Job Searching

This week, my goal was to find a job. I am finding that it is quite difficult to find jobs in this area. Most jobs tht i find interesting are in New York of LA, which is way too expensive for me. Still, I did apply for a job this week, so fingers and all ten toes crossed! Hopefully I get a good recommendation this time...

Project Presentation

On Monday, I gave my project presentation to various design professionals. I have to admit, I was extremely nervous and did not feel quite prepared. The weekend before, my family's dog passed away from heart complications. It was very sudden and unexpected. Needless to say, I was not up for presenting my project. Thankfully, with the help of friends, I was able to successfully present my project and received positive feedback. The only part of my project that was not as successful was my FFE boards. One critic thought they were a little hard to read and that I needed to consider white space when assembling. However, another critic was okay with the layout of my FFE boards. In all, the critics provided ample positive feedback which made me feel more capable of my abilities and helped me realize that I need to give myself more credit. In all, I am happy with my project and my presentation...but I am also happy that that portion of the project is complete. Stay tuned for furniture/finish specs...

Final Presentation

After many sleepless nights and countless cups of caffeine, I am finally finished with the presentation portion of my project. I am extremely happy about how my presentation turned out and I hope you all like it as well. Enjoy!

Rendering Time

Over the past two weeks, my goal was to complete my floor plan and select all of my FFE so that I could begin the rendering process. My computer was not to keen on this plan and decided to crash a few times, but I am now in complete rendering mode and working like a crazy person trying to complete my renderings early so that I have time to test print. As of now, I have two renderings complete, two that are almost complete with a few minor adjustments that need to be fixed in Photoshop, one that is about 85% rendered in Revit and will hopefully be finished this evening, and 4-5 more renderings to go in Revit. I know that this sounds like a lot of images, but my philosophy for projects is that it is better to have to many images than not enough in case something happens. Below are my completed renderings so far. I will be posting them as I finish editing them in Photoshop, but for now....Enjoy!

And We're Back!

Yay for finally obtaining an Internet connection. I am happy to announce that I have finished my floor plan and assigning most of my FFE to my Revit plan! This week, my goal was to finish my Office Areas and tweak a few items. Here are images of my areas:

As I finalize a few minor details, I will be posting my FFE presentation boards as well as renderings as they are completed, so stay tuned!
