Assignment 1: Axonometric Drawing
Lego Pistol
Final Lego Design
The lego is created using monotone lego bricks. I am inspired by a lego pistol tutorial online and created my own version of the pistol.

Raw Drawing
After deciding on the perspective of each lego bricks, I drew it on the isometric grid paper. I also scanned the drawing into Photoshop to make it cleaner and illustrate better.
Lego Instruction Design
Reference
As my lego pistol is more complex and has many pieces of lego, I decided to follow the two references above with a simply illustrated lego build for each steps. This helps the person who builds the lego by providing them with visual assist and refers to the position of each brick through the illustration.
Final Illustrated Lego Instruction Design
Hi Cerine! I really like your gun build hahaha, its pretty and interesting to play with. For the instruction manual part, I think you should avoid using the angle that some parts cannot be seen clearly, or identify the certain parts more detailed. Besides that I like the whole work!!!
Raw Drawings
– Drawings are generally well drawn however the circles on the vertical face may be improved.
Instruction Manual
– Instruction could have been broken up into more steps for easier reading
– The steps could be made clearer by differentiating the pieces to be added with the pieces that have already been fixed, perhaps by fading out the pieces that have already been fixed.
– some steps would have been helped by floating the pieces that have yet to be fixed with joining arrows.
– There also needs to be consistency in representing the already fixed pieces, for example in the very first step, the pieces are identified as 1×4, but at step 2, those same pieces now do not have the dividing line between the 1×4 pieces, hence not helping to locate them.
On the whole, the build is interesting, raw drawings are done decently, but the instruction has room for improved.
