    I just found out that a BSLA is considered a “non-professional degree” and a BLA is considered a “professional degree”…

    By the way, What’s up Jon? More power to ya for starting your own business, I can’t see it doing anything but helping you. You can choose to utilize or downplay that experience as much as you wish when it comes to finding a job elsewhere. However, I would think the management and one on one time with clients would be something that employers value.

    I did just think however that if you are planning on keeping your business at the same time as working for another firm, make sure there is not a conflict of interest. That might hurt you when you are looking for another job.

    OK, That makes sense. I have a BLA from the University of Idaho and the majority of our study focused on design and the technical aspects of LA such as CD’s, stormwater, grading, drainage… we had one 2 semester plants class, one soil class, one ecoloy class, one biology class, and maybe a couple other sciences, but most of it was design studio and technical stuff.

    I would say that great design is in the eye of the beholder from an aesthetic standpoint. functionally, a designer must solve all site specific problems, and realize beneficial potential, to the best of his/her ability. A resulting visually and physically pleasing site experience is icing on the cake.

    We’ve heard it a million times…. form follows function.

    I would say that hand graphics are definately my favorite means of presentation. Unfortunately I do not have to many opportunities to practice it at work. we are trying to develop a way to quickly produce graphics with a “hand drawn look” in sketchup, and Autodesk impression. I do not necessarily agree with this approach because I don’t think well done hand renderings can be replicated by a computer. But it can be argued that it is a consistent, reliable, efficient and effective way to produce presentation graphics.

    I am very much interested in improving my hand rendering ability and plan on developing it when I go back to School. I definately agree with what Brandon said about being able to crank out a quick perspective in front of clients. Being able to draw is an absolutely necessary skill needed in the design profession and I hope it is not lost with the advancement of computer aided graphics.
