In this modern age, there is very little need for anyone to use a pen or pencil when they have time to spare. Instead it is most common to use computers to perform drawing or illustration tasks, when it is not necessary that you get an image completed in a few seconds, in which case a pen and paper would be best suited.

In this regard, the use of computers for CAD tasks is, as the name suggests, the perfect fit. Using a computer to make drawings, plans or images of a space or object is perfect. Computers allow you to modify or edit an image or virtual object, manoeuvring it within a virtual 3D space, and thus printing images from a variety of angles without having to re draw the image.

Image manipulation

Once an image has been created and manipulated to the desired angle or style, you can easily print multiple copies of said image as you please as long as you have sufficient paper supplies, such as wide format paper and the correct type of printer, such as the canon ipf6300 ultra high quality printer.

Once you have the correct equipment to produce prints, you’re well on your way to creating many brilliant images at a high quality as and when you need them.

If you compare productivity levels with the pre computer aided design years, the comparison is incredible.

Think about the amount of time it would take you to create 50 different images of a product or architectural model, all from different angles. One drawing alone, even in the hands of a skilled and quick artist, would take at least a few hours, factoring in thinking time to conceptualise the building or object from the desired angle.

Time taken

Think again about re doing this process for each angle required, being completely sure each time that the way that you are conceptualising the object is completely correct in regard to angles and positioning of specific features.

This would take an additional half an hour to an hour for each new angle or viewpoint.

Add this all together and you have a few weeks worth of work minimum. Compare this to using a computer aided method. This route would require a few hours of intense design time, making sure that the model is perfect on the screen. After this, all that you would need to do is spend a few seconds or minutes repositioning the model on the screen before hitting the print button and having a printed image within seconds or minutes depending on the image type.

In total, the hand drawn method would take at very minimum a week or two, whereas the computer aided method would take a day or two at very most. The choice is almost made for you.

Question by kay: Do you see any problems or advantages of using computer images of fabrics versus the actual samples? when selecting materials for a real life scenario? What are the factors that you would keep in mind while using computer images of fabrics for selection? Provide rationale for your answers. Best answer for Do you see any problems or advantages of using computer images of fabrics versus the actual samples?:

Answer by eskie lover
Often you cannot see the actual weave which can make a difference. Computer generated images cannot replicate texture well and you can never see the other side of the fabric, either. Sometimes the print of a fabric runs different to the weave or texture and that can make a difference in the application depending on what else is happening in the room, what other fabrics you are using and even in the real world use of the fabric. And then there is the hand of the fabric. By that we mean, how does the fabric actually feel against the skin. If the hand is rough, it may not be suitable for say, a dining room chair cushion but it might be great for an ottoman.

Answer by oneidacarpetguy
I see lots of potential problems! Colors may not be the same and I would want to feel the texture and weight of any fabric before I buy. A computer image can't tell you about the quality, and some fabrics have different shades or a different s heen that just can't be duplicated on paper. The only advantage would be that if you don't know what you want,you can try lots of samples to narrow down the choices.

Answer by David, Why?
Dear Kay, Each Monitor (or TV screen, for that matter) is tuned differently, SO they will not return the same color even when fed the same value (hexidecimal color definition) Looking at several TV screens in Circuit City will illustrate this fact. That being said, it WILL get you into the ball park... THEN follow up with swatches. If you are asking, with plans to market something of color, online, then I believe the only answer is a money-back guarantee. USUALLY people will be satisfied. The FEW people who will exersize that privilege will not put you out of business and the guarantee will free other's up to give you a try. Here's our policy: http://throwmeapillow.com/Returns_Policy.html just a side point... A Woman's clothing color choices are her best bets for home decor colors! Every woman should keep a clipping of their favorite old garment, before they throw it away! more tips on color at: http://throwmeapillow.com/Tips_and_Articles.html Hope that helps... not sure where you're coming from... buying or selling...?
