Unlike with the Model-It! module, the final presentation for this module was to create a composition of the drawings for your chosen house.
Because the plan oblique covered part of the floor plan, I decided to include it in the presentation. By setting it at the same angle (by overlaying it in Photoshop so that it the angle and size matched) I wished to make a connection between the two, and make it easier for a viewers eyes to compare the two.

| Draw-It! presentation poster (A1) |
I separated the poster into a top and bottom section to separate between architectural drawings and renders. The southern elevation was also aligned above the plan oblique to compare the slight difference between the north and south facing, while the west elevation was set to the right on purpose to suggest that that is the corresponding elevation following the one below it.
I chose to draw more attention to the perspective by enlarging it so that anyone looking at the poster would immediately and simply see the overall idea of the building before focusing on more detailed drawings. I felt this reflected how one would use different font sizes and styles to grab a readers attention in an article and set a hierarchy in the text.
In hindsight, and following feedback from my tutors, I see that the black blocks do not add anything to the poster in the way of directing ones attention, and actually draw too much to themselves in their thickness and greater boldness than the drawings. There is also a disparity in the drawing styles due to the perspective, which now I understand. One of my challenges was to create a coherent space that didn't appear too empty, however I see how I could have used the white space more uniformly, rather than it having no structure and focusing on the arrangements of the drawings only.
I hope to improve with my next poster.
