A finished 1-500

Took me nearly as long to annotate it as it did to render it! never mind, have to annotate my sections from yesterday In the next hour wish me luck!!



Here we go - 1-500 re- rendered,


I set myself a target to get this finished by 6, which I have achieved, finally something on target, just all the rest now!! 



Hopefully this is better than the last one, its definatly clearer and bolder, still struggling with planting, not sure what to do really at this scale, but just see what the feed back is, need to work on my building render but not sure how to do that either, OHHHHHHH

1-2000 - re done


This is a huge improvement on the last one which was done at 7 in the morning on the day of the crit, with no sleep, so surely it must be better, but here it is, I did also do another one which I decided not to carry on with which I will put up as well, not much else to report really, BLOODY SHATTERED

Website - Done and Link

After monday, the last couple of days have just been a hazy, felt hungover, after working so hard for so long, it takes a while to get back to the real world, if there is even a real world out there. Feel so disconnected from people and normal routines, feels very strange. Rather than just doing nothing for the past couple of days, we have been sorting out everything around the house, things that have just had to wait for the past 3 weeks, and today have managed to sort out the website for advanced representation, its just simple, I was going to try and use the new adobe software called Muse, its worth a look as its free at the moment, looks like it works just like indesign, you just add pages as you would do when making a document or anyhting, but just for ease for now have used a free website maker called wix.com nice and simple, yet frustrating but thats free software for you, here is my link, Its nothing you havnt seen on here really but gotta keep ticking things off!  http://www.wix.com/benchandler/landscape-designs

Gonna get everything sorted tonight for the next week and a half and right a schedule, this ones gonna be a tight schedule.

see you on the other side,

Section 4 done - This looks how I feel!!! - Good night

This is it for tonight, way to tired to carry on, this one is poor, and needs a lot of work but have no energy left now, only 11 hours work today but oh well at least they are done, just a whole day of annotating to go and finish rendering my plan, do a schedule for my planting plan and we thought we were nearly there but oh no just looked at the brief for the pin up and realised we should have re-done our 1-200 plan and sections along with the 1-200 model, there was no chance of getting that done as well, no where near enough hours in a day for that as well, but it does show that for this crit we will have all the 1-50 criteria where as for the 1-200 we had hardly nothing, all because we cut down our paid work down to one day a week over the last 3 weeks, but at the end of the day you gotta eat!!! good night!!
