SUSTAINABILITY AND LANDSCAPE DESIGN There are five considerations in designing a sustainable landscape. The landscape should be: Visually Pleasing Cost Effective Functional Maintainable Environmentally Sound These considerations are not new nor have they been without considerable discussion. Problems arise, however when some considerations are forgotten or unrecognized until after the design process is complete and implementation has started.

  • Garden Design and Plant Selection
    Garden Design and Plant Selection Now that you have selected your project goals and learned about your site’s light and soil conditions, you can start designing your Stormwater Action Project. A design shows the shape of your conservation garden and the placement of plants, trees, and shrubs. It usually is done on a grid, so that you can plan the garden dimensions and pick the right number of plants. As you draw the plants on the design, you will leave the appropriate amount of space between them. (Different plants need different amounts of growing space.) The design process usually takes a number of draft drawings, as you try out different garden shapes and different plants. Here are some design guidelines that might help: Have fun and trust your creative spirit. A tree or shrubs can act as focal points or as backdrops, depending upon the site. Have a mix of short, medium, and tall plants. Usually, short ones go in the front and tall ones in The centers of perennial plants are usually 12 to back. 18 inches apart.

Tarkastelu lähtee muodostamalla yleinen käsitys vektorigrafiikasta sekä sen hyödyistä ja rajoitteista. Opinnäytetyössä käydään läpi erilaisia vektorigrafiikassa käytettyjä tiedostomuotoja sekä tutustutaan vektorigrafiikan käyttöön web-sivus- toilla. Erityisesti keskitytään SVG-formaatin käyttöön. Myös selaintuki on otettu huomioon. Lopuksi käydään läpi muutamia vektorigrafiikan ohjelmistoja ja niiden eroavaisuuksia. Case-osiossa käydään web-grafiikan toteuttamista käytännössä. Casen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, millaisia vaatimuksia vektorigrafiikkaohjelmiston suhteen todellisuudessa on, kun sitä käytetää web-grafiikan tuottamiseen. Työssä tutkittiin myös millaisia mahdollisuuksia ja rajoitteita on vektorigrafiikan käytössä web-grafiikassa. Casessa toteutettu web-sivusto tehtiin Lahden Seudun Kehitys LADEC Oy:lle. Vektorigrafiikkaohjelmistot muistuttavat käyttöliittymältään paljon toisiaan, mutta niiden käyttö on kuitenkin melko erilaista. Lisäksi käyttöjärjestelmä asettaa rajoit- teita. Myös ohjelmien helppokäyttöisyydessä löytyy eroja. Kaupalliset ohjelmistot ovat ominaisuuksiltaan
