For this assignment, I looked at many programs and have worked
with many of them. My favorite to work with probably is Revit. It is a
lot like Auto-Cad but you can render your design on it also. But the
route i chose for this example is just a simple way of doing projects,
how to save them and import them into different programs until you have
your final product.
In the example, you start off
with Google Earth to find your site. You can take screen shots,
research what is around it, take elevation shots, etc. Save those
pictures as JPEGs and move them into Photoshop. While in Photoshop you
can manipulate your pictures if so desired. Once that is done you can
save that file as a TIFF, JPEG or a PSD (which I don't recommend because
a PSD file is rather large). After you save that file you can then move
it into InDesign, which is a program for board, magazines, brochure,
etc. layouts. Once you have your pictures and drawings where you want
them, you move them into this program to start setting up your boards.
You save this file as an IND or you can export it as a PDF so you can
print your board off down at the plotters.
This
assignment was interesting to research and find all the different
programs that people use. I know I am unfamiliar with most, but I hope
to learn them soon because it will help me even more with all my future
designs.
