A Must Have,
By beginning landscaper (Atlantic Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Plan Graphics for the Landscape Designer (Paperback)
This is a fabulous book/teaching tool. I was taking a level 1 on-line landscape design course and needed a reference tool that would supplement the instruction I was receiving. This book never failed me -- everything I needed to "see" from very basic generic plant symbols, to shadow techniques, plant labelling, sections and elevations, is covered. It also shows how to use various drawing tools along with lots of drawing tips. There are loads of photos and drawings and the step-by-step teaching process used instills confidence in people like me who think they can't draw. I especially like the fact that Bertauski not only includes drawings done the proper way, but he also shows some of the more common drawing mistakes.

This review is from: Plan Graphics for the Landscape Designer (Paperback)
This book should definitely be on the shelf of anyone who designs landscapes unless you have already mastered all there is to know about plan graphics. The first edition of this book was very good, but the second edition is even better. The only reason I gave it a raing of four stars rather than five is that it contains only a very brief section about color rendering, a topic that deserves much more attention than Bertauski gives it. But it's still a great book even with that imperfection.

Even better than the Excelent first edition,
By Ed Nevares - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Plan Graphics for the Landscape Designer (Paperback)
This book doesnt' fail in maintain its focus on very practical aproach of the subject. It adopts a direct and easy to follow language and tips: Doesn't pretend to be artificially academic, intends strongly to help the beginners on their careers as the veterans too. Would be obvious that all books dealing with the same subject should present top quality on editorial design, but in many cases it's not true. This book, instead, cares a lot about its graphic presentation. The 2nd edition shows even better layout and more useful photos and drawings than those already great found on the previous edition. Covering decently the computer aplications on landscape renderings, it counts 264 pages: almost double comparing to the competing books and it's clearly cheaper, available at a fair price. My favourite in Landscape rendering field.

This review is from: Plan Graphics for the Landscape Designer (Paperback)
We used this book in Landscape Design at my college. It is an essential tool for the basics of plan graphics and design layout. It focuses on keeping the design clean and professional. I STRONGLY recommend this book to any first year Landscape Design student, or any professional who needs a good reference tool.
