Photoshop

-
To design my final boards I used Photoshop, because it is a very common software and honestly the first one which came to my mind while thinking about designing boards.



At the beginning I used  "Polygonal Lasso Tool" to outline my design on the screenshot I have taken, then I created new "Layer via copy" and deleted the layer with a background. I repeated the same activities with a few more pictures and saved them.


Next, I opened "new" 3508x4961 pixels (A3 format) canvas and started placing my designs using "Placing Embedded". Next, I wrote some comments and chose "Agency FB" font, because it seemed to be really accurate as it looks a bit like technical lettering to me.







These are my final boards. Although I enjoyed designing my venue, this time I focused more on shapes instead of technical specifications as I did in my Major Project the last term. Next term I would like to finally have a balance and bare in mind both technical specifications as well as an aesthetic outcome.

On the second board, I'm going to add a floor plan of a whole house and then separated flat and add comments about technic specifications. Architecture boards

When people who are watching trench from the above in Jumpsuit music video throwdown yellow flower petals, they turn back to normal the main character. The colour yellow gives him strength and hope. Yellow is the colour of sunshine, hope, and happiness, so due to a number of researches it positively affects people surrounded by it. To stick with "cold" aesthetic I looked for metal elevation that doesn't have to be for instance silver or gold, but can be any colour (yellow in this case). I decided to use yellow pigmented steel. yellow-painted steel using steel in architecture Initially, I wanted the main construction to be made out of concrete, however making research I decided to change it for white-painted bricks.  as  it is very durable and long-lived. It usually does ...

Organic architecture and geometric shapes in nature

The Lotus Temple - Delhi, India The Lotus Temple - Delhi, India This temple in India was designed by Iranian-Canadian Architect Fariborz Sahba in  1986  to resemble a giant lotus flower. The building is a Bahá’í House of Worship, which means the followers of any sect, denomination, religion, philosophy, or ideal are welcome. The floral design was symbolic of beauty and grace, suggesting that perhaps one day humanity will be a bit more welcoming to all worshipers. I like it's geometric and repetitive structure, which is often visible in nature. NEW LEARNING HUB AT NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY "Hive" was designed by Heatherwick Studios to look like a tree grove. Inside the Learning Hub actually feels like a hive, integrating formal and informal learning spaces to create a comfortable, casual environment. Space is interspersed with gardens, balconies, and nooks. While visitors may be taken with the outstanding exterior aesthetics, the inside i...
