Added texts to the Tractor infographic. Texts were found on logs justin log cory shenk´s log and in wiki pages lifetrac bobcat standard bobcat standard quick attach for lifetrac. Given the amount of information available, I had to reorganize the layout of graphic to make room for the highlighted component sketches.

Working on latakoo public channel branding, reviewing available options for customization of the page look. Looked around the GVCS high resolution page for background images, these are great by the way, and hopefully in the future more people will add quality captures to this page.

Completed tractor sketch to insert in machine infographic on dozuki. Nice!-MJ

design sprint notes: currently on the dozuki, the cnc torch table is the template we´ll be using for further development of machine documentation. Fred pointed towards a couple of different software solutions for a delegation model tree structure that would allow for future collaborators to more readily step into ongoing OSE projects. we´re looking for more graphic designers/illustrators to collaborate on the creation of machine infographics, perhaps through an online platform similar to 99 designs (enfasis on the similar).

Listened in for most of the design sprint. With regards to documentation, the idea of a more siloed structure for updating information on the wiki was proposed in order to better keep track of the different prototype versions being built, especially when multiple builds are going on simultaneously, perhaps by managing different levels of contribution access.

We also looked over Tibor´s machine dashboard information template which, once the forms are filled in, formats the information for easy pasting into the wiki dashboard for that machine, or dozuki, and should make updating information easier with more consistent results across the site. A style/look/feel for these texts hasn´t been agreed upon yet.

After some more reading and video viewing I eventually realized there was documentation available for the second prototype of the CNC torch table already under construction with an new table and gantry structure. During that process I generated these two pages of skecthes sketchbook page 1&sketchbook page 2

Started familiarizing myself with the CNC torch table based on information found here on the wiki and generated the first sketches for the machine infographic

Conducted a quick survey of what information graphics for this product categor look like. (link to pdf documentation of design process needs to be pasted here or embedded from issuu.com)

Listened in on the design sprint about gas delivery system for the CNC torch table

Goals for the coming week (15 - 19 July)

• Create infographic for CNC torch table (final graphic/artwork sent to Rob K. and Marcin on 24-07-2013) add link here

1. information to include

• an image of the machine
• images of the components/parts
• text labels for components/parts
• text general description

2. design considerations

• keep in mind formatting and layout issues for future infographics for all 50+ OSE machines
• these infographics should give even newcomers to OSE a general overview of each machine
• questions to answer in the infographic

• ¿how is it scalable?
• ¿how is it modular?
• which other machines is it related to (machine ecosystem)

• Create icons for six CNC torch table dozuki documentation categories (on hold as of 23-07-2013)

1. plasma cutter integration
2. stepper driver
3. stepper motor controller
4. table structure
5. torch height control
6. universal tool mounting

• Follow along and do sketchup tutorial nº2 (watched on of 26-07-2013)

Added on more graphic (generic hose routing schematic) to backhoe dozuki documentation. backhoe categories

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Thursday, 11 July, 2013

Added two more graphics (boom and dipper stick) to backhoe dozuki documentation. backhoe categories

Mocking up sample guides for backhoe dipper stick for further discussion backhoe categories

Added preliminary blueprint style images (dipper stick, bucket, pivot, stabilizer leg) to Dozuki[2] Backhoe guide[3] main category headings. [4]

note:

• Size for dozuki guide images 800 x 600px minimum
• Size for dozuki category images 592 x 444px minimum
• Watch out when naming categories (and maybe guides as well) for the first time!! the title text will determine the URL of the category, so if future changes are made (and this might be due to my privilege settings) the URL name won´t update with the change in title. For example, clicking on the first link in this log entry will take you to a URL ending in "how_to_build_a_boom" even though the on screen title is "Dipper stick part guides".

Process sequence:

1. rough sketch [5] the component with black ballpoint
2. scan it at 300dpi
3. drop it into photoshop on top of blue print background (add link to file here)
4. invert image color (shortcut command PC: Ctrl + i)
5. mask off extraneous lines to clean it up a bit
6. trace the basic outline with the pen tool
7. select the traced outline and fill with background blue and add a drop shadow.
8. save for web at 1890 x 1299px (roughly 756kb)
