This is how I feel about this situation…
I graduated last year and I learned a lot about digital representation and how it makes some of the project we do better, but at the same time, hand-rendered project have more respect in the work force. If you think about it, all of the senior landscape architects learned their skills in the way of the “Old school.” I will always think that hand rendering will be better than digital work. it can’t be obsolete, but I would like to try to think that people want to unite the two together to make projects or concept or anything better. I have a few projects that look better because they were put through sketch up and then I put hand graphics to them after they were printed…
Well that’s what I think about this. If I had hand graphics like Brandon Reed, damn, I wouldn’t have to work about getting assisted by digital programs!!!!
