Task
Create the following technical image in a graphics application of your choice.
Details
Try to accurately reproduce the following design for a backyard. You can make the picture bigger than it is here, but it must fit onto a single A4 page.
Save the file as "Backyard Plan".
Notes
Pixel-oriented graphics applications (such as Microsoft Paint, AppleWorks, or Gimp) have a range of tools available to help draw images such as these. These applications are best for images that will become part of a web-based presentation.
Microsoft Word (and the other members of the Office Suite) have a range of drawing tools based on shape objects. They are often suitable for pictures and diagrams that are not too detailed or require sophisticated techniques. In particular, Word's drawing tools offer a variety of shapes that can be stretched, scaled, and in some instances altered.
Adobe InDesign has a much more sophisticated range of drawing tools. InDesign is regularly used for complicated or detailed images, and is well-suited for preparing images similar to the one here.
