Trees in photoshop
Photoshop CS5 Tutorial.
Ok it was late and thus a bit monotone, and a few errors for you to spot!
The idea is to show you how to create a simple tree from above with shadow. Its a starter for you guys to build upon so the detail is basic for that reason. A foundation if you like.
It took a long time to work it all out so it has some value to me (at least). So i will share it with Greenwich Students LA and Garden Design, to give you guys something to work with. Really appreciate if you don't publish this video, download it by all means as it won't be up forever.
Come back for updates.

Its about People...........Stupid
I have been going on (ie boring the pants off every one) about this study along with a book titled 'A Visual Approach To Park Design' by Albert J Rutledge. For the web, Chicago city started an organisation called 'Project for Public spaces' which was inspired by Fred Kent one of Whyte's assistants on the project below. A massive resource of idea's that i wished i looked into further before doing the document ( i skimmed the edges as lack of TIME like all of us). If i have a passion its making places that effect peoples lifes for the better on a daily basis. Which i realise Parks are one of them. Can you imagine Calverley becoming 'A Place' again? Sod the fancy stuff, get the basics right.....See below.

So here is the video in question. Made in 1979 (when most of you less than a twinkling in somebody's eye) but still relevant, like good music if the quality is there then its timeless. Thus this research video. An hour long, but totally fascinating. Applies to both parks, the low traffic flow of TW thus need to attract, and the high traffic of Jubilee, need to retain.
I would be interested on your thoughts.
For me, it was the answer to the big question, Why should anybody visit my park, or to put it another way, how do I make my park 'A Place' rather than a field?

On the third viewing (...sad I know) the point of ratio of human space. Too wide and the distance will not be to scale, and narrowness in not necessarily a deterrent. To finish, a quote from the great man himself,
“I end then in praise of small spaces. The multiplier effect is tremendous. It is not just the number of people using them, but the larger number who pass by and enjoy them vicariously, or even the larger number who feel better about the city center for knowledge of them. For a city, such places are priceless, whatever the cost. They are built of a set of basics and they are right in front of our noses. If we will look.” 'William H.(Holly) Whyte (1917-1999)'

No Oscar nominations for this one
Its is easier with a vid to explain anything on computers, but then 'Peter and Jane 5' is more my level of reading.
Just a point of getting it accurate.
A final point that i missed is the printer even if you have the exact A1 size) always seem to scale down to app 97% there is a box on 'Properties' to put change to 'Actual Size'
I would say enjoy, but when has an instructional video been fun, (unless its about making CAKES! obviously)
Very tired when doing this so a bit of brain freeze, croaky voice and general malaise.
