I'm currently studying landscape architecture, and will be graduating in two years. I know for certain that I want to use my degree to become a urban designer/master planner.
It has been my dream for as long as I can remember to have a significant role in designing for the Olympic games wherever they may be.
Unless you've been under a rock for the past few weeks you know that the 2016 games will be held in Rio de Janeiro Brazil.
Honestly, it has to be fate.
My family is Brazilian and I speak fluent Portuguese.
I've never wanted anything so badly in my life. I've spent countless hours of my free time trying to find the slightest hint on what firms will be doing design work for the games.
I'm starting to think it may be to early to tell considering that the games are 7yrs away.
But seeing that it could take years to build the new venues and infrastructure noted in the master plan video, one would think they have chosen firms by now.
Anyone heard anything?
I am attending a University and my major is Landscape Architecture. I was wondering if I can use this major with floral and wedding designing. I love watching wedding shows on TV and I am completely attracted to the floral arrangements and designing the theme outdoors. Can someone tell me if this major is helpful to this future hopeful career?
I'm in gr.9 rite now and I'm having trouble figuring out what courses I should take next year if i want to become a landscape designer. I'm taking tech this year, because we get to learn how to design stuff on the computer, but I'm not taking art and i don't know if i should next year. There's an art - computer course, but I'm not really sure what it's about. And I know I should take biology in gr.11 too. I need to book an appointment with my guidance counselor, but until then if anyone has any ideas on what courses i should take, please help.
the question is : Why do you want to attend Pratt and what do you hope to accomplish from your education?
Every individual has a destiny and I know my destiny will lead me to become a successful clothing designer. Since childhood, I have been inspired by art. While I have never had any training in art, as a child I expressed a natural talent in drawing. At the age of four, I began drawing Japanese animation and painting landscape art. My family noticed my natural talent in art and began to support and nurture my growth. I remember watching fashion runway show on television for a full three hours. I was so inspired by the beautifully crafted fashions, that I grabbed a pad of paper and started sketching on the spot! Since watching my first fashion runaway, I began to create and synthesize clothing that is inspired by the natural and manmade environments. I produced an abundance of sketches and realized that I can make a career with the use of my sketches. One of my seventh grade teacher noticed a particular drawing and she recommended that I go to the Pratt Institute. I researched information about this school and was instantly amazed by the classes in fashion design offered to undergraduates. When I began attending the High School for Arts & Business, I finally took my first art class. I had wonderful art teachers, Mr. Serra and Mr. Fee , who taught printmaking, drawing, commercial arts, painting and photography. I showed them my latest drawings from eighth grade, and they were astonished by my creativity. They were surprised that I could draw since I had never taken an art class before. My teachers taught me many techniques to improve my drawing skills in creating garments for fashion design. I have taken many other classes that have expanded my interest in the art of fashion design such as Advance Placement Art History and Portfolio and Photography.
My art teacher Mr. Serra, a Pratt Institute graduate in 1970, has persuade me as well to go to Pratt Institute because he says this school has the education I need for fashion design and I will be an excellent and influential student for Pratt.
The history of fashion and culture have inspired my interest to create designs that combine the past and present. My fashion designs are diverse palette of styles in business, punk, urban, preppy and casual attire. Currently my focus and target audience is fashion for teens through their early thirties. As a prospective student at Pratt Institute, I hope to learn new techniques and skills that will enhance my knowledge in seeing what the fashion world is all about. Also I can see myself developing the confidence and the hard work it will take to put together a piece of clothing. The schools high diversity and artistic environment will allow to me grow into a field of creativity and experiences. It is close to my home town so I would not feel homesick and focus better in my academics. If I am granted the opportunity to be accepted to Pratt Institute, I would expand my understanding of different styles and ages to create fashion that is both stylish, comfortable and complimentary to every body type.
Fashion is a never ending cycle and I would love to be a part of it, even if I have to go through a mix of challenges and rejections. I know what I am capable of doing and giving up is not an option. To me, fashion has been my dream and I will never stop loving to create outfits and Pratt Institute can aid me to become a successful fashion designer.

