Hardworks and Softworks Plan

Well, I'd been working on these plans for ages.  The soft plan I have not been happy with as it was really busy, but worst of all at the crit on last Monday, I was told if I can't fit the writing in there, you've got too many plants.  I had a big isue with this comment as we are ment to be designing a fully successional planting scheme.  You can't do that with six plants......well you could I suppose, but it would be pretty boring.

Anyway here is the first pinned up planting plan which I showed at the crit.....

I don't know whether if you will be able to see the detail on the blog, but here is the refned version I made after a inspiring tutorial by Julia Fogg and my colleagues.  There is still ore to do, I need to increase my numbers and place the text into the boxed areas.  This will make things even clearer to read.

I then tackled the hardlandscape plan which I thought was there, but I realise I need to still improve a few line weight issues, add my detail markers and change the hatching to actuall paving showing how it would be laid.  so here is how it stood today befor I make these changes.

I actually really like the technical side because I like to solve design problems.  There is the nice part of creativity and pretty pictures, but knowing something is going to work and that somebody picking up your plans gets it, and can transform those ideas into reality is great.  So 'BIG UP' the technical side of things!!!

Anyway....off to upload the images of my model at the end of a very long day, yet I still have loads of drawings of plants to to scan and get onto the computer.....the night has only just begum!
