Orthographic projection and isometric projection
are two ways to show three-dimensional objects
in a two-dimensional space, such as on a piece
of paper or a computer screen. Each method
gives a different perspective. Do some research
and then compare and contrast the two methods
for displaying three-dimensional shapes. Then
try your hand at creating both types of
projections for a simple geometric shape using
paper pencil and a ruler.

In your opinion, what are the pros and cons of
each projection? What are the limitations? In
which circumstances, environments, or
occupations is one type of projection likely
preferred over the other? Describe any special
tools that might be needed to create the
projection. Which projection is easiest for you to
interpret visually? Why?