Hi Everyone! I'm a landscape designer, running my own business, living on my own and supporting myself. I've recently become ill and I'm not able to work too much. The industry is also very slow right now. I need to find some work that I can do from home ASAP, or where I can set my own hours, as I'd really like to avoid having to go on disability.....it's just not my style!
Does anyone know of an organization or service that can assist me in finding a legitimate job like this? Part-time or temporary would probably be best, although I'd consider the right full-time job considering my circumstances. I'm not sure how long it will take me to recover.
Thanks so very much!
Ia��m new to the photographera��s side of the scene; however, I have experience as a model and graphic designer. Now I want to switch roles and become a photographer, or add to my list of interests & professions. I love crystal clear captures, when you can count the eyelashes on someonea��s eyelid or a landscape shot that looks as if you have 3D glasses on. I dona��t want to rely on my Photoshop skills to accomplish clear defined shots. But Ia��m clueless as to what to look for when purchasing a camera (pixels, shutter, etc). Ia��m concerned about price but not much. Ia��m looking at it as an investment, where I will get my money back plus some but if I can get a bargain, great. Not interested in film cameras, I think it would take me ages to learn the process, lol. Also considering going to a pawnshop. What do you think? Thanks!!
What's the difference between a landscape designer and a landscape architect? Also, how do you become a landscape architect/landscape designer?
My goal is into interior design and landscape design, how to reach clients? Any website I can post my service?
Hi, i was wondering what do i accuire to become a landscaping contractor/certified and also if anyone knows a great school to be a landscaping designer in san jose ca. My dad does landscaping but is not certified and since he is a minority and can speak much english, I will try to obtain it. So as much feed back will be greatful.
I am a sophomore i high school, and next year I will leave the school campus for the second half of every day to go take some engineering classes at Tulsa Technology Center. My Mom wants me to continue with this and become an engineer when I get older. I wouldn't mind being an engineer, but its not what I want to do most. I really want to become a video game designer ( I want to make models and landscapes, or maybe a level designer). I have looked into it, and I have talked to my Mom about it. She thinks I should keep working and focusing on becoming an engineer because she thinks it would make me happier, and it would be easier for me to get job, etc. I showed her video game designer salaries, but she thinks it would be too hard for me to get a job as a video game designer. If anyone has any advice, information, etc., I would GREATLY appreciate it. Also, does anyone have any advice on what I should do if I do try to become a video game designer?
i'm 18 years old i wanna know what classes i should take to become a Landscape designer and in what to major in?
I have wanted to be a landscape designer for a long time. I had to go to the most affordable school in my state though. This school does not offer Landscape design or anything like that. I asked the school if I would be able to become a landscape designer with major: Agri Business / minor: Horticulture. I do have a work study job with the schools master gardener who also designs the landscapes on campus. I am getting a lot of experience working with her that I can add to what I already know about landscaping. I have also been drawing landscape designs for fun since I was in high school and gardening since I was real little. I have a lot of experience with plants and I know a lot about plants. This is the only school that I can got to so I hope this major and minor will help me. Thanks to all who take the time to read this and answer. I also want to own my own nursery.
i want to go back to school two become a home designer. i want to be able to build and design houses...but i also want to learn how to decorate and landscape. whats the tech. name for these careers.

I didn't eat frm 2am tues till 8pm yserday(Thurs) I thought I could've gone longer but I was getn dizzy n I didn't wnt mom 2 get suspicious so I had a big dinner w/ her.my friends r nerds mostly cuz I got rejected by evry1else. I hardly have ne girl friends. I feel so stupid cuz I used 2 b as smart as them but I dunno, I got stupid sumhow. I stopd bing smart so mostly I gave up. espec in maths. I have no idea wht I'm gonna do when I get out of school. I used 2 wnt 2 b an architect but it has become clear 2 me that I'm 2 stupid n obviously not creative enough so I'll prob end up running off 2 sumfin like landscape designer or florist(atleast I'd enjoy being stupid then)my dad's gf is a self rightious bitch who insults me infront of my dad 2 get bck @ him in a fight thn nxt min. they're lovey dovey.

also I would like to say in response to some of the answers I have already read: firstly I do txt a lot but the shorthand was because I was going to run over the character limit otherwise, 2nd I probably weight bout 110 (lb) so realistically on the rare occasion that I am sane I know I'm not as much of a whale as I think I am, 3rd I was reading this article today and I think I might have a relatively mild form of bi-polar disease/syndrome.
peace out

I am thinking about starting an organic garden center business. I do not have any experience with retail. Another option that I am considering is to become a landscape designer. It seems like going the landscape designer route would be less risky than entering the retail world, but I have to say I am drawn to the garden center business. Any ideas, advice? What should I consider before making my decision? Any advice would be helpful and appreciated.

Does any one have any advice or links I can use in becoming a Landscape Designer?
I love to garden. I read A LOT of books and magazines on gardening, landscaping just plants in general. I have some landscape software that I enjoy and thought that I could peruse my interest and make a career out of it. What steps do I need to take??
I am planning on going to college to become a landscape designer.
When I get out of college I want to start my own landscape design bussiness.
I am going to college to become a landscape designer and I would like to know what would be a good job to have now to prepare me for that career?
Alice was an 18-year-old schoolgirl, who later wrote a newspaper advise column and published several romance novels. Tom was a 26-year-old graphic designer who later became Canada's greatest landscape painter. Their summer romance ended abruptly and he returned home to Owen Sound, Ontario. Why?
I have a love of plants, an unwanted law degree, a desire to work as a landscape designer, but no real or proffesional experience in landscaping. Should I consider more schooling or trying to get a job at a nursey, if possible? I more school is the answer, what degree?
