 Lat week I learned how to create my own landscaping, while this week I learned how to create my company logo. This will help me in the future, because you need a company logo for all your projects for your company to get credited. This applies to the real world, because real businesses have logos, which identify their company to customers. The problem I had in trying to create my logo was was putting all the lines in the polygon below my company name, I solved this problem by acquiring the help of a friend who already finished his logo. I was successful in creating the polygon below my company's name and creating my company's name as well. I, in my opinion, wasn't creative at all, because I basically created my company logo design by what the example is in the book.

This week learned how to use the House Wizard, while last week I was still working on my Bungalo. Learning how to use House Wizard can help me in the future by giving me the average size of a certain room in case I'm short on time and need a regular sized room, House Wizard is there for me, and for the same reason it could help architects in the real world. A problem that I had was trying to re-adjust my walls after creating my hallway, and what i did to solve that problem was start over, and it worked. I was successful in violating building code restrictions on my deck, where there are no stairs coming from the opening in the railing. I think that I was creative in making a 300 foot basement.

Last week I learned about how to insert the ground, while this week I learned how to landscape the ground by making hills. I learned how to make the hills be the way I want them to be and this will help me in future projects, because now I know what to do. This would apply in landscaping businesses in the real world today, because their job has to do withe putting in grass and trees, and even shaping the land itself, although sometimes the goal or project is to build a house or stucture around the landscaping that is already given. The problem I had was trying to get the elevation lines at the right height, it finally clicked and I got it after I learned to copy the line. I was successful in making my soffits the right length to correspond the the wacky landscape. I was creative by making the landscaping so random.

Last week I worked on finishing up my Bungalo, while this week I worked on the layout of my Bungalo. I learned how to create a layout and how to import my pictures to the layout. These skills are very important for architects when they need to show their customer how the project is coming along, and customers can request changes on the layout. The one problem I had with the layout was the concept of page 0. I actually started putting my layouts on page 0, which would put the layout on all of the rest of the pages. What I did to fix this problem was to delete everything off from page 0, except for the page number indicator in the lower right corner, and the company name in the lower left corner. I was successful in importing pictures into my layout. I was creative in adding an extra page to my layout plans for my overview of my Bungalo. This week I was working on actually putting ground in around my Bungalo and therefor no longer having my deck and porch hanging out in the air, looking like they could fall off my Bungalo at any time. Last week I worked on my decking and my porch. I have learned hor the insert ground for my Bungalo and also apply characters usually seen out side like trees and roads. This would apply in landscaping businesses in the real world today, because their job has to do withe putting in grass and trees, and even shaping the land itself. When I inserted the tree that is furthest back in the picture, it was bigger than my house, but I fixed it by going to my plan and manually resizing it. I was successful in putting in my driveway it it is useful, because now I know how to insert one when I need to. I think I got creative in lining up bushes along my walkway.

Last week I had been working on the room configuration of my Bungalo, but this week I've been working on and finished my Kitchen. The skills I've learned have to do with knowing where most of the applications are inside of the program, and this will help me in the future of this class, because I will be able to work fluently and get a lot done in little time without hitting dead ends. These skills are applied in every day life of the architect, because it helps them design structures from little shacks to the tallest skyscraper. A problem that I have is not paying attention to the bottom toolbar when it appears and that gets me stuck by slowing me down. I was successful in the building and designing the Kitchen, and this will help me in the future with designing kitchens since it is one of the hardest steps to complete. I got creative in the designing of the kitchen think, because I took the time to make cabinets with glass cabinet doors.



Last week I was working on the porch and deck, but this week I worked on the fundamentals of framing. I learned how to change the frame works in side the wall and i learned how to make a porch and deck. These skills are applied in every day life of the architect, because it helps them design structures from little shacks to the tallest skyscraper. I had a problem understanding how to change the frame work, but because I kept working at it I figured it out. I was and still am the master of soffits. I was creative in assuming what to do when I didn't know what I was supposed to do, sometimes.
