One-Page Design Portfolio
Step 1: Research
Present only your most important research findings that influenced your design.
a) Research Design Principles (Explore fundamental interior design principles, including balance, contrast, rhythm, and scale).
b) Learn about color theory, space planning, and furniture arrangement.
You could find these interior design concepts by following the link above.
Step 2: Planning
With your client brainstorm and sketch your dollhouse design ideas. Consider the purpose of each room and how they will use space effectively. Consider design elements such as room layout and accessibility. You might want to develop a moodboard to help you visualize.
Choose color schemes, furniture, and decor for each room, expressing the personal style of your client. Think about how their choices reflect the function of each space - such as comfort in a bedroom or accessibility in a bathroom.
Step 3: Digital or Physical?
Choose how you will create your solution from the options below:
Research → Digital Plan (SketchUp, Illustrator etc.) → Physical Model
Research → Digital Plan (SketchUp, Illustrator etc.) → Blender/Cinema 4D (Photorealistic render)
> Maximum dimensions should not exceed a summed length of 90cm (width + length + height)
> The interior should be visible (open roof or missing wall)
Step 4: Portfolio work
