Fruits of my busyness

Desktop.4.9.10

Six more days until my senior showcase! But still four more weeks until the end of the semester. This is quite a conundrum, you see, because there are three projects that I'm working on right now that I want to display. What does this mean? Why, this means I need (okay, maybe more like want) to finish drawings for at least two of these projects for my showcase display, I must finish said showcase display, and I must also completely my portfolio (containing all completed projects up to this point in my student and professional career). By Thursday at 5:30pm.

Sometimes I find myself sitting down at the table, working on my projects, suddenly unable to breath. And then, I realize- hey, I've been holding my breath! And then it happens again a moment later. I can't stop doing it. Hopefully after next week I will begin breathing again, and find myself leaps and bounds ahead of schedule in completing my projects for this, my senior year of interior design school.

Desktop.4.9.10b

This semester I have been designing a retail space (I decided to design a vintage boutique, of course!), and this is the beginning of my digital rendering of the dressing room/cash desk area. Everything you see what hand drawn, scanned, and then illustrated in Adobe Photoshop. I will show you more drawings as I complete them! I'm pretty excited about this project in particular. Sigh. Okay, now I'm going to go back back to work! Huzzah!

    I decided to make the chair hot pink. Annnd the doors are blue and a warm brown, because they are both (along with the trim) reclaimed. I want to build this place.

  6. I just started my ID degree at Iowa State. I read your blog regularly, and I love these renderings! One of my favorite things about design school is seeing other designers’ creative processes. Please share more!
