Part 5: Drawing a design
4. Annotation
Amber Crowley / public domain
Annotations are labels which describe what things are on your plans. These annotations could be as simple as ‘wall’, ‘lawn’ and ‘shed’ or they could be descriptive annotations which provide information about the feature, for example:
‘1.2m tall brick wall constructed from red brick to provide screening from neighbour’s garden and wind protection’.
When you are annotating, use a ruler to draw the lines from your plan to your annotations and keep it as neat as possible. Some designers keep their lines parallel, which makes a design look more professional.
This looks neater...
than this.
