After 3 Years


Time flies, ya?
It has been three years since my last post which was posted on September 2014.
You could have imagined how tough interior design life (even as a student) could be. 
My second and final year were filled with projects, assignments, pre-graduate exhibition, internships, projects, assignments and viva exhibition, and then graduate! =)
It has been one year since I have stepped into working life.
And it's totally a different life!
Anyway, this blog is going to be active again ( I wish to keep my passion to write =) )
Gonna fill it with those missing moments in degree life and perhaps the working life as well.
And I have a new theme for the blog, new breath for new start!

Let's talk about design!

Let's Learn About Architectural Lettering If You Want To be A Designer

First Lesson In Design Class: Learn How To Write A rchitectural Lettering If you think the first lesson in design class is something about design theory/ philosophy or probably some sketching, you are definitely wrong! If you want to be a designer or architect, your handwriting couldn't be sucks!  First of all, practice your handwriting, not freehand writing, but architectural lettering. Eventhough our drawings nowadays depend on AutoCad and some other softwares, in the past designers were drawing manually and therefore neat handwriting is crucial. Maybe You Will Be wondering: What Is An Architectural lettering? It is expected as a designer or architect that all blueprints, drawings and designs have architectural lettering. This lettering was established ages ago by architects so that all writing on blueprints were legible therefore costly mistakes would not be made. Practicing this lettering is still a necessary part of the curriculum in most architectu

Presentation Drawings

This is something I never expected. Blueprint,  a technical drawing that acts as a plan or model.  It documents an engineering or architecture design. Examples of blueprint: I need to draw the blueprints of 'THE HEXA' that I had done in the previous project! It is a very tough job as the design is quite complicated. Gotta pull up my socks to finish the project in time. Plan, front, rear, left and right view Two point perspectives to draw out 'The Hexa' with a human figure to indicate the scale                 Axonometric Drawing- isometric which is in 30 degree elevation Colour with Alpha Water Colors PS: I made mistakes in the drawing: the furniture should have some thickness to indicate its volume.  It is learning process anyway.

Mind Maps, Mood Boards, Conceptual Models, Renderings

Back to second year. Unlike the first year where all the newbies studied the same courses together, we were separated into our majors in second year. Mine was interior design. Well, a brand new year. We moved to second year interior design studio (a small studio just to fit 20 persons) and we got new studiomasters! (as we have our studio project as the main subject, we called the lecturers as studiomasters, masters who lead the studio) So, how to start a design? Do mind mapping. Take a subject and start to elaborate about it. The core is to think.  After brainstorming, choose three design elements and principles that could make the design works. Design elements: point, line, shape, form, space, color and texture. Design principles: balance, proportion, perspective, emphasise, movement, pattern, repetition, rhythm, variety, harmony and unity. A simple example: start with flower as the subject, we can elaborate into colour (design element), organic shape(design element),
