Done with Sketch Up (For Now)

I'm done working on the park/playground for right now. More than likely I will go back and add or remove somethings but right is a good stopping point.

Now I've moved on to creating the webiste. At first I tried downloading templates so that way I wouldn't have to worry about creating a layout but just inserting the content. Well, that plan didn't work so I moved onto plan "b" where I was going to create a layout in photoshop and that turned out to be way easier. Creating this layout was easier than creating the layout for my senior portfolio (bad memory). So now that I have an ideal template all I need are the measurements but I might have to do some rescaling which is a piece of cake.

I Hate Sketch Up!!

Still working in Sketch Up trying to put together the park and the playground. Trying to transfer components from one file into another has been proven to be difficult because of scaling issues. Here's an example...

 AFTER

But overall everything else is starting to come together as far as the parking lot, garden/open area and picnic area. Since time is short I'm going the use pre-designed components to complete the park because as seen above it takes more time to design one on your own. Here how everything starting to look.

Still Building

Started a new playground because the other one wasn't working out. Yesterday when I started I liked it but now I may change.

As I said before I will probably work on the actual product sometime during spring break or after I'm close to finishing the website.

Blog from Friday, March 2, 2012

Still using Sketch Up I started creating the playground using the provided playground parts designed by Google.

I haven't really started working on anything outside of class. My focus has been on trying to finish everything on Sketch Up because once I finish I want to move on to creating the website. More than likely I will start on the physical item during spring break or when I'm closer to finishing the website.

Extra Late Blog Five

Althought I'm suppose to be done with the paper...I'm not. The most completed part of my paper is the introduction and problem A. So hopefully this weekend (March 2-4) I'll actually complete the paper and email it to Mrs. Philbrick.

That's all I remember from that week.
