**G777902 Landscape Renovation Poster (Scoresheet CF111) - Take multiple photographs of a landscape that doesn’t quite look right because it doesn’t reflect sound design principles. Select a landscape in which you can make at least three design recommendations. Identify how the design principles (order, unity, rhythm, balance, scale or proportion, and emphasis) could be better integrated into the landscape, and how plants or materials with specific features (size, form, color, or texture) could improve the space. Reduce the opaqueness of the images to 50-60 percent and sketch plants, structures, materials, and/or amenities that could improve the overall design over the original images. The poster should include the original image(s) and improved image(s) and include a short explanation of how the landscape design was improved. Display on a poster mat board no larger than 22 inches x 28 inches. The 4-H member's name, age, county, and years in the project(s) must be on the back of the poster.
