Virtual Field Trip Griffith Observatory Coming to the Griffith Observatory for the first time was awesome as it had many amazing view spots from the Hollywood sign to downtown los angels that grabbed people’s attention. The hike up there was very exhausting as it was a summer day but once you make your way up there you fell so mesmerized with how far you can see in the distance that you start to feel so small compared to what’s around you.

ONE POINT PERSPECTIVE ANALOG The design process of creating perspective analog drawings were tricky at times, seeing as how many lines intersect or cross path with one another it can get confusing at times. But as you continue to draw and scale each line, as you navigate through each one, you begin to see our creations come to life. After accomplishing drawing every line, that’s where the fun begins.

Expressing your drawings with color creates the image that we as designers see in our work and want to show to others what it is to make something yours.

TWO POINT PERSPECTIVE ANALOG

AXONOMETRIC VIEW OF ANALOG BACKYARD Our first look at just how awesome it is to draft in axonometric view. This was where I was first impressed and excited to get into drafting our backyard as it was so cool to see our design that is 2-dimensional become 3-dimensional without it physically being just that. It was great to learn just how important axonometric view is for us designers as we continue to use this methods for our next classes and beyond.

PLAN VIEW OF ANALOG BACKYARD Where it all began with visual design class. To think how far we have come, starting the semester with this analog plan to finishing off with rendering this exact same backyard has been an exciting journey. Everything we have learned from this class will help us improve our projects beyond college.

PERSPECTIVE VIEW OF RENDERED BACKYARD Rendering this backyard was my favorite part of visual design class. Being able to grab all sorts of different materials and adding and dropping instantly to bring this backyard to life was so cool. Giving how our technology is expanding as time passes by this seems like a program that should be learned to help evolve our work. Twinmotion is such an incredible software program that I will consider using in my future projects.

SECTION A-A OF BACKYARD USING REAL TEXTURES COMPARED TO ANALOG Exploring ways to design these sections of the backyard with real textures was a great experience into exploring how you can physically understand the details in the work that have been put into it.

With using our own freestyle of textures to our liking, there’s really any style that we can put into our work. As with the plants and trees, playing around with what plants go well with each other was fun to practice and learn from when we begin to design our own projects in the future.

SECTION B-B OF BACKYARD USING REAL TEXTURES COMPARED TO ANALOG Comparing analog with digital is to show how much improvement has occured during the semter. Each section has their own different feel and experience to it, I figured it would be better to switch up some textures that have been used in the other section, as well as adding a couple of different plants.

PLAN OF BACKYARD USING LIVE PAINT Working on digital scaling rather than in analog is faster and easier at times, it still was great that we learned both ways to create this plan with different tools and styles. Given with how much technology has improved so much in the years, it shows just how quick and efficiently it has helped many experienced and learning students how to work on these types of projects.

AXONOMETRIC OF BACKYARD USING LIVE PAINT Digital axonometric with live paint was super fun as we were given creative freedom with our choices of color. What I learned from this project was just how to use shade in certain areas of a specific object and creating a more detailed drawing to give it a more 3-dimensional look that it already is. By applying color to the drawing, it gave it more life to its axon view.

13

SECTION A-A & B-B OF BACKYARD USING LIVE PAINT Working with color on digital drawings helps with our design as it allows us to create our own works even though each one of us have the exact same digital drawing. With color we change how our drawings look to others and gives them an understanding of who created what.

PLAN/AXON/SECTION OF URBAN TOPO 2 Narrative Traveling in a ship, in the mist of winter season crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Temperatures of about 20 to 30 degrees you can hardly feel your hands and feet as you begin your day at life at sea. During your time there you have come to see many things that have cause fear from sharks to barracuda but of the things that have brought fear to you the most is what they call “Iceberg Alley”. Massive icebergs pass by your ship as you fear for your life as the dangers of being near such enormous ice blocks can wreak havoc on those in its path. About 90% of the iceberg is underwater, the sharp hidden ice can easily tear a hole at the bottom of the ship. This is why you must recognize the place when you see it or in a matter of seconds can become the last thing you encounter.

FRONTYARD OF PLANTING LAYOUT For my plant ecology II class, we were giving a planting plant in which we were supposed to populate the resident area filled with various types of plants and trees. This was an ongoing assignment that went the whole semester. Learning ways to mix and match various plants was a big part of the assignment.

BACKYARD OF PLANTING LAYOUT Things I learned from this project were many different botanical names for plants, the rule of planting in opposite numbers rather than even numbers. As using a triangular method that helps make the planting of the plants look more prestige.

SECTION OF PLANTING LAYOUT This project was more focus on the planting areas on both front and back of this home. As you dive into the section portion of the planting layout, you begin to see just how much detail has gone into this project. With a blend of colors from front to back of this section helps bring this residential area to life.

Giving how we will be working constantly with plants in our careers it was a good experience for us to get to know just how important plants and trees are in a landscape project.
