Introduction and Project Overview
[Autogenerated] Hi, everyone. My name is Michelle, Corrine, and I'm a designer and three d artist. That look or three D visuals. My recent work includes working as an architectural designer on luxury housing and hotel project in India, as well as visualizing various high rise developments in Southeast Asia. I have also been visualizing contemporary interiors and residential villas in Europe as a recurring true toe on digital shooters, unlucky to create these courses that sum up every bit of experience that I have gained from these past 10 years in the design and architecture industry. And I'm especially happy to be able to share this insight with you today. In this course, we're going to learn how to create a beautiful set of architectural design drawings. In order, cat and photo shop will go through the workflow that is typically used in just about every architect office. We'll start with an existing hand sketch and develop it into a complete set of drawings that can be printed for a final presentation. Some of the key takeaways from watching this course include learning about the fundamentals of a great presentation, transferring a hand sketch into order cat creating elevations and sections from your plans and how to correctly use blocks, hatches, dimensions and grid lines. We'll also add furniture and planting and see how we can do it without it overcrowding your drawings. Lastly, we'll look at how to export your plans from order Cat into photo shop to work up a final color presentation. By the end of the training, you would have learned how to think and work like an architect, following industry standards and creating stunning results that impress your audience. I'm excited to work with digital shooters and to share these techniques with you, so let's get started with the first lesson.
