As an extension exercise to this project, we suggest that if you have not done some already, now is the time to design a logo & title block for your landscape consultancy.
One way to proceed whould be to create a new drawing, set up a rectangle an appropriate size (say 50 mm by 50 mm) and design your logo. Remember, at a later stage you will create anothe drawing (perhaps called title) [perhaps 100 x 55 mm] and populate the space with your logo, name, title, telephone (fixed) mobile, email address and the postal address of your consultancy.
To help spark ideas, we have included below some logos from a number of garden designers.
One of our students (KS) has produced a very fine logo using GardenCAD. The ability of GardenCAD to work with various layers (and to control the stacking order of those layers) was utilized when building the logo. When printed to a PDF file from GardenCAD using CutePDF writer, the resolution was outstanding. The logo works well on both black (inside GardenCAD) and white background (printed output). Make sure that you do the same and test your logo in both environments.
The logo is drawn once and used again and again on each and every design created by that KS; a great time saver.
Title block
Start another new drawing, draw the title blovk itsef and using the Draw>block insert from file option, insert the logo inside the title block.
