Interior Design?

[Aspiring Visualizer!]

Just wondering if any of you have taken any Interior Design classes?

 

When you furnish an interior rendering of a house for example, do you decorate it yourself or the client gives you the instructions and obviously the colours?

[Tim Nelson]

If I tried to design my own renderings I would not have a job!

 

My original path to this was actually through interior design/architecture. I never took any interior design classes, but I did learn a lot through work experience.

 

But really, if you are a renderer, your job is not to design anything. Its to take somebody elses design and make it look great. There are times when I do make some minor design decisions, but I could really care less about that.

Same here, I've got a degree in Architecture but I rairley have the opportunity to do any desin, interior or otherwise.

Yup, I've got two degrees in architecture, but I am very happy to separate 'rendering professionally' from 'designing architecture/interior design'. I prefer everything to be spec'd before I begin and nothing left for me to think about, that way you can focus and not get caught up in whether you like it or not.

I am fully qualified interior designer and find it extremely helpful in what we do. Most often our clients do not have their ducks in a row when it comes to their presentations and will ask us to make it "hot"... We do help out our clients and they seem to appreciate it.

I have two degree in architecture and take an active role in the design process.

Working "in-house" usually means 3d is also used as a design tool as much as a presentation tool, so I get to use my architectural design backaground to enter into design discussions and be influential.

I think you should take the classes if you see your career going in the direction of working inside a architecture or interiors firm or think you can offer design as an additional service.

Graphic lyceum -> academy of arts (design and publicity) 12 years experience as a freelance conceptmaker in advertising, making up rediculous stories and slogans, artpainter during my sparetime. Nope, no architectural degrees here, but autodidact, awareness for good composition, colours and how to play with moods (and clients:-).

i got a degree in architecture. working in a small company gives me a chance to render my own design as well as making the presentations. mostly my work is in for architecture but was given a chance to make interior design. i learned making interiors from work experience.

 

as for making interior renderings, the furnishing sometimes came from client's output but depends on how detailed they gave their preferences and for that, you can add some elements to make your image much better. some clients want to see our ideas in which given the opportunity to show off our design as well as our taste.
