My Grand Journey Part II
It gives me great pleasure to show all of my lovely followers and readers the finished 3D Visuals, that were used in Grand Designs Live 2014.
The Art of Displaying Your ‘Stuff’
Let’s take a look at how you should be displaying your worldly goods, shall we? By following these tips, you would STILL be able to make random purchases from a Charity shop (while blindfolded) look good.
BHS Is Getting Its Freak On!
I’m thinking that maybe there’s been a huge shake-up in the management structure or something because there’s been some pretty drastic restyling within BHS…and it’s all good!
Pushing the Boundaries of 3D Visualisation
Consider this my very first ‘photography’ exhibition. These spaces and their design elements do not exist. But they are very real in my mind.
Brushing Up On Photoshop
Becoming newly acquainted with Photoshop can usually be broken down into 3 separate stages of development. The first stage requires effective utilisation of deep breathing techniques, regular comfort breaks, and determining that your general state of anxiety is the result of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. Naturally, all of the above will have occurred before you’ve even determined how to […]
Oops, I Did It Again…
I like words. And consequently, I like letters. So it should come as no surprise that I like incorporating letters into the design of my personal space.
Sex and the City Challenge
I’m such a devoted follower of Carrie’s fictional greatness, that I was extremely amused and secretly chuffed when my friends drew comparisons between her life and mine, with the purchase of a desk for my city centre apartment.
Industrial Inspired Urban Chic
Industrial inspired design is everywhere you look in the interior design world at the minute. And it’s not a new craze to have stumbled onto the design scene but it has had tremendous staying power.
Period Property Photoshop Overhaul
I came across some pretty awesome photographs uploaded by a fellow Designer and when I clapped eyes on them I couldn’t resist doing a little bit of tweaking to exaggerate their vintage and extremely characterful properties.
Grand Designs Live 2014…And Me
When you receive an email from a fellow (past) student asking if you’d be interested in providing floor plans, elevations and 3D visuals for her interior room set that will be on display at Grand Designs Live 2014, you do not ignore this email.
Black & White – Embrace It Don’t Fear It
Monochrome is a term that describes varying shades of one colour. It is not correct to describe a room that has been designed using a colour palette of black and white as Monochrome. Let’s summarise…
Vintage Vases: They’re Hot, Hot, Hot!
I’ve been doing a little bit of internet trawling in an attempt to gleam whatever inspiration I can for the current design scheme that I’m putting together. I’m talkin’ decorative accessories, here.
The Secret Life of the Desk
I recently acquired a new desk. This was an important purchase for a few reasons: I was starting to suffer from Repetitive Strain Injury, yes, yes very funny but seriously it ain’t a pleasant feeling. One afternoon, after having spent all day on my laptop (from the comfort of my sofa) the index finger of my […]
Post Processing – Who Knew?
As a self-taught devotee of all things CAD related, I’m continually finding myself on a journey of discovery even though I’ve been dabbling in the ‘art’ of 3D rendering for well over a year now (trust me, it’s an art – my hair-pulling, feet stomping and sulking can vouch for that!!). But I’ve stumbled upon something […]
Design – It Isn’t Just Aesthetics
I’ve become acutely aware that not everyone shares my keen interest in and enthusiasm for all things interior design related.
Online Interior Design Services – Friend or Foe?
So, in an attempt to develop my (3D Visualisation) Freelancing empire and edge ever closer to my overall personal objective of world domination (realistic goals are important, right?), I’ve undertaken a little market research to establish how I can do this (not the world domination part, I’m talking about the Freelancing part). It’s obvious that my target market is […]
Back to Basics – The Humble Light Bulb
Sometimes I’m continually amazed at just how much my taste has changed from I started studying interior design. Here I am, researching various types of lighting for a commercial space and what am I drawn to? Light bulbs. Plain, good ‘ol fashioned light bulbs. Doesn’t sound overly astounding, offensive or ground-breaking. But when I say ‘light […]
