Ok short answer as my iPhone is difficult to write with at any length on this web site.

A friend of Joey, I started at 44, finished at 49, and 4 and half years later I am a senior LA.

Ba and Ma route. Worked stupid hard, all nighters and doubles, last chance saloon attitude.

Do the Ma conversion, but a lot of supplemental work on AutoCAD, networking, site visits and working out what really drives you.

There are only advantages to age. You can learn anything, and by now you’ll know your strengths and how to work with people.

It’s a tough industry, highly rewarding when you see your stuff being built. The whole team effort.

Use your life skills and work like your life depended on it and you’ll be fine.

Any questions let Joey or I know, slow reply due to being busy…

Take care

Explain?

In the UK its Garden Designers and La’s obvious difference of scale. Though in the last year of the degree we work together.

LOL, could not agree more. Right font right scheme, is just the same as right plant ,right place. I have come to the conclusion that choosing a font is an art in itself. I spent hours thing about the presentation of a project and the font/layout ie composition.

 

Fave fonts (as a lover of the constructivist movement), Gill sans for its simple instructional style a real ‘keep of the grass’ font. Futura, just because. Verdana ok not that abstract but for easy reading on web sites its hard to beat (conclusion of research by one of the Worlds 5 largest banks, who are very much into self interest, so worth taking note)

 

Confession i did use papyrus on a keynote presentation about the History of Roman Gardens, so almost in context (ish), you will be pleased to know the Uni windows pile did not have the font so the projection put some awful default up instead, that will teach me for trying to be clever!. That is always the risk of using unusual fonts unless you turn them into images.

I have been reading or should i say consuming a book by Albert j Ruledge, titiled, ‘A Visual Approach To Park Design’, published 1981. Combined with this briiliant film the knowledge gained will be a good foundation for any project

‘A Park with out People is a Field’

This is why we work in this industry….people.

Had a great day at Uni and this film just completed a perfect day, thank for sharing.
