How to make landscape architecture portfolio

The production steps of landscape architecture portfolio are as follows:

1, cover

The cover is the first impression of the portfolio to the examiner, so the style should not be too casual or fancy, just plain. In the selection of cover pictures, I often use my most satisfactory project pictures, and form a cover with words through PS simple processing.

2. Contents

There are two forms of common catalogs: one is to directly describe the name of each item in words, but make minor adjustments in the color, font size and font style of the words; The second type is text+picture, simple PS processing, with text, forming a cover.

3. Resume

Resumes generally introduce their professional views, focusing on what their abilities are, such as software ability, hand-drawing ability, and highlighting their abilities with typesetting.

4. Design works

(1), the source of inspiration

Of course, the soul of the portfolio is the design itself, so it is best to show some tangled ideas as much as possible when designing. This does not mean all design ideas, but the focus is on expressing the source of inspiration and how to apply inspiration to practice to solve problems.

There are many ways to express inspiration. According to the different brainstorming modes of everyone, the final result is quite different: it can be a series of hand-drawing, the evolution of a series of models, or the split and reorganization of the actual plot.

(2) the background of the story

Design inspiration is the core of design content, but the analysis content in the early stage and the production effect in the later stage should also be explained. Inspiration comes from reality. What is the current situation of land use in reality? What are the problems? What inspired you to send it this time? This needs to be explained clearly This is the background of the story.

(3), renderings

The way to make the later renderings varies from person to person. Students who are good at computer graphics should remember not to use the rendering directly as the final result. This method has long been out of date. The simplest and most effective way is to use PS, add plants, change the transparency and enrich the layering.

On the premise that the story line is complete, we should pay attention to the simple tone of the picture, not necessarily using the popular advanced gray color system, but not giving people a messy and dazzling feeling; At the same time, the layout should not be too substantial, and more white space should be left for processing.

5. Other works

At the end of the design content, add some other types of design works, such as photography, painting, handicrafts, video editing and so on. This part is used to supplement my imagination and creativity.
