Book Piece: Research & Development of idea


1. Research

The reason why I chose the book is that it helps me recall the methods and effects of hand-drawn architectural drawings when I need them.



cover of ' Architectural Graphics'
This book was written by Francis D. K. Ching (2015), who started with building hand sketching tools and systematically described how to draw different drawings to show buildings. 
The body of the book consists of 10 chapters, the main content of which can be illustrated by pictures.


2. Development of Idea & Making

Since this is a book about hand-drawn architectural drawings, I can combine the author's head pictures drawn by my own hand with a picture in this book to make the final piece of this project with PS.

Firstly, I searched for his head picture online and found a hand-drawn head picture.
author's head pictures
Then, the author's head pictures drawn by my own hand.

Next, I chose a picture from the book.
his work of the book
Then, I put them in Photoshop.
In China, the number "3" sometimes represents the majority.
This is his book, and he is everywhere in this book.
So, I have three of them in this painting.

Next, I added the name of the book and the name of the author to the edge of the picture.


I tried different combinations of text and found that horizontal text is probably better.

Finally, I finished the final piece.

  1. The image reference should also be in Harvard format. Your post here would need more technical commentary on the process; what tools and effects you are using in Photoshop to create your piece and much more depth of critical analysis on the work as it progressed. There's very little development here, which is something you must consider in your assessed project work. The research is also something that needs to go beyond the chosen book and as we discussed in class you could have used this as an opportunity to use your own drawing skill to interpret the brief and the theme of the chosen book.
