I'm a recent graduate exploring career opportunities and I was wondering what are the pros and cons of being a landscape architect vs. landscape designer.

Sometimes I find myself completely out of ideas that are outside of the box. Personally I find inspiration sometimes from paintings but I'm wondering where inspiration for your designs comes from?

Juan Antonio Lopez replied to Nicole Beane Plunkett's discussion 'Help! Making Sketchup more realistic'

"I would definitely use Photoshop for all of my vegetation. I find that using sketchup for trees slows my computer down a lot. If I must have 3D trees I use sketchup or Rhino to create a basic mass model and then I texture it using Artlantis on…"

Jason T. Radice replied to Juan Antonio Lopez's discussion 'Another Portfolio Question.'

"It can depend on the firm. A smaller firm in which you will likely have more immediate input may look closer at your design chops in the hopes that they can pass along some design work to you right away, as I did with my assistants. I…"

Another Portfolio Question.

In all honesty, do employers really pay great attention to your actual designs when reviewing a portfolio or do they mostly look at the ability to communicate your ideas? I guess the reason I'm asking this is because I know my graphics, layout, cad skills, photoshop skills, 3D skills etc are pretty good but I feel like my designs are not that great. My professors have always liked my graphics and layouts but when it came to the actual design, I was something average. Even in Construction, I…See More

Juan Antonio Lopez replied to Melanie Reber's discussion 'Is it just me... or do we need to rethink our illustrative quality of figures in the landscape?'

"I think that these days, everybody's digital graphics look exactly the same. They all have the cutout trees, desaturated people and so forth. I think sketches really convey more emotion and add a personal style to a rendering.…"

Keith replied to Juan Antonio Lopez's discussion 'License or no License'

"Definately get the license. Studying for the tests and taking them will make you better at what you do, especially grading and site design. There's a lot of stuff on the tests that you don't learn in school and helps you look…"

"If you plan on being a landscape contractor and designing your landscapes as part of it, there might not be as much a difference as some might think. I know many contractors with LA degrees who went into, or continued existing, business before…"

The closing date for the competition is 10 June 2011 so you have until then to :
pay entry fee
fill out and submit entry form
submit your project.

However I am recommending that people might consider submitting their entry fee and entry form in advance so that these documents can be checked and verified in order to guarantee that entrants are registered for the competition in good time.

San Diego

I am heading out to San Diego for a wedding at the beginning of June and wanted to see what suggestions of different sites I should try and visit while out there.
