Unit 1: Professional Design Presentation Techniques & Types of Design Interior Design I Unit 1: Professional Design Presentation Techniques & Types of Design

Presentation Methods Lettering Rules Practice is necessary to develop the skills needed to letter legibly. All projects MUST have a title. Check spelling of all words for accuracy. ALWAYS use guidelines when lettering. Block letters are all CAPITALIZED Block lettering is the only lettering acceptable for project presentations. Letters should be bold and clear. Avoid making fancy, cute letters. Make each line quickly from the beginning to the end of the stroke. This makes lines straighter and more accurate.

Rules continued Begin the letter with a straight line, then add diagonal and curved lines. Letters will be written in a variety of sizes. Generally, the smaller the letter, the easier it is to write. Practice lettering in a variety of sizes. The size of the lettering is usually related to the importance of the labeling. For example, titles are lettered larger than notes in small areas. Spacing between letters is critical! Think of all the letters as being the same size, and approximately square. (“M” and “W” are a little wider.)

Rules Continued Write the word or title on a scratch paper. Count the number of letters including spaces. Start in the middle and work out with the lettering. Do not cross the J and I. Keep the point of your pencil sharp at all times. Select one style and be consistent. Be consistent in your spacing of letters and words. There are definite strokes to be used when lettering. Practice lettering, using the stroke guidelines shown on the next page.

Day 2: Types of Design

Activity: Get into groups of 4 Make sure someone has a phone with a camera in your group Go around the school and take photos! You need 1 example of decorative design, 1 example of structural design. You have 5 minutes! Good Luck!

Structural Design Simple Lines No ornamentation Cannot be separated without destroying the object.

Form Follows Function The form should reflect its intended use and fulfill its intended purpose. The first priority in a design is its function, which dictates the shape or form of a design. Example: a chair must still function as a place to sit regardless of design or ornamentation .

Both chairs are rocking chairs Both chairs are rocking chairs. The function is to have a chair to sit in and rock. They both have very different forms but they both achieve the same function.
