    This document provides instructions for an exercise to display construction materials in a rack using multiple programs. Students will model one type of construction material set in Rhino, export drawings to Illustrator to adjust line weights, and layout the modeled elements, name, dimensions and other information about each material in an InDesign file. The final output is a JPEG of the materials rack submitted by a deadline. Proper layout, flow, sizing and ordering of materials on the page are left to the student's design.

    modeling presentation
    ex1-2 : Displaying the Materials Rack

    exercise goals

    To elaborate upon already established skills of graphic communication. The assignment will
    focus on information management and display. This exercise will also further the students ability
    to use multiple programs to achieve a design goal.

    performance procedure

    a) Using the file from ex1-1, each individual student will pick a material type construction
    set [STEEL, MASONRY, or WOOD]. You will work with that ONE construction set for the
    remainder of this exercise.

    b) Using only an AXONOMETRIC view, arrange the elements so that all are visible in your
    modeling frame. Make sure that lines are parallel and their is no great visual distinction
    in perspective of the pieces.

    c) Use the technique shown in class to obtain line drawings of the construction elements in
    a .DXF file. Bring this file into Illustrator and begin editing line weights.

    d) In InDesign make a new file named 3341_Sect094_XXX_Ex1-2.indd This file will be


    11 x17 portrait or landscape orientation. In this file you will use your skills in graphic
    presentation to intelligently and efficiently layout the various elements from your
    modeled construction set. The following information must be included:

    1) Drawing: model of construction element with corrected line weights from Illustrator
    2) Tag: name of the construction element
    3) Tag: dimensions of the construction element
    4) Tag: any additional information from your research of the construction element
    5) Name of the construction set

    e) This assignment must be submitted as a JPEG on your blog by the beginning of class on
    Tuesday, Sept 8th.

    /* Notes */

    Remember that the point of this exercise is to present a visual catalog of various elements. How
    these things flow on the page, how they are ordered and how they are sized are up to you. The
    only real restraints for this project are that it must be within the dimensions of 11 x 17, it must
    include all the above date, and it must reflect the graphic design standards that you learned on
    previous assignments of this nature.
