PHOTOSHOP FOR DESIGN BOARDS

-

 PHOTOSHOP DEVELOPMENT


In Art Portfolio One, I learnt how to use Photoshop. This term I had the liberty to pick from other design board software's but I still used photoshop because it is widely used in the design industry. 







  Since I am starting a new design board series I selected the New File button on the left side of the    screen 


                     I then selected the A3 sheet and changed the orientation to landscape and clicked on create. 


I then searched for a copyright free image on Unsplash but I did not like this image. For my final Art Portflolio design boards I wanted a pastel colour but I did not know what exactly I wanted 

At that moment in order not to waste time I decided to start with the texts while I delibrate on the colour I wanted. 




I then decided to use my concept image as the background, reducing the opacity and layering it with a pastel blue colour. 



Afterwards, I began to develop all the design board by cropping imagesnand editing them when the need arises. I also used Photoshop to type in respective texts for the concept, site plan, demographics as well as the site plan. 


In the image above I was transferring the image to my designboard by selecting the whole image, tapping on edit then copy then I pasted the image on the main design board. I repeated the same process throughout till I finished all my design boards 














































The boards above is the compilation of all the outcomes I worked towards this year. I am very content with the progress I made because I was able to take this project head on in order to produce outcomes using various techniques.

SITE PLAN ANALYSIS

-

                  PROJECT SITE PLAN A site plan is a bird's eye view sketch of a region or area. In order to enhance the site plan, an analysis also has to be made of the climate, transport and accessibility in the town or region.  The map above illustrates the precise location of the Golden Horizon Apartments. It is located in Cromwell, Connecticut directly opposite the St Elizabeth Seton Church. The area of the site is 79,119.77 m² and the total perimeter is 1,138.3 m. The site consists of four main apartment blocks, underground parking, ground-level parking, playground as well as an outdoor lounge not forgetting the garden. The image above is of vegetation that has currently been burnt down. However, in my site plan, I included new layouts of plants that will be cultivated to restore nature's balance. To aid in accessibility there are two roads which are Brooke Street road and the Hawthorn Circle road which residents can use...

FINAL REFLECTION

            REFLECTING ON THE MODULE All too soon the Art Portfolio module and my time at DMUIC has come to an end. This reflection post will be based on Art Portfolio One and Two as well as what I have learnt and improved on as an outgoing DMUIC student  Art Portfolio two started about 10 weeks ago. I was quite excited for the second segment of the Art Portfolio subject so I checked the brief even before school started. I went through my brief and was a bit startled and scared. But I told myself I will take on this challenge head on because I did not want to end my final term on a bad note.  In my Art Portfolio 2 brief I was tasked to design a social housing unit for the residents of New Cromwell because the town was burnt down due to a terrible fire. Right away I knew that I wanted my main Architectural style to be Ultra modern infused with greenery. According to my brief I was supposed to engage in idea generation which I believe was the most d...

LANDSCAPE INSPIRATION/ IDEAS INTO RESEARCH

 LANDSCAPE INSPIRATION WHILST     WALKING ON CAMPUS  On Friday, I left the library at 5am and decided to take some pictures of the environment on campus and the areas near campus. Looking back I realized I can implement some of these designs into my project which are units of social housing blocks.  New Cromwell is an area which was  burnt to the ground due to devastating wild fires which rendered people homeless. Therefore, rebuilding it with the incorporation of nature is a good way to revive the landscape. Horizon Apartments which is the name of my project will features lawns located in the perimeter of the residential zone. The picture above is off the entrance point of the Kimberlin library. The lawn is well trimmed with edges on the side at well. I plan on including this design in my project. There is also a light pole on the left of the picture. At nigh time the light is turned on to aid students in staff in accurate navigation. It will be a goo...
