IMAGING INSPIRATIONS

Greetings!

Please join me, weekly, for a quick "Imaging Inspirations" email showing off an "After Image" and "Before Photo," typically from a contractor's computer imaging project. Shares will switch between hardscape/pavers, decorative concrete, landscape and both 2D & 3D imaging projects.

Enjoy!

2D Westwood Pool - After Image

2D Westwood Pool - Before Photo

About... 2D Hardscape/Landscape Imaging Project...

This Westwood Pool 2D computer imaging project was created for Go Pavers, a Los Angeles area hardscape contractor. The homeowner not only wanted to see what a new pool, raised spa, and pergola would look like -- all paved with Belgard Catalina pavers -- but they really wanted to see a viable privacy solution for all those neighbor windows staring into their backyard!

(All that glass is enough to make anyone uneasy.)

GO PAVERS CONTRACTOR'S ADVICE:

"The secret is about taking the right picture. The killer image starts with taking the right photo base to work with. Make sure your camera is leveled with the object you are shooting. It's better to spend 1 minute moving a chair, or water pipe, than spending 10 minutes in touch ups."

DIANE/DJSD's IMAGING TIP:

"Use a tall lattice and thick vines to hide whatever needs masking. And don't forget to add plenty of shadow for both plants and structures to accent shaded areas."

Picture A Project's Possibilities... Before Construction Begins...

Whether you are a contractor/designer trying to win a landscape, hardscape, paver, or decorative concrete installation bid...

or...

...a DYI homeowner just trying to figure out what the heck you want... and preferably attempting to communicate your dreams to a master craftsperson/contractor who can create a design plan taking your yard up ten notches...

...It's hard to envision what flat site plan would look like, without actually "seeing" ideas come to life... on photos of an actual yard!

DJSquireDesigns can help you define, refine, and re-imagine your project's design vision with either 2D or 3D renderings!
