Paint By Numbers. Wednesday 04.29.09 0 by elise

This was one of our ideas for a way to show our graphics.  Mill Creek Farm inspired this  idea because they had no money for large prints. So why not do it yourself?  They have many volunteers, many of whom are children, who I would think would love to paint large pictures of fruits and vegtables. It would be a way to get the community involved and when the signs are done, help promote the farm. Since it is using the same graphics system it would also link the farm with the other urban farms using the same graphics. This is one of the options on our graph.

Making Our System Better. Wednesday 04.29.09 0 by elise

What we need to do for our final models and presentation is unify the different ways of displaying our graphics better. By having our graph  best explain each different way, whether it be a small community urban garden or an established urban farm, whether  you have 10 dollars or 100 dollars to spend, you can obtain a system of our graphics to unify your farm and link it with urban farming. Our graphic system has multiple options that you can choose and incorporate your own information into, like web site, address, logo…..whatever you want. This is what we need to strongly show. This is what we have so far.
