Lighting Design By Interior Designers
Friday, May 9th, 2008Joining an interior design class will be challenging, and at the same time, good fun. There are many career opportunities in interior design, this has led to more interior design schools opening in many cities. You can now find interior design classes at universities, high schools and community colleges not forgetting schools that specialize in interior design. You can even find interior design classes being offered on the Internet by various schools. Many of the design classes that you will find available will lead to a degree, diploma certificate. Gaining one of these can lead to a career in interior design education or with an interior design company, the career decision is up to each individual student.
Most interior design schools are very interesting, with most of the material presented being very practical and easy to apply. A good way to practice what you are being taught is when you return home you can rearranging furniture or give your room a face-lift by repainting it. Interior design classes teach a variety of subjects and one very important one is the subject of color. The student will be taught how to use colors in appealing and effective ways, such as changing the walls, painting the furniture or adding a floor covered such as a carpet. The appearance of your living space can be improved by proper blending of color.
Which interior design class to choose?.
Individuals who are interested in interior design can choose classes that cover many different subjects. Students can choose from subjects such as, how to decorate your walls, lighting design and placement, doors, and floor coverings. Let’s take walls as an example, they can be removed, entirely redesigned, they can be painted, you can put wallpaper on them or they can be left in their original state. By changing the walls you can change a room or the whole property in amazing ways, the possibilities are endless.
Most interior design classes will include in their curriculum architectural studies, the idea being that by studying Victorian houses or modern houses will help the students creativity, interior designer consultants definitely need to know about architectural design, and the interior design classes will provide this information. This will enable the designer to create interior designs that match the exterior design of the house. Students will also have to learn how to work with clients in a professional way, allowing them to guide and help a client with their interior design project.

Monday, May 5th, 2008Japanese Creative Barcodes
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008Cut out your UPC label and… frame it
Barcodes
, or UPC symbols, these ubiquitous emblems of our consumer civilisation, have received a radical makeover by a Japanese firm D-Barcode - and this time their ideas were printed on grocery products all over Japan.
Simple, yet brilliant ideas:
The first time you pick your bottle of pop or a package of milk, you might not even notice anything different, with all the intensity and typical clutter of Japanese package design. But take a closer look - and the charmingly designed UPC masterpieces will amuse you, make you smile, and might even cause you to go hunting for other products, to start your collection.
Trust Japanese to “glorify” every single mundane detail, to cheerfully enhance consumer experience - by adding something extra, a little thing, so easy to miss. But now, with these creative bar codes, the package design in Japan has truly become perfect.

Russian Barcode Posters
Art Lebedev design studio has been issuing wildly creative posters (featuring barcode symbolics) for years. View the whole creative gallery of them here and download some for your desktops. Some examples:
As you can see, there is truly an abundance of ideas… It seems that barcode symbols are ingrained in the very fabric of our reality. Philip K. Dick, for once, would’ve certainly spotted a conspiracy in all this. As for us, we’ll just keep shopping and innocently buying everything that scans.
Barcodes permeate modern design
Just try to have an exhibition of modern furniture without a few examples popping up, like this one:

Portraits, made entirely from UPC codes and barcodes? Sure, check out the gallery of Scott Blake. He’s got Monroe, Elvis and, of course, Jesus - which is a commentary on the consumerism and kitsch of our times.

And as it is a custom nowadays to finish with a cute or LOL-lified cat pictures, no matter what the subject of an article, here are the “Barcode Kitties!” - Hello Kitty spin-off for those in need of a truly geeky cuteness:
