Rendering of Product Concept

Create a rendering of your product concept. The goal is to create a drawing that best communicates the technology of your concept to someone who is not on the immediate team.

Renderings should be on 8-1/2 by 11 paper. Pick a rendering style which you feel is appropriate to best communicate your concept. Text should be kept to a minimum as this is an exercise in communicating through graphics. Rendering can be done by hand or with a computer-based rendering package. If applicable, include views that show product in use.

Use this rendering in your presentations and reports as the single graphic which best describes your product. Revise the rendering as the design evolves.

If you have more than one concept, make more than one rendering.

You may wish to consult books on product rendering, or consult with an industrial designer to learn about communicating product concepts through rendering.

Archive the original drawing and submit one color hard copy.

Submit the hard copy before the class starts and be prepared to describe it to the entire class in about 30 seconds, starting at 8:00 am. The rendering will be displayed on the document projector.
