Assignment A.

On this drawing I worked on using the soffit tool, to make a soffit above my cabinets. The soffits had to reach the top of the ceiling, so I had to re size my cabinets. Skills that I have learned are how to make a corner cabinet, how to put a sink in the corner cabinet, stretching out my cabinets, and how to put the soffit in. These skills could help me in the future because I want to be a designer, and I know that I have to have certain measurements, and everything has to be paciest and fit in the right places or something else will be off measurement. A problem I ran into during this assignment was making everything fit into its place where it needed to be. I solved this by taking one thing at a time and working on making it fit. For example I had to add the soffit in, before I could do that I had to re size the cabinets so the soffit could fit to reach the ceiling. I was successful at accomplishing my kitchen, and making everything fit the way it needed to be. Now that I have accomplished designing a kitchen, I know how to design a kitchen outline plan in the future. Way's that I showed creativity was that I changed some structures, colors, and made it how I wanted it to be. Instead of a tall kitchen cabinate, I just used a regular cabinet because it fit best with the corner cabinet, with with sink.

Assignment B I have been working on the deck and porch of my house. My porch is located in the front of the house, and the deck is out back of the house. I went to the wall options and clicked on the railing to build my porch, and deck. This was a new tool that I learned how to do. Some of the skills I learned were that you need a differnt type of soffit (unlike the kitchen soffit), to make sure your porch/deck is held up. I will now know how to make/design a porch and deck with the materials that are needed. One problem that I ran into was getting the soffits able to reach the bottom of the deck. I had help from Mr.Bailey, and how we fixed this problem was adjusting the length. Next time, in the future I will know how to do this on my own, and wont need help. I was creative in my design, because I didn't just use the required materials. I used different types of wood and color for certain things.

Assignment C

This assignment shows the shadows in my yard. I have now learned where all the objects for landscaping are now. This will help me in the future for when I design my own house, and also it will help me in advance architecture next year. I have added a pool out in the back yard that you can't see, a grill, a fire place, car, and fence. In the front yard I added a tree, some flower pots, a water fountain, a basketball hoop, and a swing. I showed lots of creativity. One problem I ran into was deciding where to put all my landscape, and also that when I added my car the image was at a 45 degree angle, so it didn't line up straight with my driveway. How I fixed these problems was by just making up my mind, and how I fixed my other problem was by choosing a different car that lined up more with my driveway. One way where I was successful was that I made my yard something that I would like to look at if my yard looked like that. I made sure that everything was where it needed to be, and the colors and plants. I made my yard an enjoyable place where I would like to spend time.

Assignment D In this section I learned how to make a layout page, printing adjustments, a border, and title block. These skills will help me in the future for when I design my own layout page. I will know how to make one in the future. I was very successful in making the layout page of the different views of the house (North, East, South, West). One problem I ran into was that my title block. The problem I had was that the border of my title wasn't lining up right where it curved. How I solved this was by asking Mr. Bailey for help. He helped me line up my curved line so it connected to the other.

Assignment E

In this section I worked on showing different dimensions. The different dimensions make it so that the landscape is not flat and one level. It makes it so that there are hills. In the real world there are hills and cliffs, not everyones land is flat. In the future when I design my house I will need to consider a plan for the terrain. I had no problems with this part, and I thought it was very easy. I learned that I could use the copy/paste so that all my lines were the exact same dimensions. The way I showed creativity was by adding windows and doors where I thought they fit best.

Assignment F Part 1.



In this assignment I had to used the render view and shadows. A skill that I have learned was using the "Advance Deck Framing". The advance deck framing helped me learn how to add piers very easily that I didn't know how to use on the Bungalow. This will help me in the future when I make a new plan of my house, I will already know how to add piers to my deck in a quicker way than before. Also, I had to use a pad, so that my house didn't look like it was going over a cliff. A problem I had in this section was that I didn't save the picture to JPEG, so I had to re-save and re upload it so it was saved under JPEG.

Part 2.

In this section I had to design my own certain logo. I chose Brittany's Designs as my company name. I made my company name in a fancy font because I thought it made it look more appealing. My logo looks like a bunch of bubbles. I used the line tools, and just made a bunch of circles. A problem I had was that I was running out of time to finish my logo. All the circles were supposed to be colored. Another problem I ran into was that I didn't save my logo "picture" under JPEG, so I had to re-save it, and upload it again. I showed creativity by resizing the thickness of the circles, and adding different colors to them. I have now learned how to change the thickness in lines. In the future I will learn how to make a catchy logo that will catch people's eyes, and people will remember my logo.

My stairs leading to the second floor. As you can see my house is very open. (This picture is just showing an example for the roof, I know that it only shows the first floor.)

I am working on building a two story house. With a two story house there are advantages and disadvantages. Some advantages with a two story house are that you get more square feet for the same price, and the heat will rise upstairs. Some disadvantages are accessibility, and roofing. In my house there are stairs so it would be hard for someone in a wheelchair, crutches, or elder person to get to the second floor. For the roofing the disadvantage is that its hard to shovel the snow off in the winter, which could cause leaks in your house. How I worked around making accessibility better was by making my house very open, like a bungalow sort of. In the picture above I fixed the roofing problems by making my roof more steep so that the snow will be more likely to slide off, and i also made it a metal roof. I think I have made a very successful choice of style for my house design.

A family of 5 would be best for my house desgin. I also have an office for someone how would need office space for work. My house is very open, there are three bathrooms (including the master bathroom). The kitchen is very open and big for a large family. Also in my kitchen there is a bar type of thing. There is a large dinning room for a family, a family room, and also a very large living room. A family with kids would love this house because it has a pool, basketball court, plenty of room to play around, and there is also a grill and patio. There is a laundry room that has plenty of space so you don't feel cramped. There are lots of flat screen tvs in the rooms. My favorite room that I designed were the bathrooms.
