (Pg 30 of course book)

2. Drawing a tangent between 2 arcs. (Pg 31 of course book)

Front 4

Location Plan (Block Plan)

Back 4

•1:1250 scale

•Includes surrounding building plots (houses), parks, roads, pavements, fields, street names and house numbers.

•Has a North direction arrow.

Front 5

Site Plan

Back 5

•1:500 scale

•Includes the building plots boundary, contour lines to show slopes, drainage runs and man holes, existing trees and trees to be removed, Street names and house numbers and a North direction arrow.

Front 6

Floor Plan

Back 6

•1:50 scale

•Includes arrangement of rooms, positions of doors and windows, all electrical, kitchen and bathroom fittings and plumbing and drainage runs.

Front 7

Sectional View Features

Back 7

Sectional views slice through parts of the building to show the inside of walls and other parts to the building.

•1:20 scale

•Includes technical details of eaves and foundations, doors and windows, floors and ceilings, materials being used and ground levels outside and underneath the building.

Drawing Symbols

Back 8

Learn meanings for everything shown on page 63 of course book or find the drawing symbols online.

Front 9

Orthographic Sketching

Back 9

This is when you have your drawing page include elevation, end elevation and plan views. You can also include views such as enlarged views to show off smaller parts of the drawing that may be missed otherwise.

Front 10

Perspective Sketching

Back 10

This is when the drawing page includes 1 point, 2 point and oblique views.

Front 11

CAD Library

Back 11

Used to stop technicians repeatedly drawing or creating the same thing over and over. This saves time and money and also reduces the risk of an error being made.

Front 12

Top Down Modeling

Back 12

When one part is used to help model the next part. This ensures that parts fit together and is very effective when complex parts are involved.

Front 13

Bottom Up Modeling

Back 13

When each part is made separately before being brought together for assembly. This modeling technique can also lead to issues such as parts not fitting together when you finally assemble the model and would require you to go back and remodel.

Front 14

CAD Simulation

Back 14

CAD simulation can be used for the following reasons:

•Training (e.g. Pilots and Surgeons)

•Testing (Identify faults)

•Predicting (e.g. Weather)

Front 15

Benefits of DTP

Back 15

•Changes can be made quick and easy.

•Allows lots of files to be brought together.

•Speeds up the process of graphic design.

Front 16

Layers of a Page DTP

Back 16

Using layers allows you so split up the content into different parts. Layers can be hidden and locked to declutter the page and ensure nothing is moved accidentally.

Front 17

The Master Page DTP

Back 17

The master page includes content that will appear on every page and is where the structure of the page is created e.g. Margins, gutters, headers, footers, guidelines and logos.

Front 18

DTP Features

Back 18

You can find all of the DTP features from pages 120 to 128 in the course book.

Front 19

Serif and Sans Serif

Back 19

Serif is when the font has flicks on the end or beginning of letters.

Sans Serif is when the font does not have flicks on the end or beginning of letters.

Front 20

Anatomy of a Page

Back 20

Examples can be found on page 144 of course book or the DTP glossary can be found on page 151 but the anatomy of the page includes things such as:

Headers, Sub-Headers, Drop Caps, Pull Quotes, Text Wrap, White Space, Drop Shadows, Bleed and Crop.

Front 21

Printing and Pre-Press

Back 21

Examples can be found on page 145 of the course book and covers things such as:

Densitometer Bars, Registration Marks, Colour Bars and Crop Marks.

Front 22

Design Elements

Back 22

The design elements include:

Line, Colour, Shape, Form, Value, Texture, Space.

These are seen as the building blocks of a page.

Front 23

Design Principles

Back 23

The design principles include:

Unity/Harmony, Contrast, Scale and Proportion, Balance, Rhythm and Emphasis.

These are seen as the blueprint of a page.
