Paint it black!

[ithika]

Is the name of my new plot style in CAD. I think it's quite amusing. (Because all it does is tell all the lines to be black - I control the line weights in the layers panel now - not that you care, probably.)

Um.
I would like some opinions on this please!
See, we have a review on Thursday (well, this week. Some people had it on Monday... suckers.), and I thought it would be cool if I tried to give some presentation flair to my drawings. Just because. I have been looking at this thread, but figuring out how to do this in Photoshop is taking up too much of my time so I decided to try it out in illustrator instead, and then maybe go over things with texture brushes in PS later on, add shadows and things with transparency and stuff.
But I don't know whether it will look silly, or like srs bsns. It needs to look serious!
So if anyone has any thoughts about it, they would be very much appreciated! I don't want to spend any more time doing it if it looks dumb...





It's funny looking, I know.


I don't mind the plan now. I don't think it's completely hideous any more. Hmm,
So yes, thoughts would be very much appreciated.



WotLK Spoiler. I want a link to that video so I can watch it whenever I want. Power to the Forsaken!

Man, I am tired.
Also lol sculpture is due on Friday lololol.
Though I have an idea. It's just... it's just not a good time.
Shower and then bed time, I think. Going to get up early tomorrow. Yes.

You know what's funny about units that don't have exams? Makes it very, very easy to justify skipping them to give yourself more time to do work. For other units. I mean... there's no exam, the past assignments have been a joke, and the next one is:
Two Hundred Words and A Powerpoint
about
sustainability
In a building
YOU
HAVE
DESIGNED.
In a building you have designed.
In a building that I have designed.
TWO HUNDRED WORDS.
THREE MINUTE PRESENTATION.
A BUILDING I HAVE DESIGNED.

Please don't underestimate my suspicion at the seeming triviality of this unit. I am actually deeply concerned.
Nothing is ever this easy.

Also this is amazing.

I think the background is cool. But don't spend too much time on it. It will only look like you're cool, I doubt it will get you better marks.

Also don't let it detract. That would be dumb. Make it as simple and as out of the way as possible (and don't make it superfluous).

Thanks!
Actually you'd be surprised how far presentation can get you in architecture. I would do a winking smiley but it's an irritating truth rather than funny, in the end.

Yeah I agree. I was thinking of having a second set of drawings - "presentation" drawings, and then "Scheme" drawings, which are run-of-the-mill convention-following things. :)

Sounds good!

Also, the trouble is knowing when to stop. I mean... it's hard to know where the line between enough detail and superfluousness is.

Man, superfluous is one of the greatest words ever.

It is cool... what is it though? (haha I am an architecturally uncultured swine!)

Thanks! :D
It's a fire station. This one's the ground floor plan.It will probably make more sense once I add the trucks and things. :)
