Aerial Plan View - Looking for Tips Tricks

[Anonymous]

Here is an open question,

I am looking to do a building site illustration. I don't want it to be 3D rendered, but I do want that type of look. I have a 2d drawn jpeg that I could drag and drop the imagery onto.

Does anyone know of shortcuts for TOP-DOWN entourage in color, perhaps ready made for PhotoShop? Trees, cars, asphalt, concrete. That type of thing.

Please don't compare this with Ivan's, but a quick and dirty from ArchiCAD worked well enough to win city planning group approval.

Exported EPS from ArchiCAD and imported into PhotoShop setting the resolution at 150 pixels per inch for a 20"x20" board.

Paint with layer control in PhotoShop, print, mount on foamcore and run to meeting.
