Kindergarten colour site plan. LO > PDF > Indesign.
-
I was asked to prepare a coloured site plan for a kindergarten website and knocked it out this afternoon.
Drawn up in Layout and the layered PDF exported then dragged into Indesign to add the shadows.
The colour theme for the background, grass, driveway and buildings match the existing website.
Close up.

What is a gumnut?Hey thanks guys! Fun little job!
A gumnut is a pod from a gum tree (eucalypt)!
The trees I'm not sure where from, I've bought some packs of this in the past and others shot straight down on SU models or onxy imports - I've built quite a library but cant be sure where this one is from!
The LO files is bought into Indesign as a PDF where the layers hold up, the same could be done easily in PS but I don't know of a way to have the layers come in as well so each layer would need to be exported as a PNG! The Layers are managed on each copy of the PDF stacked via copy / paste in place and to each layer an effect added (either blending - for the trees, or transparency / drop shadow). The trees are added direct to indesign - LO seems to struggle with lots of larger images.
The LO Layers top to bottom and then as stack / effect in Indesign or PS:
Fencing again - to get it clear / transparency
trees - upper - hard light / transparency / shadow - added in Ind / PStrees lower - darken / transparency / shadow - added in Ind / PS
buildings - shadow
shade sails lines - Copy of Sails layer objects with no fill - no effect
shade sails - transparency / shadow
fencing - shadow
driveway - no effect
Site - no effect
Background - no effectA subtle noise is added to all drop shadows to give some texture!
If anyone knows how to get layers of a PDF into PS I'd love to know how!
