Site Plan


After exploring different techniques of digital rendering and lots of YouTube tutorials I think my site plans is somewhat readable and maybe with few changes I can be happy with it.

To produce this rendered plan I started by doing the line work in AutoCAD. Making the line work in this software was simple and accurate. Everything is to proportion.

The second step was opening the CAD drawing into Adobe Illustrator. I wanted to give the line work a different line thickness and color. With the use of this technique I was able to give importance to some lines and blend out the less important.

For the final step of my rendering process, I took the illustrator file into Photoshop. Most of the techniques used in the plan are simple and easy to use. I wanted to produce a readable and clean plan that showcase the design instead of the complex Photoshop effects.
