Contest Brief

I'm looking for a partner to create 50-100 technical drawings. This contest is to help find a partner to work with on that project!

For this contest, I'm asking you to create one single drawing: an exploded, isometric technical drawing based on a text description. As a test for this project, we're using the following description below. A sample drawing is attached.

First, a definition of terms:
- technical drawing: The drawing should be all black and white. Line drawings only - no shading or hash / hatch marks. You can use different line weights.
- isometric: the drawing should set the object at an angle (approximately 30deg), but should not use perspective. IE, parallel lines on the object should be parallel in the drawing. Google this term for more details if needed.
- exploded view: the drawing should show the component parts separately, but in line to where they connect to the larger body.Google this term for more details if needed.
The sample drawing shows a good example: it is a black and white, isometric, exploded view. Our drawings will not need to be this complicated!

MEDIA: You can use any software or media to create the drawing. At the end, you should have a vector-based image (PDF, EPS, AI file, etc.) that can be scaled up to any size without loss of resolution. You can create the images by hand and then recreate them in a vector format, or if you want you can use a 3D modeling system.

DESCRIPTION: Here is the description to create your drawing from. In this example, a man is describing how he made a raft / boat out of barrels.

"We very soon found four large casks, made of sound wood and strongly bound with iron hoops. I sawed them across the middle, creating eight tubs. My eight tubs now stood ranged in a row.

I next procured a long thin plank on which my tubs could be fixed, and the two ends of this I bent upwards so as to form a keel. Other two planks were nailed along the sides of the tubs; they, also being flexible, were brought to a point at each end, and all firmly secured and nailed together, producing a kind of narrow boat, divided into eight compartments.

I contrived outriggers to preserve the balance, by nailing long poles across at the stem and stern, and fixing at the ends of each empty cask."

  Hi, do you need all those red lines? Normally we don't use such lines in our exploded views.
