Architectural Posters: 5 Concept Showcase Ideas
February 24, 2010
Showcasing your designs in architectural posters can involve some difficult decision-making, as you’re trying to present your designs in the best possible light. This post can help! Here are five concept presentation ideas that can seal that deal or communicate your concepts effectively, whether your architectural designs are already solid structures or still in progress on the drawing board.
Architectural Posters – Concept and Design Ideas
Computer Models: These days, architects are more likely to plan out their designs with the help of specialized computer programs, as these programs can help them create highly detailed models in less than half the time it would take to draw them out. If you’re one of them, you can take your models to a higher level so they can serve as more than references for blueprints. Design your models as lifelike as possible to impress even the most uninitiated individual! These designs can also become great references if ever the final structure is completed differently from your original design.
Detailed Hand-Drawn Illustrations: Traditionally drawn architectural designs still have their appeal; they have a stronger connection to you as an architect merely because you created them by hand. Like the previous concept, you can elaborate on the minute details so your concepts are appreciated as completely as possible. Be sure to have your illustrations scanned professionally and reprinted instead of presenting them as is, though; not only will you be able to produce spare copies, but you will also protect your original drawings from damage. For more detailed information, check out the FAQ section at our main site or ask one of our customer representatives on our 24-hour live chat service.
Architectural Lines and Curves: Our eyes are naturally drawn to symmetry and graceful lines; presenting these architectural lines and curves in your structures can help greatly in scoring points for impressiveness and appreciation. Either hire a professional photographer who can also translate the beauty of your work on large-scale photographic posters, or take on that job yourself so you can highlight what lines you like most in your structural design.
Landscape Photographs: Show the entirety of your architectural masterpiece with landscape photographs that have the ideal lighting and photo angles. Photographed versions of your whole architectural design stay in people’s minds best because they are the representations closest to the real thing. If your structure’s location isn’t ideal in terms of lighting, you can always make subtle edits to your photographs with the help of professional image editing programs.
Architectural Details: From the columns to the railings and lighting, you can use posters of these finer architectural details to support your main presentational architecture posters. These can help make clients visualize the entirety of your structure more vividly, even before they go to the location itself. By displaying choice architectural detailing, you also demonstrate yourself to be a fine architect who not only cares about the big picture, but also tries to figure out how to turn out the little details best.
