I am excited to finally introduce Portfolio Volume 04. As I have said many times before, nothing beats being able to see work in printed form, especially after seeing some of these images for over two years only on the screen. This has been a long time coming and the...

I will be releasing Portfolio Volume 4 in about two weeks. In preparation for this, I have compiled all of the posts that relate to Portfolio Volume 4 and placed them on my dedicated portfolio page. Below are links to the posts that span over two years along with...

One of the final images that my upcoming Portfolio Vol. 4 was lacking was a view of the Boston harbor for my Long Wharf redevelopment project. This view was crucial because it showed how one of the most important parts of the design, the tiered seating, framed the...

There are still some areas of Portfolio Vol. 4 that are missing information. One image that I just finished creating is an aerial of the train pavilion project that better shows the relationship of the new architecture to the iconic town water tower. I have several...

You can spend a ton of time perfecting your portfolio, but all of that means nothing if you choose a bad printer. That is why I have spent the last several weeks testing out many online print-on-demand services. I wrote a post on Print-on-demand printers several years...

I have been working on some of the different design elements of Portfolio Volume 4 and this week I am focusing on the cover design. I wrote a post a few years ago on the cover design for Portfolio Volume 3 seen here. Not much has changed with the way that I am...

The Cliff retreat spreads are underway. With most of the imagery generated, I had enough content to start thinking about how the pages would be laid out and how the story would be told. As with a lot of my layouts, the styles range quite a bit from spread to...

I wanted to have some fun with this image and create something that conveyed the scale of this project. Sort of a grand finale image. I have already generated a lot of close-up vignettes, but nothing really showing the project its totality. I chose a view that would...

I was finally able to setup some interior scenes for the cliff retreat design. I decided to go black and white with these images to relate back to the black and white exterior images generated a few posts ago. However, the desaturated colors will also help play up the...
