Comment on Interior design? by PaperBoy

There are lots of opportunities in this field, you just need to be very passionate about it and have to be the best in your field.

I’d suggest searching thru job sites such as monster.com, careerbuilder.com as well as the classifieds sections of craigslist for possible internship or career opportunities. It’s also always good to have lots of contacts in your industry, be as outgoing as possible and network while you are still in university!

You got it. Health, safety and welfare of the space and how it affects the user. Functionality is huge, of course. And "Universal Design" meaning designing spaces that will function for every user, no matter what age, height, or ability they have.

You also become you’re client’s advocate when dealing with suppliers and contractors.

It’s a very social role, communication and organization are essential. It’s also very sales related. You could have the most inspirational designs in the world…but if you can’t sell them…you’re not going very far.

A very important thing to realize about being an Interior Designer is its VERY dependent on economic times. Like right now, it’s getting very tough for a lot of designers. The demand is drying up in many places. Being a designer for someone is a luxury, its not a career that stays stable over the years, so you need to be diverse about what your skills are.

Comment on How do i prepare a portfolio for college for interior design or design and management? by Henry

All applicants must submit a portfolio consisting of 8 to 12 pieces of work including, but not limited to, drawings, paintings, photographs, digital media, or design.

And they strongly discourage doing portfolio on your major only.
For eg. (and obviously for interior design you need to do perspective, having lot of bunch of interiors of building is NOT recommended by them

For design and management they say: drawing, video, photography, animation, or websites, blogs, videogame mods or other media are applicable. Beside the Above.

What i found interesting in Parsons compare to other design schools is that, they really want you to be able to draw well. Take art courses in school, and work some perspective/interior at home.
(different mediums too!, doing all pencil is just.., boring and bad)

interior design at parsons is hard, i wish you the best of luck.

Comment on What is the difference between interior design and interior design+foundations for design? by John J

Foundations of Interior Design balances the theory of interior design with its practice as an applied art, combining real-life examples with a historical and conceptual look at design theory. In some courses it is an equivalent to years 1&2 of BA Honors Degree. Also look at the the entry reuirements for the courses to see if you need a pre-req.

It all depends on what the school describes as the courses.

You will need to check with whomever answers questions for your design program as to which one you should take; its impossible to answer for the data above exactly. That way you will get the best answer for your school. One may be for the degree & the other just an intro class etc.

Well if you are accepting checks make sure to open a business account or have them make the checks to you and not your business name. You cannot deposit checks made to a business into your personal account unless you have a DBA (Doing Business As). This is a business/personal account.

You also cannot cash checks made to your business. They must be deposited and then withdrawn for tax purposes. To cash them or deposit them into a personal account is tax evasion.

Staples or Ebay would have the software to get you started! It will just get you learning about all the basics and stuff.

Depending on where you live, you WILL need a license to call yourself an interior designer. You may also need a license to have an interior design company (I know you do in Texas). Maybe this will help:

As far as the catalogs, they come from the manufacturers. You usually have to prove that you are an interior designer to get one for free, else you may have to pay for them. You can contact the company who will put you in contact with a rep who will help you.
