Interior Design Programs For Mac
Just wondering – Mac or PC?

So I'm a year for the first time in an interior design program for my second year and is supposed to buying a laptop pretty spiffy. I would like to start out now a stadium that is needed to obtain, since it must serve a minimum of a certain amount requirements and such, but I was wanting to ask this question and hope I could get some "geeks" (I use that term lovingly) to clarify what the pros and cons of these two different systems would be. I've been a PC person all my life by default of what my parents to buy, but now I have a choice. Also note in mind that I need to get the most out of my money since I'm a starving college student. Thanks!

The PC is much better. Macs have a lot design programs and seemingly better video and graphics editing, but the hardware is too expensive for you end up getting a Mac slow for the price a fast PC. Pieces have a huge library of software, because they are widely used. Can run Mac OSX and Windows and most major system components version of Windows and all other major operating systems except Mac

I have to write a research essay about interior design.?

I’m trying to go to college to study interior design next year. I have to submit a research essay about it and I don’t even know where to start. Please help. Don’t recommend websites or TV please. I prefer books and current magazines.

Before you start looking in books and magazines you have to have your topic or you’ll have a hell of a time getting it done.

The best way to approach this is think about something with interior design that you can really focus on. Maybe a designer you like, or a current or past trend?

Once you have that take that idea and become even more specific. Maybe you can research about a specific technique with a trend or something specific that a famous designer contributed.

The more specific you are the easier it is to find information about it and the easier it is to write the paper because you’re not stretching yourself all over the place.

And remember, a comparison paper is not a research paper, so stay away from pro vs. con ideas.

As for where to search for your information, I’m not sure. If you know someone at a local university you could maybe have them search through electronic journals and articles through whatever service their university uses. I think a lot of universities use EBSCO which is amazing and their almost all scholarly sources. And then there’s always the library. Most local libraries should be able to send out for books they don’t have.

bests photography colleges in London?

I’m new in London, I was a fashion photographer in Spain ( www.flickr.com/photos/michirri ) and I want to study the career here in London. The problem is I have no idea of where to go. A friend of mine starts fashion design at the Saint Martins in January and I was wondering what colleges are the most famous for this kind of photography and if I could start in January too. Thanks

Phases Of Interior Design Process
What are some good environmental survey questions?

Preferably about recycling or going “green”

The survey is for college students.

In school, there are two types of tests: thinking tests and regurgitation tests. Thinking tests are designed to get the student to think of aspects of a topic that may not have been presented through the assignment work. Regurgitation tests are designed to find out if the student has a grasp or knowledge of the material presented in the class.

Surveys can be used in either way also: to promote additional thought or to find out what is known. However, if surveys are used as a data gathering tool in a statistically valid assement, it is critical that they generate unbiased data. This means that they do not lead the responding population towards answers and, typically do not promote additional thought beyond what is. Sometimes a survey will have some questions through out and/or at the end for responders’, text based, further information, edification, input, and/or suggestions.

In all cases of data gathering, statistically massaged research, and reporting/charting – The most important question is: What do you want to know? All too often we start designing our charts and tables before we’ve decided what they should tell us. We decide what our charts and tables should tell us before we ask why in the heck we’re going through the entire effort in the first place. When we discuss the data gathering phase, all too often we fail to properly use already existing data. Sometimes we go on our own collection safari when the data is already being collected as a function of an on-going process. Or, we descend up on existing data without truly understanding what it represents, what was measured/counted, how, and in which part of the system; computerized vehicle diagnosis systems are a typical example of this. Even so, all too often we decide where and how we can collect a process’ data before asking ourselves just what is it we do know, want to know, need to know, or want to monitor.

I would start by asking you if you want to know what students at your college are personally doing towards recycling? if they have adequate recycling opportunities afforded to them in their departments/classes? if they have adequate recycling opportunities afforded to them in their off-campus dwellings? if they have adequate recycling opportunities afforded to them in the on-campus dwellings? – Or, do you want to know how much dollar and time effort students are currently expending on green activities? how much more they would be willing to expend? what types of green activity support could the college provide their students? – Or, do you discover what green activities students are participating in today and are they likely to attempt to continue when they leave college? how and to what level students are culturalized in a green life-style without even realizing it? or just plain why students are actively green? – There are probably a zillion more general and/or topical questions. For example, questions relating to transportation, electrical use in the dwelling, interior climate control measures, their general environmental knowledge, and more.

If you want a quick and easy survey – Ask yourself if your college’s students have the vocabulary basics required to understand basic environmental concepts and popular news reports; the reports in local and national newspapers and periodicals. Without research through AP type and local news paper reports, general magazines like Time, business trade journals like the Forbes, maybe a professional journal for K-12 type teachers, the Wall Street Journal, and maybe even a general arts and sciences periodical like the Smithsonian – I can come up with: ecosystem, sustainable, water shed, environment, carbon emission, wet land, contaminate, old growth forest, species, endangered species, ….and so many more. Make your “survey” a multiple choice, vocabulary test. Depending upon your interest and/or need for correlations, you might want to categorize your words into areas such as biology, chemistry, zoology, etc…, or areas such as general, woodland, ocean, land fill, energy, etc… Note: If you do develop categories, you can reduce skewing by mixing the words up rather than having the words of each category listed together on the survey. You could also begin the survey by asking a few environmental, self assement questions like: are you environmentally aware? concerned? knowledgeable? have you taken any environmental courses? A survey like this may be as humorously un-funny as the TV show, “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?” or some of Jay Leno’s questions on the street interviews.

Anyone know of a job or internship in the design industry Interior?

I am a student from an accredited 4-year graduation this year. I am very aware of the concern for economy and fear that you will not find a job to pay school loans! If anyone knows of a designer Interior Architecture Society or contract or take interns please let me know! Thanks:)

University of Dreams is a program internship with programs in cities around the world. All practices include room and board, transportation to and from work, weekly seminars, and activities so week – is a great program! Many of the interns are offered full-time positions when complete. I put in Los Angeles and had an amazing experience. They have great opportunities especially in the interior design business in some very notable.
