A tour around Taylor's Lakeside - Archi Style

The task is to create a little tour guidebook around Taylor's Lakeside Campus in the form of a graphic journal. It needs to feature softscapes (the plants) and hardscapes (man-made features) around the campus too.

Besides illustrating a map around campus, (I oriented my guidebook for freshmen from FNBE only because I reckon it's "more effective" to a user this way huhu) this project got us to go explore the campus from an architect's point of view - as in categorising trees, shrubs and ground covers, identifying the type of trees, what type of plants are placed in certain locations, and so on. Besides, each of us has to feature our favourite spot in the guidebook.

This is my guidebook (pretty informal though) but I enjoyed this assignment a lot. Once I had to take photos around the campus for project reference, and that time was when the Pokemon Go hype was pretty high back then, a lecturer thought that I was catching pokemon, while I was just snapping pictures of regular trees hahaha.

But overall, this was the first time I drew architectural trees, and also the first time I drew this many trees in my life. I found out that there were certain techniques to draw a tree and if you draw it right, others can read your drawings easily.
