Interior Design

In my junior year of high school i took a interior design class. I dont know what it was about it, but i absolutley loved it! Just the concept of designing how a room looks and everything, it fascinated me! For some reason i just knew thats what i wanted to do! its like it just clicked with me or something. I loved my teacher also. She was my teacher for other classes i had taken at Aquinas, so i already knew her. She will always be my favorite teacher at aquinas. I had her for five classes, i felt like her room was a second home. I think she helped me alot when i was deciding what to do for college, and i feel like i can still go to her when i need help. As for the future, i would like to have like my own business or something and decorate peoples houses for them.

My Interviews

Over the weekend i asked a few people what they thought about this particular pair of sunglasses. Here were some of the best responses i received to my questions:

Q1: Do you think these sunglasses look like theyd be comfortable to wear and if youve worn them, were they comfortable on your face?
A: Well the plastic looks rather uncomfortable and the the way the sunglasses curve around your ear looks like it would dig into your skin.

Q2: What would you do to make it more comfortable? 
A: Make them form to your face more in a way, so they arent just sitting uncomfortably on your face, also make the nose piece softer some how.

Q3: What kind of materials would you do to make these sunglasses a better design?
A: I would think a better quality plastic would work. not a super nice plastic but anything more durable and better than the kind used here. 

Q4: If you were looking at these sunglasses, would you buy them just because they way they look? Do you think they have appealing and stylish design?
A1: No, they look like something my grandpa would have worn.
A2: Yes they have a sleek and modern feel to them that would look stylish and easy for anyone to pull off.
A3: They look like something youd find in a fraternity.

I thought the video we watched in class was so cool. It showed a full process of what it takes to make a new design of something. It helped me realize how the whole process works.
