Document Summary

Management tools: used throughout the design process, used primarily for tracking the project timeline and budget issues, critical path network approach and gantt charts are commonly used, virtually project stages benefit from the attention paid to this concept. Communication tools: used throughout the design process, used for team management,technical coordination and marketing, written,illustrated,animated presented, word,powerpoints,emails,webpages etc, virtually project stages benefit from the attention paid to this concept too. Sketches: used primarily in the first half of the design process, quick and dirty, used to discuss an idea or concept. Low overhead so that you can draw one anywhere. Isometric perspective often best: should be signed and dated. they are the legal individual documents, a key element in almost every development project. 3d modeling: middle phase of design process. Labour intensive: flexibility and potential, discuss new ideas and components of design, marketing ideas and projects, production-tool path generation and 2d drawing generation ergonomic evaluation-rendering, rapid prototype creation testing ideas and strcutural loading.
