LND Digital Workshops offer training in the software used in today's landscape architecture, site development and civil engineering offices. These courses are focused on teaching digital rendering techniques for landscape and site design projects using SketchUp, Photoshop, and Illustrator with AutoCAD base material. The workshop material was created by landscape architects and is taught by landscape architects that have years of office experience as well as teaching experience at the university level (we are professors of landscape architecture at LSU). The workshops are 2-day hands-on training sessions in groups of 15 people or less. Each person is working at a computer so that you can "learn by doing", which in our experience is the best way to learn software. Click for more information and schedule
