Isometric is a pictorial view of a 3 dimensional object. There are 3 coordinate axes that are viewed in a way that the angles of projection are 120 degrees.

Perspective is a geometric method of representing objects that are actually 3 dimensional in 2 dimensional. For example making objects appear smaller the further they are.

Oblique is a type of graphical projection. It produces an image by intersecting parallel rays using 2 dimensional images of 3 dimensional images.

Orthographic is a view from only one side of an image.( front, back or side) Thus, it takes several views to view the entire object.

    ADMT Lesson 1: Personal Reflection

    To me, ADMT means to design art using media and technology. An ADMT student be willing to learn, to be creative and have an open mind. My aspiration as an ADMT student to find out how to design things using technology creatively and to apply those skills in my life. I can achieve my aspiration by listening in class and trying to find out more about the public preferences using the Internet to help me design the most user-friendly product.
    I sketched the following picture as I think that without art and design, the world is just blak and white, no colours at all. There is no life.
