MODULE 01 How to Draw a Croissant
MODULE 01
How to Draw a Croissant The first Module of this semester is drawing a croissant in different views, this technique looks like Industrial drawing which includes bottom view, top view, front view, side view and three drawings of sections. This module tests student’s drawing skills and basic formating skills. This work is complated in three A3 papers, the first paper include orignal pictures of this croissant, the second paper are drawings of different views of this croissant and the last paper covers the axonometric drawings of the sections. The first step is setting camera and taking pictures from top, front and left side of this croissant, after that, the bottom of this croissant is scanned in order to get the bottom view. This croissant is cut in half and scanned to have the section view, and cutting and scanning is replaced twice. After collecting all the views of the croissant, formating all views and make sure the size of

Drawing The second step is overlay a tracing paper on the picture of the views and illustrate the border of each view with 0.15 fineline pen, and the shade and depth effect of the drawing is produced by 2B and 4B pens. Sections of this croissant are also hatched by fineline pens, the cut lines of the section are hatched by 0.4 fineline pen, and the lines in sections are complated by 0.15 fineline pen. The location of each section is marked on the top view of this croissant. 5
Axonmetric View The last step is the production of the axonometric view of the croissant. Three grids are drawn and each of the block in grids is 10mm by 10mm, after fishing grids, overlay the tracing paper on the sections and mark the intersection points of the cut line and grid. Then, rotate the grid 45 degree and make the sections looks like a projection view, the next is join all then points together and join all the sections of the sections to profuce a 3-D view of the projection of the croissant. 6

FLATNESS vs PROJECTION Mario Worlds This module requires students set up an axonometric Mario world base on two images from the same level in Mario game. Students should draw the 3D world which is formed by two 2D Mario world. Because there is space between two views of the world, so design and creation are also required. Not only the drawing, but also the usage of Illustrator and photoshop is required in this work. There are a few steps to finish this module.

Two Mario worlds at right side of this page come from my tutor, and they are the basic views of my module.
World 6-8-9 8
Axonometric The first step is drawing the axonometric of the Mario world. The fisrt world is consisted to be tne backgroung of the 3D world is rotated 45 degreed and overlayed by a tracing paper and draw the left part of the world. Then the world which shows the front of thworld is also setted in 45 degree and draw the other half of the world. When all the basic drawings are finished, the empty space will be designed and many objects and landscape are added in these space. 9
Mario World by fineline pen
Illustrator Work Because all the drawing work is finished by pencil, as a result tracing the pencil drawing by fineline pen, and scarn the image to Illustrator and illustrat the linework of the world. The cut lines is darker and that can produce the effect of depth.

Mario World by Illustrator
The final step is fill the image with different coloer, different darkness of different colour can produce the effect of shadaw and depth. The tubes of this world is different, which can produce the complex tube system of Mario world, since tube is one of the major element of the Mario game. Under the basic Mario world is a upside-down pyramid and that will make the whole world looks like a part from a big hill.

MODULE 03
PATTERN vs SURFACE The third module is a combination of modeling with software and moding with paper, this module required students make 3D model by Rhinoceros and make the paper model with knife and glue. This model based on an area of Tasmania and all the panels are designed by student. After the panels are finished, students may manage to support the lanscape to create the orignal landscape, and that can make the model looks better.

Orginal Landscape: This is my landscape, which is a part of a hill in Tasmania.
Test Panelling: The basic test model of Panelling tool in Rhino
Unrolled panels of module 3
Final model with basic panels: This is the final model of module 3, and there are five kinds of panels in the module, and over all there are two high points and two low points of this model in order to produce the landscape.

Module 04
FRAME vs FIELD The final module is the result of four different types of softwares. This module test student’s ability of thinking two different storyboards in one scence base on a short story from Invisible Cities. Also choose of characters and material is also a diffculty, because of the limition of space, students have to come up with two different views and the manegment of the locations of characters. The city I choose is Moriana, which is in chapter 7 City and Eyes. This city has great difference between wealth and poverty, and this city likes a paper, do not have thickness.

View 1 -- Area of wealth
View 2 -- Area of poverty
Digital Model The digital model bases on the Old Quad of University of Melbourne, and I make some changes of that, a basement is added and stairs also be included to connect with the ground floor and basement. The characters I chose are different in two views, but basically all of them come from the paints of renaissance period. The size of characters can

This is the isometric view of the model, there are some icons can be seen from the diagrom, they are all the characters from the model and the movment and timeline of the whole trip of Marco Polo. Different moods in different place also shows on this diagrom. This work is finished with Adobe Illustrator, and the cut lines are darker and colour is filled on 20

REFLECTION Through the whole semester, I make a great improvment, four different modules trained me different skills and lectures taught me many technique of expression and ideas of different modules. Module one test the skill of drawing, which is the foundation of design, also, different line weight can show the depth of the space, light lines always feels further than dark lines. Also the combination of pencils and fineline pens can present the objects better than only fineline pen or only pencil. Module two mainly focus on axonometric drawing and the usage of Adobe Illustrastor. The axonometric drawing shows the projection of the object, from the lecture, there are three type of perspective, and projection is one of them. Perspective projection is the point of the front is 45 degree to the horzational line, as a result, 45 degree is important i axonometric drawings. The skills of Adobe Illustrastor are also important, this module requires trace the drawing lines in AI, and the managment of colour can show the shadow and depth of the space. Both Module 3 and 4 train the usage of Rhino to make degital models, but module 3 is focus on panelling tool. In Module 3, hand made paper model is also required. Finally, module 4 taught me different ways of the frame, these frames are always found in films. Software, especially Photoshop, is important in this module, because students required to use Photoshop to put the material and the characters in the view. My modules are not perfect, some improvment can be made on them, in module 2, the effect of cloud is not good enough, it looks like solid not clould, maybe reduce the thickness and the colour is too simple of the cloud. In Module 4, the connection of two views is weak, it looks like two different cities, I should set these characters in one level and both views can show both sides.
