DES100 - Reverse Engineering
1) 3D Model
I did not produce a 3D model of my object (Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3) as I am not able to break it apart and see all the parts, however I did label and explain all the visible parts through my specification drawings. I took inspiration from Samsung's official website for my photographs I took to base around for my specification drawings.
I tried to take clear photos displaying the main features of the phones exterior design, as I am not able to take it apart. 
2) Specification Drawings
1.
Dimensions:
When Folded: 158.2 x 67.1 x 16.0mm (Hinge) - 14.4mm (Sagging)
Unfolded: 158.2 x 128.1 x 6.4mm
Weight 271g

Large Screen (7.6 inches):
The phone features a main display (Large Screen), which is 7.6 inches diagonally. When in rectangle it measures 7.4 inches. The large screen has a 4MP (2560 pixels wide x 1440 pixels high) under display camera.  

Cover Screen (6.2 inches):
The phone also features a cover display (Small screen), which is 6.2 inches diagonally. When in rectangle it measures 6.1 inches. The cover screen has a normal 10MP (3872 pixels wide by 2592 pixels high) selfie camera. 

The phone's screen have Gorilla Glass Victus material on them, which is durable and scratch resistant. 

These are the main parts of the phone looking at the first specification drawing above. When drawing this I made sure I included all the important measurements featured to show as much information as possible. I tried to make it look as simple as possible to perfectly show drawings of the exterior components of the phone. 

The phones frames and hinges is made out of the material Armor Aluminum making it durable/strong and also water resistant. The color of the phone is Phantom Green. 
2.
For specification drawing 2 I show the backside of the phone where the components of the camera are shown most. It features the three camera lenses called Ultra Wide Camera, Wide Angle Camera, and Telephoto Camera, as shown in the specification drawing 2. 

Over here the main focus on my mind was to show the camera more because its the only important exterior component behind the phone. 
3.
For specification drawing 3 I featured the side profiles of the phone. In the drawing on the left it shows the hinge side of the phone where the phone folds. In the right drawing it has more important exterior components, which are the Sim card slot, Volume button, and Power button. 
I tried to replicate all the original photographs in the beginning into Specification drawings and labelling all the important exterior components of the phone, as I am not able to take it apart. I tried to make it simple and not fancy so I can represent the important components of the phone clearly. I wanted to include all the important measurements of the phone from from being folded and not folded to show more detailed information. I wanted to also include as much information about the important exterior features of the phone such as the display screens, as I felt it is important to also state this. 
Equipment I used throughout the assignment was Ruler, Pencil, Phone, Green Coloring Pencil, Phone for photos, and Pencil Sharpener. 
3) Final Rendered 3D Drawing
I chose to draw this as my best rendered drawing because in my opinion it best describes the phone and its ability to fold. It looks aesthetic and simple. I used the same color (Phantom Green) as the phone original appearance to make it realistic. 

Reflection:
Things I learnt from this project was to be more detailed and precise so I can produce good work. It is also a good habit to build in my opinion when doing design. Another thing I learnt was was the ability to draw simple yet effective drawings that displayed useful information which I have never done before which was quite nice.
