Theater Update 3: Perspective Illustrations
I was able to develop a couple of illustrations this weekend to help illustrate some of the exterior spatial qualities of the theater design. The number of pages for this project are really starting to add up and I don't want to add any...
The Third And The Seventh: By Alex Roman
A couple of years ago, I posted this video by Alex Roman. It has been a while and I figured it was time to revisit it. A lot of people ask me where I get my inspiration from and this is one place I constantly go back too. It never disappoints. More than...
Theater Update 2
Progress is being made on the theater section of project portfolio upgrade. I put together some floor plans and sections/elevations of the design as well as compiled some of my past process work into another spread. I decided to group the plans,...
Project Portfolio Upgrade: Theater Update
The long weekend has given me a chance to catch up on some things, one of them being project portfolio upgrade. I have been spending time developing a new 3D model from scratch and it still is nowhere close to being completed. However, I wanted to get...
Lofting Basics & Process
I received a lot of comments asking for an explanation of how I made the model and more specifically the curved geometry. Sketchup by itself is not well suited for "organic” modeling. You need the right plugins to get the “rhino-esk” functionality. What...
On The Boards
A lot of energy has been going into project portfolio upgrade with a couple of projects in a good place. As I revisit some some of my older projects, there was one in particular that I have been wanting to study further. This project was started...
Portfolio Upgrade: Going Minimal Part 2
A few weeks ago, I created a post on "going minimal" and this week I am adding two more spreads to the project. I mentioned in the first post how difficult it is for me to leave white space on the page and I think the above two spreads show this...
Portfolio Upgrade: Interior Illustration Breakdown
This past post received a lot of feedback from you asking for a more detailed breakdown of the illustrations. The interior illustration in particular got a lot of attention so I am going to start with that one. Since several different parts of the...
Portfolio Upgrade: Going Minimal
Life has been busy lately. However, I have managed to squeeze in a little time to create two new spreads. I have moved to a different project in the portfolio and I wanted to change up the style a little. Much of this portfolio so far has been very graphically...
Portfolio Upgrade: Renderings Spread Continued
Last week I briefly posted some images that I had developed for the "rendering" spread of this particular project. I didn't post the spread itself which is shown above. I thought I would spend this week breaking down how I got to this point. In other...
Portfolio Upgrade: Renderings Spread
So much has happened in the past few weeks and I was amazed that it has been so long since I last posted. The past week in particular has been especially difficult to focus on the site. What I am posting this week is more or less a filler for a more in...
Portfolio Upgrade: Part 2
I put some more time into project portfolio upgrade continuing to develop the visitor center pages. The above sheets are a first pass at the layout and will serve as an introduction to the design and concept. Since the relationship to the landscape is...
Project Portfolio Upgrade
The last portfolio I created was in 2010 midway through my last year of grad school. It's been a long time and I have a lot more content now. You may have noticed that I have revisited many of my old projects and have continued to develop and illustrate...
X-Ray Illustration: Part 2
A few weeks back I posted an x-ray illustration of one of my old projects as sort of a last minute idea. This was the first time I had ever done an "x-ray" illustration and I immediately became excited about the possibilities. I'm really drawn to this style...
X-Ray Illustration
I spent most of the day designing and developing the above model that I didn't leave much room to do an illustration or even a post. However, this is what several hours got me. I've done a few illustrations with this model in the past looking at different ways...
