Sami,
I’d recommend using ‘landscape designer’ (I’ve seen this most often) or maybe even ‘recent landscape architect graduate’. If you use ‘landscape architect in-training’ check w/your state registration board to make sure that there aren’t any ‘conflicts’.
As far as looking for jobs: the ones that generally apply to college grads would be ‘…[Read more]

Hey Page:

You need to really get a clue here. It appears your somewhat disconnected from the true reality of the marketplace. Let me be specific, in case you can’t be.
There is massive unemployment in the design professions and thast has been pervasive going on nearly three years. You are offering a “sure-fire” or “near-fire” portfolio and…[Read more]

Sami,
One of my recent students listed their current job as “landscape architect in training” to avoid this snafu.
I would suggest visiting the ASLA job board to see how others with your level of experience are handling it. Here are some samples of student portfolio websites that include resumes for other ideas on wording and layout: Samples r…[Read more]

I have a quick question about resumes. I will be graduating this coming May will my BLA. I am in the process of cleaning up my resume and cover letter. In looking for jobs to apply for, I always search landscape architecture, since that is my specific degree. I am not yet, however, a registered landscape architect since I am entry level. Ca…[Read more]

Peter, your comment about approaching your portfolio from a print format perspective is interesting. I think many of us who spend a lot of time at the drawing board suffer from this, and moving our personal work to digital format is a jump for some. I think that if you have a standardized filing system in place that is reflected on your co…[Read more]

Thanks for the feedback, Page! It’s funny, looking back now I obviously should have clarified a number of issues you picked up on.
The document is set up in an 8×10 Blurb template (because most of my sites are portrait orientation) and the “cover page” is actually Page 1 of a Blurb template (the cover is a separate document at this time because…[Read more]

Mr. Lin,

when will your next 7 day workshop be in the United states?

Page Huyette posted an update in the group Portfolios and Resumes – Design Strategies 13 years, 4 months ago

@ Peter Coyle. Regarding the pdf portfolio you uploaded to this wall, here are my comments on layout.
Cover page: clean layout but a missed opportunity to immediately showcase your skills. Consider some of your images as a semi-transparent background, or a small thumbnail strategically placed. Re-format the cover to landscape orientation so…[Read more]

Hi! I also would love anyone to review my attached portfolio and offer any critiques! NB: this is a low resolution copy for upload size reasons, so smaller text is illegible (focusing on general content/layout). Thanks in advance for any comments!

Thanks Tim and Cynthia. Next webinar will really get into strategic thinking about perspectives and drawing composition – my favorites! I’ll cook up some more video clips and hopefully control the camera focus a bit more than in last night’s program.

Webinar was really great – nice mix of refresher and new info. So helpful to keep up to date on materials and processes and see through Jim’s crystal ball into the future.
