PRESENTATION FORMATS • Asymmetrical layout works best in presenting symmetrical designs. • Centralized formats are suitablewhen presenting a plan surrounded by elevation views, an expanded para line drawing, or a key drawing surrounded by detailed portions drawn at alarger scale. • If aseries of drawings are treated in different ways or are of different types, you can unify them by framing or boxing t hemin a uniform manner. • We candisplay drawings horizontally with text below eachdrawingto form related columns. • Avoid using adouble or triple frame around adrawing. Doing so can create the impression of a figure on a background that itself has a background. Attention would be diverted from the figure, where it belongs, to theframe around it.
