来自专筑编辑刘庆新的报道。在这个最新的项目中，我已经用几个月的时间创建了许多图。我准备将所有这些信息汇编到文件夹里，就像我做的码头项目一样。任何人读到我这篇日志就会知道我喜欢设计文件夹和展示面板。我喜欢看到一个建筑项目的所有部分归在一起，这样，复杂的信息就组成了一个简单的故事。在最近一组的信息延伸中，我按照码头项目的例子，在一个简单的项目中运用几种风格的形象化设计。我更倾心运用不同风格的方式，因为这样有趣，更吸引观众眼球。我也喜欢转换布局，从这个延伸到那个，比如把一个全幅图转换成底部垂直布局，然后又转换成水平布局形式等。从一种延伸到另一种延伸的过程中，这种风格的变化也创建了不同的好流程。因此，我用这些微妙的变化来“连接”每一页。在这种情况下，我用同样的蓝绿色标记变化的数量将页码关联起来，也包括同样的字体风格和大小。这样，读者就会喜欢看，而不是感到困惑。这就是我关于生成一个好的文件夹设计的好建议。

It has now been several months of working on this latest project from which lots of imagery has been created. I’m ready to start compiling all of this information into portfolio spreads similar to what I did for the wharf project. Anyone that reads this blog knows that I love designing portfolio spreads and presentation boards. I like seeing all of the parts of an architectural project come together and the complexity information get organized into a single story. For this latest set of spreads, I followed suit with the wharf project and combined several styles of visualization in a single project. I prefer this approach of using different styles because it keeps things interesting •and better engages the viewer.  I also like to switch up the layout typology from spread to spread such as going from a full bleed illustration into a vertically based layout that then transitions into a horizontally based layout, etc. It can get difficult creating good flow from one spread to another with so much change in style so I use subtle moves to “connect” the pages. In this case, the same teal color was used in varying amounts to relate the pages as well as the same font style and size. It’s this dance between keeping the viewer engaged while not confusing them that generates a good portfolio design in my opinion.

一般情况下，在文件夹中我喜欢拿一个标志着一个新项目开始的粗略的简单图层和超大文本开始一个项目。最让我感到头疼的是，当我看别人的文件夹时，我不知道项目在哪里结束了，也不知道另一个项目从哪里开始的。

I typically like to start a project off with a brutally simple layout and large text signifying the start of a new project within the portfolio. One of my biggest pet peeves is looking through someone’s portfolio and not knowing where a project ends and another one begins.

我也认为重要的一点是，项目开头应该有描述位置的信息，这样方便看图者能确定方向。

I also think it is important to have a spread early on in the project describing the location and orienting the viewer.

从那里开始，我引入了格式，并解析了怎样和为什么采用这种设计方式。

From there, I introduced the form and a break down of how and why it was designed the way it was.

在这点上，我想将参照物从图表模式转到关于街区图上一些小插图中比较有趣。以前的延伸图讲的是概括的街道设施，所以这些延伸图将会更有深度。

At this point, I thought it would be interesting to jump out of diagram mode and into some vignettes at street level. The previous spread talks about the street engagement diagrammatically so these spreads will go into more depth on the subject.

我没有将平面图渲染出来，而是更喜欢将它们保持非常清晰的图标格式，这样较易读。我也喜欢将平面图和立面图与截面图联系在一起，这样人们更容易看出它们之间的关系。我需要确定的一件事就是这张延伸图要以剖面图的顺序排列，和平面图的尺寸相同，并增加图示比例。

I’m not into rendering out floor plans but instead prefer to keep them extremely diagrammatic and easy to read. I also like to combine floor plans with elevations and sections so that the viewer can better see the relationship between them. One thing that I need to fix with this spread is to size down the elevations to be the same scale as the floor plans and add graphic scales. This will help avoid any confusion and aid in the reading of the page.

这张雪景图看上去是一张可以结束项目的好图，因为它能给人留下深刻的印象，同时也是因为这是一张全景设计图，展示了和周围环境的关系。

The snow scene seemed like a good image to end the project on because it is memorable but also because it is a view of the entire design and shows its relationship to the surrounding context.
