Design gráfico de flashcards para o ensino de modelos e protótipos no campo de Design

Abstract

This project proposes the creation of a set of flash cards aimed at Design students, especially those taking the courses Oficina de Modelos I and II at the Federal University of Uberlândia. The idea came from the need to make learning about models and prototypes more accessible, visual, and practical. The flash cards are divided into four main categories: concept, which explains the differences between prototype, mockup, scale model, and enlarged model; purpose, which indicates at what stage of the project each of these elements is most useful; techniques, offering simple and objective tutorials on how to carry out the processes taught in class; and tools, presenting the instruments used in practical activities, along with an image and a brief explanation of how and when to use each one. This project was designed as a complementary learning resource that can be used both in and out of the classroom, aiming to make students’ daily routines easier and help reinforce key concepts.
