You can get Piranesi for watercolour effects.

i want learn to colouring like watercolor in Photoshop, any ideas?

For me great design is:
1. Creating memory places
2. Creating a sense of place (genus loci)
3. Guardian of identity
4. Interest of users health, safety and welfare
What Mack mentioned is true for me as one who has had the experience on both sides, as the one to experience and admire and the one to create

Something that moves people, makes them stop and think “I wish I could do that, But even though I can’t… I am glad some one did it for me.”

Travis, yes, a lot of modeling and rendering. Pretty much any program I can get but mainly Maya, Rhino and Digital Projects.

Very excited about this group. Isn’t it interesting that we spend so much of our time perfecting our graphics for presentation purposes, and find more ways to communicate our intent in design, though in the end our designs are usually judged on the ability to properly solve a need or fulfill a desired use (which is appropriate). But what part of…[Read more]

I just want to say thanks for joining my group…..I think graphics are so important to our profession……I don’t think that we emphasize them enough…..It is important to remember that graphics are one of the most important means we have to communicate and convey ideas and emotion……I love all of your input so far…..Looking forward to…[Read more]

Who is the biggest influence on you with regard to graphics and why?

Brandon, What are your favorite media (type of paper, markers, pencils etc.) and why?

Growing up in utah made it and easy one to visit. because its at church headquarters it recieves a lot of visitors and thus a bigger buget. I also like nauvoo. With nauvoo I really like the historical feel of the place but my one complaint is that it feels and looks like an abandoned…[Read more]

I agree with you. The grounds are always nice and impressive however (from pictures I have seen) it looks like they lack cultural flavor. I think the grounds should be unique to the region/country reflect the culture more, become a gaurdian of identity. Much like they do with the architecture. I hope to do some temple design as well.

I would like to one day design the temple grounds for a new temple. I think that it would be an interesting challenge to make the grounds have the same effect on patrons as the interiors do.

I like to use the iris and peony myself. I also mix in Irish moss where I can with the rocks to display miniature scenes of vegetation.
