my final project
I'm finished! I'm done! I'm out! I'm graduating. Hooray. Yesterday was my last presentation as an interior design student. I mentioned before that I was designing a vintage shop. So I thought I would share some of my presentation images, since some of you might find it interesting (I'm sparing you from my healthcare facility and other tedious projects!). Keep in mind that there will be lots of merchandise added which adds to the vintage flair of the space. My favorite feature is hat box mobile display over the table at the entry. I wish I had more time to illustrate it properly! But without further ado…
Clothing will hang in most of the fixtures you see on the floor, but some of the fixtures are tables upon which displays will be arranged by visual merchandisers. Also, antique furniture will be utilized as fixtures, such as the armoire in the front space and a vintage credenza altered for use as a cash desk.
The concept for the aesthetic was for the space to be much like a hostel courtyard, with the back spaces to be like the inside of an old hostel- vintage wallpaper and all. The front space is the courtyard area and the materials are various building materials in weathered condition.
Here is a rough rendered elevation of what the space would look like from the entry. I'm not a big fan of elevation drawings, because they do not give a correct sense of the dimension of space. However… it was a requirement… so, yeah. :)
I'm sure you aren't surprised to know that I could go on and on about this project and share many more images! But I think I just need to let it go. Although I do wish I had taken a photograph of my finishes board that I used in my presentation. It's so much fun to see all of the colors and patterns together in one place. Alas, I waited until the last minute to prepare it and didn't have proper lighting to photograph the board.
But hooray! It's over! I'm quite a happy camper, although I can say with quite certainty that I shall sorely miss design school and my comrades. Sigh.
oh wow this is so cool. I
know some classmates who are
doing interior designing
and have always admired the whole
creative process (:
thank you for sharing!
it’s a lovely space!
Wow!!! I?m working on my last project too, and I love your drawnings!!! The last one is so beautiful! How did you do the shadows on the top view? I used to work with 3d studio max, but your finishes are so special!
Thanks guys! I rendered everything using photoshop. The elevation and perspective were hand drawn and then rendered in photoshop, but the floorplan was done on autocad and then rendered in photoshop.

you did a fantastic job!! i would love to visit a shop like this — all the wood & floral wallpaper/upholstery is so pretty!
Congratulations on graduating! Looks like you’ve done a great job!
Congrats on finishing your final project and your schooling! That’s so exciting! Your final turned out most beautiful :)
this is so cool. i adore. congrats, congrats on finishing! now please open this shop!! xo.
It looks so great! I always love these ‘pictures’ that combine patterns and sketches :) Congrats to your graduation! I hope I’ll manage mine in June :)
yay! congratulations!
It looks beautiful! Congratulations!
Very cool! You really brought the design to life with your finishes and renderings. Do you have any advice for finding tutorials on rendering in PS? It seems to be something we’re expected to do for our interior design projects, but I am having trouble finding good instruction.
Jillian, I would suggest taking a digital imaging class. They offer them in the graphic design department at my school and our interior design programs accepts them as electives. You learn all about Photoshop, and it’s extremely helpful! Good luck!
Congratulations on finishing, your final project is really brilliant, hey :)
congratulations! what an accomplishment!
you inspire me to get my schooling in order and get something finished myself :)
UM i absolutely LOVE IT!!
Congratgulations Dear!

these are lovely, I love your section and the depth to your plans.
I miss my degree now lol.
thanks for sharing! I’m also graduating this year, almost finishing my last interior design projects! I really love the way you render your hand drawn designs in Photoshop! Wish I could do it that way ;)
I really like your way of presenting the project.. Can I ask you where you found the stitching you used in your ‘design concept’? Love it!
As a former graphic design student this is just so fascinating to look at! How beautiful and inspiring :) I would *love* to live in this store… any plans to open it in real life someday? :)
Congrats on your graduation and thank you so much foer sharing your work! It is beautiful and so inspiring :o)
Elina, I purchased the digital stitching pieces at designer digitals: http://www.designerdigitals.com/

Congratulations, Mandi! I know you’ll do amazing things with your degree :)
