Virtual Swatched with IDS
Design Challenge:
It started on Tuesday, August 10th, they had a meeting with the designers to explain the rules and the details, on August 11th we received the floor plan in our email, and then the game started, I checked the measurements from the room, the prompt, and the “mystery materials”.
The first step was to think like the client, they liked the Mid-century style and were looking for a space for entertainment with a sophisticated look.
The initial thing that I created was a mood board that was based on the mystery items that they send us, and I have to say my creative process is unique, I don’t know if happens with every creative person, but I create the room in my mind, like a drawing and I do a rough sketch on the floor plan just to see if my thoughts make sense for that space.
Then I go research to start the color palette creation, the ergonomic studies of the space to select the right furniture, and then I look at some ideas for the general space.
Design Solution:
I had to deliver all the material on Sunday, August 15th, which wasn’t an easy task, I admit, a project like that takes more than 5 days to do, and to add more emotion I have a toddler that asks me for attention A LOT (Sometimes, and that’s not a complaint, just a fact to be clear =D ).
Gladly he remained calmer, most of the time, and I was able to dedicate my time to the project in a more intense way, of course.
I can’t fail to mention that I had the help of my partner, my dear husband who encouraged me and when I was at home gave me support so I could focus and be able to do a project quickly.
Now getting back to the project, I did all the things that I should deliver on Sunday 15th, the submission due to the project was midnight, and I delivered at 8 pm on that day, and on August 25th they announced the winners.
I didn’t win the game, but I had the most fantastic experience of working on a project with such short notice and being able to complete all the steps and have a great result with the images of this project, and for that, I’m very grateful.
One important thing to say about this project is that I incorporated the ergonomic rules and color psychology too so that I could have sure about the selections, and that all the furniture was appropriate for each space, a luxury space should be like the photos, beautiful and at the same time luxurious, every detail that you see have a specific intent for the spaces and also for the family.
Ok, ok if you are still reading this you must be very curious about the images, right?
