For this post I prepared several different types of trifold brochures on the topic of interior design. It is made up company/studio for interior design. The reason why I selected this theme is purely subjective I simply like it. It is always neat and there are nice pictures of nice interiors. I did my research and went into recreating what I saw.

The brochure in creation changes ac cording to the available photos. I like to have a consistency in colour so I always pick the colour from the photos.

There is something criminal about copying or getting inspired from somebody else’s work, but I don’t think is bad. Nobody is that genius and we all want to learn.

By doing my little study I have learned that less is better. Big block of colours can make quite good visual statements. Also even it is difficult for me making a small plan makes things easier.

As people say practice makes perfect.

I sometimes have an issue with knowing where to stop, but this time around I really enjoyed it.

I also wanted to suggest do not try to call or look for any of these addresses as they are made up.

By writing this post I started to think who was the first interior designer?

Elsie de Wolfe, the first professional interior designer.

Born in 1865 in New York, de Wolfe was educated in New York and Scotland, and was presented at court to Queen Victoria in 1883. Back in New York, she developed an interest in acting, and met the woman who was to become her lifelong partner, theatrical agent Elisabeth Marbury, whose clients included Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw and Sarah Bernhardt.

Making her stage debut in 1891, de Wolfe toured the country with her own theatre company. Meanwhile, she and Marbury set up house together, and became something of an arty lesbian power couple, conducting salons that attracted New York’s fashionable set. 

I didn’t know this. It is heart warming she was a woman.

For creating this post I used Adobe InDesign and Adobe Photoshop for mock-up of the brochures into 3D.
