My overall year.

Since joining my FD Interior Degree course I personally think I have developed my skills well, I still have issues with a few areas but I plan to improve them over the coming summer. Those issues are in Photoshop and illustrator I actually feel as though I can use these software but not to the ability I would like I know the presentation of my work is vital to showing the quality of my work and to show how professional I can be with it. My S.W.O.T analysis has also helped my progress in my course because it allowed me to figure out what I believed to be my Strengths and Weaknesses so I could then work on improving my weaknesses rather than keep showing the best of my strengths, for the opportunities section I believe that a placement would widen my experience in this sector of work, I have gained quite a lot of confidence in myself in the form of verbal presentation something I would actually quite like to do at a professional level I feel I get my ideas and designs across better to people talking through my work rather than handing it to someone with a report for them to read I feel talking paints more for the imagination. I hope to take all my strengths and my improved weaknesses into the next year of the course and maybe if I get offered a placement take it into that also.

The future of living

It seems as though  in the design of living we are going backwards to go forwards, alot of homes and buildings are being built up around or with nature encoperated within it. so are being made purely from the resources found in the area and other are using nature to help fuel the energy they need. The advantages of this are obvious as it decreases the use of unrenewable sources and helps the environment, but on the other hand the aesthetics of the building are lost, in my opinion. I am all for the helping the environment approach but I would like them to be hidden features and not take the beauty of years of work away.

cockfield project

we have been given 4 weeks to complete a design or design for the place to be refurbished if we succeed in a successful design we could be chosen and our idea could be used for the project. after a brief presentation of the area and then a site visit we began the project after several designs and hours of work I created a model and rendered it and these are my favourite rooms of what I have decided to present.
