Technical Drawings

Paper vs Machine

Working on both from paper to cad at the moment, updating my main a1 with a3 supplements taped over my A1 scanned in with a scale. think the simpler route is to do by hand then you have something tangible and less problematic.

Seating

 Difficulty in finding really nice seating that one can relax in - might try a hammock!  Though contemplating a deckchair on a similar system to supermarket trollies or perhaps Boris' bikes...

business cards & headed paper

I got the inspiration for the business card while I was working out the contours and scaling of my site.  I wanted to produce a card that would be associated with Landscape Architecture.

First hand drawn, then Autocad with curves before settling on the more angular style, rendered in photoshop for landscape elements, sky water and land.Then annotated it in inDesign and submitted it on PDF.
