My t-shirt design looked as if I had drawn it with my mouth and with closed eyes.

Haha same ere!
But really a Bicycle T-Shirt design? That's lame as hell! We so got stuck with the worst design choice out of the past exams >_>

Also what did people do for question 2 Form, Scale and Proportion?

Additionally, how were we meant to differentiate between the isometric drawing and the two-point perspective in question 1 (usually such a gimme question, I know)?

Yep, VCAA seems to like bicycles!

For form I made the eye shape three dimensional through tone; for scale I made the depiction much smaller than it was originally; for proportion I made the square part only a lot smaller than it was originally. I'm not sure that I did any of them correctly, though - I'm still not entirely clear in regard to scale and proportion.

For the Orthogonal question, since it was 3 marks, its suggestive you need to fill in 3 things. Since only two missing lines were identified, adding the orthogonal symbol would give the third mark.

For the isometric usb housing, the majority of the hidden lines would not be visible in isometric view, so ideally they may have been there to trick you. however you were required to draw an inserted hole at the back.

In Question 1. Isometric was no. 3 and two point no. 1. In my opinion, both were poorly represented by the vcaa however since no. 3 maintains the 30/30 parallel lines, its best that one was isometric

yea, question 1, twopoint was unclear but i guess that is just vcaa being vcaa.
and im pretty sure there are only 2 lines  for the orthogonal question + the symbol.

I found three missing lines, one was on each view. Two of them were hidden lines (the diagonal one on the side view and one for the bottom of the key hole on the top view)and one was a solid line (on the front view) to represent the slope.

Unless I'm wrong on the missing lines... I don't think we had to draw the symbol in? :-\

I was of the opinion that none of the lines presented were thirty degrees, and (considering that the scale was not large enough to notice any convergence of lines) after much deliberation I went the other way. Catch you later, gimme two marks.  :(

It said the lines on the object not the whole drawing, and yeah there was 3 lines missing. It didn't ask for you to draw the orthogonal symbol.

There were definitely three lines in the orthog.

maybe your right. i may have missed a third line

What did everyone write for the question about a consideration or constraint from the Moonlight/Ford Fiesta design?

Time constraints of completing the requirements of the brief as the Cinema screenings were 'in Summer', and hence they had to finish before that so that the client had adequate time to effectively promote.

Didn't VCAA include that Moonlight Cinema thing in previous (forgot when exactly) year's exam? Or was it a practice that I did?

Yeah, I thought I recognised that too!
