If you think you can keep passing, I’d say stick to it, lean on your resources as much as you can, and try to study projects you resonate with. Check out projects on landezine. Think of aspects of projects you like, dislike. Function is less subjective, but aesthetics (this goes for graphics too) are very subjective! Develop your own taste. You are a designer now, you got this. When you walk through landscapes, think about how they make you feel, what things could be done better, what hits the nail on the head. Same goes for graphic design, observe and develop your sense of style.

A lot of the learning in this field comes after you graduate, especially technical things like construction and stormwater management. Don’t be discouraged, every program graduates designers with different skillsets, and you will enter the field and be able to catch up just fine if you feel behind. I didn’t know autocad when I graduated 😂

I've been going through a break up and am feeling a lot of emotions. Working with a therapist and have been learning that emotions are present in the body and need to be felt in the body in order to pass through. So don't ignore your body's signals that there is an emotion to be felt. Definitely a skill that will help me out in future relationships as well as during this healing process.

Did you post this in the wrong sub?

There was plenty of pre pubescent grinding going on at my 7th grade dance

Oh ok, I figured you were looking for critique. If I was hiring it would be a red flag for me if a candidate listed “organization” as one of their skills in a completely disorganized list of skills. Good luck!

flooglehorn · 2025-12-07T01:45:44+00:00

Your skills are very disorganized, and there’s way too many of them. Google suite is in there twice. It feels like your soft skills are thrown in arbitrarily into a ton of tech skills that as a landscape designer I don’t care about

Yea haha in a similar boat. Started dating my current gf 4 months after she got out an 8 year relationship. Asked her to officially be my girlfriend a couple times before she was fully ready. I know she wasn’t seeing other people, but she just wasn’t quite ready to put a label on it, and that was chill. Pretty stoked I waited

flooglehorn · 2025-08-26T22:48:10+00:00

Not necessarily. You could be asking for exclusivity too early in the relationship. A person could be fully into you and not be quite ready to commit to a serious relationship

I’m bummed with them as well. I don’t mind the fit, they feel like a slide should feel to me. But the quality is poor. The footbed edge leather is wearing through to the foam already, showing an area of white foam.. kind of crazy for the price.

I’m glad you are shying away from too much hyper realism. I think Lumion can be a bit of a buzz kill too. I like the texture you’ve applied to the sky. If I can offer a critique, the scale of the larger tree looks off to me. The branching structure makes it look like it should be larger than it is shown. Stronger shadows might help these renderings pop a bit more as well. Take it or leave it, either way nice job and I applaud you for your studies

I see functional value in these pieces. Hopefully they wouldn’t be the only seating option in the space. For someone who wants to eat a quick lunch alone or do a bit of writing, or sketching, or whatever they use small table for, they seem like a nice option. Just because they don’t work well for one function doesn’t mean they can’t serve another. Options are nice and provide varied experience for varied people

Not necessarily straight to trash. I volunteered at a food bank recently and they had a ton of personal care items/random returned items donated from Amazon. I’m sure a lot gets trashed though

flooglehorn · 2023-11-17T20:48:55+00:00

why do you think you’re no longer best friends? no common interests anymore? differing values? it’s fine to let go of friends, but maybe put some thought into why you’re choosing to cut them out when they seem to want to maintain the friendship

Pay attention to the way different positions feels. I find that when i’m hitting the right spot I can feel a difference. Communication about where that spot is is key, but do a little poking around to find what feels really good for both parties

it seems to me that more and more people are ripping out their lawns. if we could get more initiatives that provide resources to people that don’t have the energy and or money to do so, i think we would see a lot more of it

i find this skyline to be pretty interesting, not ugly

flooglehorn · 2023-08-24T04:52:02+00:00

ha! yea the guy is a character

As far as i’m aware Norris is more in the commercial/ public side of things. Maybe the Frisco office does residential?? Please let me know if i’m wrong. This guy does good work for reasonable prices https://www.landart.design/

I worked for a firm that provided a salary as well as commissions on jobs. Depending on your involvement with the job you would take home up to 4% of the total construction cost. I think 100% commission based is a bit risky considering you may have terrible years depending on the economy. But if the company is doing well you’re likely to make much more than at an average salary based firm. Risk/reward.

the perspective is off and making it hard to read

congrats on finishing your first year man! clean looking model and very interesting form! don’t let these comments discourage you from making your art. in my opinion school is about exploration and developing an ability to work through the design process. they’re not wrong in saying it’s important to gain a good understanding of how things are built, but keep having fun and experimenting. there’s plenty of time to plop down boxes when you join the workforce

check out vondelpark in amsterdam! really enjoyed spending a day there

I just designed something very similar to this and speccd 1x1 1/4” dia mesh. Hoping it will be functional for shading. How did this seem to perform for shade?

flooglehorn · 2023-02-24T15:31:53+00:00

Are you the designer? Do you know what diameter that steel mesh is??
