Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Digital Drawing for Landscape Architecture won the “Award of Excellence” from the 2012 Professional Awards and Student Awards by the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA).

For a hundred years, pencil, pen, markers, and watercolor have been the principal tools of representation for landscape architects and urban planners. Today, those hand-powered aids have been replaced by computers and Computer-aided design (CAD). Digital Drawing for Landscape Architects bridges the gap between the traditional analog and the new digital tools and shows you how to apply timeless concepts of representation to enhance your design work in digital media.

Building on the tried-and-true principles of analog representation, Digital Drawing for Landscape Architecture explores specific techniques for creating landscape design digitally. It explains the similarities and differences between analog and digital rendering, and then walks you through the steps of creating digitally rendered plans, perspectives, and diagrams. You’ll explore:

  • Computing Basics
  • Raster and vector images
  • Setting up the document
  • Base imagery and scaling
  • Hand-drawn linework and diagrams
  • Text, leaders, and page layout
  • Color, shading, and textures
  • Creating a section elevation
  • Perspective drawing
  • Techniques for using the newest versions of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat as well as older versions

With more than 500 full-color drawings and photographs alongside proven techniques, Digital Drawing for Landscape Architects will help you enhance your skills though a unique marriage of contemporary methods with traditional rendering techniques.

Book News Annotation:

Cantrell and Michaels are both landscape architects who teach at Louisiana State University and are partners in a digital media training and consulting company. They introduce students and professionals in the field to digital drawing, using approaches and techniques similar to those in the classic texts on pen-and-ink drawing. They use in the text the software tools that they use in their daily practice, noting that others are available and might differ some. The sections cover concepts, base imagery, design diagrams, plan/section renderings, and perspectives. Among specific topics are analog and digital rendering comparisons, setting up the document, custom linework, applying color to a plan rendering, and atmospheric perspective. Color illustrations are used throughout. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis:

Digital rendering is more efficient, flexible, and fast than traditional rendering techniques, causing offices to adapt digital rendering techniques into their daily workflow. Deconstructing the Design Image explores specific techniques, like creating digitally rendered plans, perspectives, and diagrams. This full-color guide provides proven techniques for the new features in Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended and Acrobat Professional, but professionals with older versions can still take full advantage of the content. Design students and professionals will enhance their skills though this unique combination of contemporary methods with traditional rendering techniques.

"Synopsis" by , For a hundred years, pencil, pen, markers, and watercolor have been the principal tools of representation for landscape architects and urban planners. Today, those hand-powered aids have been replaced by computers and Computer-aided design (CAD). Digital Drawing for Landscape Architects bridges the gap between the traditional analog and the new digital tools and shows you how to apply timeless concepts of representation to enhance your design work in digital media.

Building on the tried-and-true principles of analog representation, Digital Drawing for Landscape Architecture explores specific techniques for creating landscape design digitally. It explains the similarities and differences between analog and digital rendering, and then walks you through the steps of creating digitally rendered plans, perspectives, and diagrams. You’ll explore:

  • Computing Basics
  • Raster and vector images
  • Setting up the document
  • Base imagery and scaling
  • Hand-drawn linework and diagrams
  • Text, leaders, and page layout
  • Color, shading, and textures
  • Creating a section elevation
  • Perspective drawing
  • Techniques for using the newest versions of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat as well as older versions

With more than 500 full-color drawings and photographs alongside proven techniques, Digital Drawing for Landscape Architects will help you enhance your skills though a unique marriage of contemporary methods with traditional rendering techniques.
