While I was attending the World Architecture Festival and a guest blogger, I came across this. I am including this and I have deleted who sent this in because this should be put into every designer’s lessons learned file:
1. Do not send presentation materials to an international architecture festival to compete against other design projects and not check it beforehand that everything is perfect.
2. This cost the firm over 500 Euros (at least $750 USD) to submit.
3. The Autocad drawings of the house, the floor plans, and the actual layout on the board itself is balanced and in porportion.
4. The fonts and the size of the images were big enough so anyone could see them.
4. Make sure to bubble wrap the edges of your project- I keep thinking back to the Ace Ventura movie where Jim Carrey played a UPS deliveryman and was kicking the package throughout the hallway. Unfortunately, this project looked pretty beat up.
As a designer, I take what I have seen and try to make it better. If you only see the “best,” how do you know

Having worked in other industries other than interior design, it is the final product that makes or brakes you.
