Top 10 Tips

On Wednesday, each student presented tips that they find useful when they are designing, and producing. Of those tips the top 10 I found most helpful were...

1) Create an order to your presentation -- tell a story

2) Write and document as your project progresses -- don't wait until the last minute.

3) Projecting your elevations and sections from plans save heaps of time

4) Purge hidden geometry when using sketch up to increase work speed

5) "Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow -- that is patience"

6) Learn when to walk away from your work.

7) Take a break. Sleep. Eat.

8) Miter box to help cut balsa, or bass wood

9) Keep diagrams clear and simple

10) Variation in color and gradients on a board. Make line weights extreme, and test print.
