The Link Between Graphic and Interior Design

Hello World!  Welcome Friends!  Even though graphic and interior design are similar professions that attract creative people, they are actually more different than they are alike. Both disciplines do share some basic similarities such as working with stakeholders to complete projects. Graphic and interior design professionals are beginning to find it valuable to collaborate with other creative disciplines. Working together produces more new and innovative ideas for both. This enables them to present unique and creative projects to their clients.

Meeting Design Goals and Challenges

Graphic and interior designers work to find creative solutions that enhance the quality of life for occupants of a structure. It’s a challenge to create designs that are attractive and functional at the same time. The goal for both is to improve life for a building’s occupants. They have learned that earning a bachelor of graphic design degree requires mastering many disciplines that also apply to interior design. The primary objective of each professional is to present and implement creative and thoughtful solutions for their clients.

The Evolution of Graphic Design

Like most professions, graphic design has undergone some major changes over the years. The advent of technology has had an impact on graphic design as an industry. Graphic designers use various methods to create visuals of their ideas. They incorporate messages, symbols, and images in their designs. They utilize typography and images to create a product. Technology aids designers by making it easier for them to take creative briefs from their clients and create designs based on their requests. This artistic endeavor focuses on presentations and visual communications.

Normally these designers work with many different stakeholders when they are completing a project. Where pencils, pens, and ink were the primary tools used by graphic designers, computers are the only tools needed today. Maps, cameras and other photographic equipment also play a major role. Graphic designers must pursue an associate’s or bachelor’s degree to be competitive in their field.

Facts and Misconceptions About Interior Designers

Many people confuse the roles of interior designers with interior decorators, but they are significantly different. An interior designer creates a functional environment within a building. By using a systematic process that incorporates research, knowledge, analysis, and creativity to improve the surroundings for clients. A good interior designer understands that human behaviors are influenced by their surroundings. Interior designers listen to the wants and requests of their clients and proceed to formulate their plans.

Interior designers make use of detailed research to coordinate their projects. They employ space planning in their designs. They communicate with all stakeholders in a project to create and execute the design. They listen carefully before deciding on a plan. They are concerned with everything that takes up space inside a building, including the walls, windows, textures, fixtures, and furniture.

Many states require interior designers to be certified, says Alexis Peters, an experienced interior designer from Orange County, California. The NCIDQ certification documents qualifications and experience. While some of the elements between interior designing and interior decorating may seem similar, decorating is only concerned with finishing and adorning a space. Interior decorators help homeowners select furniture and accessories for their homes. They are not concerned as much with space as with the aesthetics of a room. Decorating a room requires creativity and an eye for color coordinating. There is no formal training or certification required for interior decorators.
