Item(s)/ Page(s) _____________ The Orthographic views of the item where generated from the 3D model created in Inventor. All parts of the item where sketched in Autodesk Inventor using the line and circle tool and then edited to the correct dimensions. The finished sketches where then extruded or revolved to the correct height/depth or diameterand a number of other facilities on the software were used to create the unique shape of the components like “shell” and “fillet”. Each part was then assembled together using the Constraint tool from the Assembly Panel Views created by inserting a base view (elevation) and then projecting the plan and the end elevation from this base view. Hidden detail was added when the base view was inserted using the Drawing View dialogue box by selecting Hidden Line from the Style option. A sectional view was created using the Section View tool and a Cutting Plane was added through the centre of the object and projected to the right hand side of the Elevation. An enlarged view was added using the Detailed View tool and moved into the correct postion. Dimensions were added to the drawing using the General Dimensions from the Drawing Annotations Drop Down menu. All setting for the dimensions were edited to British Standards. Appropriate centre lines were added using the centre mark tool or the centerline tool. Each view was labelled in the Drawing View dialogue box and moved to the correct position under each of the appropriate views. Tiles and text where added using the Text tool in the Drawing Annotations Panel.

Item(s)/ Page(s) _____________ Exploded Isometric drawing was generated from the model created in Inventor. Numbered labels were added using the Balloon tool in the Drawing Annotation Panel. A List of the parts was then generated using the Parts List tool This was then added to the Drawing to ensure a clear understanding of the component parts of the item. Each item and quantity was Detailed for clarity. The Exploded Isometric of the item was created in Inventor by editing the constraints placed upon the assembly of the original item in the model tree and renaming it Exploded Isometric.

Computer-Aided Illustration & Presentation Illustration Item(s)/ Page(s) _____________ Each part of the final assembly model was given a material colour before being rendered in Inventor Studio. In Inventor Studio I selected a Lighting Style that almost matched my requirements and then copied it and renamed it before I edited it until it achieved the look I was aiming for. To further enhance my model I changed the background using the Scene Styles editor. In Inventor Studio I selected a Scene Style that almost matched my requirements and then copied it and renamed it before I edited it until it achieved the look I was aiming for. In this area I was able to add shadows and reflections to achieve the look I wanted.

Computer-Aided Illustration & Presentation Desktop Publishing Item(s)/ Page(s) _____________ Before beginning this Item I sketched thumbnails to investigate possible design ideas. I then drew out a full size version to finalise my design. On a blank publication using Microsoft Publisher, the paper was set landscape and was split into three columns ensuring to keep my gutter size and border size correct.. The background was imported from the internet then copied this page by Inserting a Duplicate Page. This ensured that each page was identical to the other. Into each page I paced the appropriate text boxes and images. I used the rotate function to place my text at an angle where appropriate. I used word art for my headings, sub headings and prices. I formatted it to get the colour, line sizes and shadows which suited the colours of the leaflet. I used imported images of my own model created in Inventor and rendered in Inventor Studio as described in Section 3 - Computer-Aided Illustration & Presentation - Illustration and saved as an image file. I also used the internet to access and then save images of shop logos and other possible items for sale which I cropped and scaled to size in Publisher. In some cases I had to add colour backgrounds to enhance the images.

I then set the background transparent and cropped it to size. I used the internet to access a background that suited my presentation and saved it to allow it to be cropped and edited to suit my purpose. I then inserted the logos which I has accessed for my leaflet using the internet and the backgrounds of the logos for retailers were set to transparent. Next WordArt was used to introduce the retailers and the logo was imported. Finally everything was rearranged.
