Successfully Representing Landscapes in the Digital Domain
Routledge introduces a ground-breaking new book exploring creative methods for digital representation of landscapes.
Do you struggle for innovative approaches in communicating ideas and designs? Digital representation has become an increasingly important component in landscape and architectural design - but there is much more scope for creativity beyond the standard Photoshop montages. In this new book, Nadia Amoroso brings together contributions from some of the leading landscape departments in the world to explore the variety in digital illustration methods.
In each chapter, leading experts and practitioners in the field of landscape architecture explain a specific digital approach with the use of images from their department to show how each technique can be used in inspirational examples. Throughout the book over 200 colour images cover the spectrum of digital representation to help discuss the various drawing types, which are invaluable when communicating ideas in the field of landscape architecture.
With detailed examples, comprehensive chapters and downloadable images, this is an essential book for those interested in visual communication and design.
