Well I have 3 drawing sheets for it, pretty much followed what it said on the exam brief. First page had orthographic views, basic plan, elevation and end view. Second one is rendered pictorial, which is just one or two isometric views which are shaded in/rendered... and then for the third sheet I did exploded views. i might add details like broken lines, balloon reference and parts list on to the drawings later... well that's what I did for it anyway, hope it helps
Project is coming along nicely, hoping to finish the concept design this week, then all I have to do is tidy up a few things here and there

Hey thanks for getting back to me, I will probably do something similar but I just wondered what you mean by balloon reference and parts list??
Glad to hear your project is coming along well, I am finishing up over the christmas holidays, our teacher said we have the holidays to finalise everything and no more proj. work after christmas, I think things are going ok, I am following the brief so by rights I should get a high grade but I guess the examiner has a lot of discretion regards presentation and the likes too so hard to know 0 -

You know how in the instruction thingy for flat pack furniture or whatever you get a number for each part and then in the drawing all the parts are numbered? that's pretty much what balloon reference is, you'd know it straight away if you saw it... and you can add the parts list to the drawings somehow xD it's pretty much just fancy stuff that can get you those few more marks
No prob, kinda good to get the project over and done with before the pres and everything gets hectic 0 -

I know what you mean... I am looking through the marking scheme here and all the views mentioned I have included, do you reckon its pretty hard for them to give me any less than 15 out of 15 if I cover all those spots and the presentation is OK?0 -

I actually feel slightly sick hearing ye all so relaxed and calm about the project! I sort of skimmed over the design comparison an research stuff (so that's needs revisiting but hey at least I can do that at home!) then I clearly have spent WAAAYYY too much time on my existing design, now while I'm very proud of the finished product there's only a finite amount of allocated marks! I've no sketching done for that either! Then moving to the conceof design, I've a theme and target market and good original features thought up of but have no idea of the general form of it!

I dont see how the results arent outstanding for this project to be honest... everyone in my class (over 20) have done excellent projects as far as I can see, so by rights should be 15 or so A projects, seems ridicolous so I guess there is something I dont know about how it is marked? where are people messing up?0 -

I cant get any relevant info on the lectern from the internet. The timeline is the hardest, i finished part A last week, this is what i did - http://www.google.ie/imgres?hl=en&tbo=d&biw=1093&bih=471&tbm=isch&tbnid=XzLaLCboFPG2BM:&imgrefurl=http://www.craftaustralia.org.au/library/review.php%3Fid%3Daustralian_studio_furniture_40years&docid=ASIYk9KwQiyILM&imgurl=http://www.craftaustralia.org.au/library/docfiles/reviews/australian_studio_furniture_40years/images/10%252520Gray%252520Hawk,%252520Lectern%252520for%252520the%252520Franciscan%252520Brothers%252520Chapel,%252520Adelaide,%2525202001.jpg&w=299&h=500&ei=ekbCUKfZEcrDhAfZyYCABA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=550&vpy=48&dur=66&hovh=290&hovw=173&tx=103&ty=250&sig=113179445049953529537&page=3&tbnh=142&tbnw=84&start=28&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:43,s:0,i:211
Any way could someone please help me with the powerpoint part as i need the points because i want to do design manufacture in College, would be very much appreciated, thanks.
My lord! That Part B looks very complicated!
For the power point presentation, just create a layout i.e. Heading (Research and Investigation), a background like a square for your borders and maybe add colour to it. Keep it like as it will look ugly with text and pictures in it. Use Part A Output 1 (R & I) for each page rather than page numbers. The examiner will see that you understand the portfolio well. That's the layout sorted. For each page, choose a title that suits it.
For the Timeline, just take pictures from say Ancient Rome and then Mediviel Ireland, then early 1800's lectern and so on until you reach the present. You will only need 6 pictures for it. With each picture, explain how it changed/revolved from the previous lectern and why. Just basically analyse it as much as you can but in a brief paragraph. You don't need anything for Output 4-6. On 7, you can either make a doodle of your inspiration or interests or take pictures from the internet with a reason why you liked this i.e. a leaf. Someone might like it because it's eco or it's green. This could lead them to draw a lectern based on the leaf by stems. You'd be surprised what people actually like rather than the usual football or cars.
Output 8 is freehand sketch of your Part B and Output 9 is the comparison between the two parts of A and B. Say what did you do here and there and why.
Hope this helps you well and if you don't understand something, let me know 0 -
Thats my Part A!!! Thank you so much for replying. i nearly have the timeline done now only just to get a bit of historic info on the time when the light was first used in the lectern. i have all my part A solidworks and orthographic views done only for to do a rendered sketch. i have an idea for part B but i dont know if it will work. we will see. Amm id say the analysis of brief and compare and contrast pages wont be too bad. For the compare and contrast page, should i compare my one with a modern lectern or a not-so-modern lectern?? Thanks again for replying!! 0

Output 9 is the same as output 4 and 5. You do your design in solidworks and produce the drawings for it. If it is a concept design it only has to be made out of one part if you want you do not have to make 5 parts here if you do not want to. It is not a comparison0 -

Yeah, try to have a primary photo (a photo that you took at say the Church or the library. You have to have an image of the lectern that you will draw for your Part A and a primary photo. It's not necessary to have a modern lectern with multimedia and touchscreens but it's nice to have it.0 -
