storyboard etc


Hi Michael

thanks for asking, i am actually preparing a lecture 
for monday to explain those things a bit more in detail
but for now:

the storyboard should visually explain 
how your bird'house' is made
where it is placed
how it might be used
you might also consider it as an illustrated users manual
but a manual is a complicated thing to produce
and therefore i called it storyboard

it does not have to have the same scale than the drawings
it does not have to be on card board
you can use drawings and/ or photographs
but you have to develop a consistent graphic language
i will show you samples and put them on the blog
after lecture on m-day.

the drawings do not have to be technical to the final detail
but they have to display basic and necessary technicalities, 
as you have to build the 'house' 
that should be no problem
the artistic part can also come into the storyboard

generally:
no borders
no big name signatures 
(but your name has to be on the work)
keep it simple and beautiful
remember: the model is very very important here.
it has to be carefully assembled and well made.
good luck

Good day Ki-ki

I wanted to drop this email and ask you a few questions about the project.
With the storyboards, are they meant to be the same size as the drawings and must they be on cardboard.
And also are the drawings meant to be technical or creative? I know its design but I just want to double check.
I will forward your reply to the class.
Many thanks
