| Graphic designers are often asked to produce a range of drawings of the same object - drawn to scale. The technique below explains how this can be achieved. | |
 |
1. Select the image to
the be scaled - this may be drawn by hand or produced on computer
software. 2. Draw a grid around the image. The grid is normally composed of squares. Sometimes the grid is labelled with numbers or letters. |
| 3. The enlarged scale is then drawn, including the grid coordinates. The image is then drawn inside the grid, carefully ensuring that it is in proportion with the original. | |
 |
|
| 4. Colour and shade is then added accurately. Computer software can be used to produce accurate drawings that can be scaled very easily. However, scaling by hand drawing is a graphic designers skill, difficult to master. | |
