How hard is it to get into the Wedding Planning or Interior Design feilds?

Question by tokengrl1: How hard is it to get into the Wedding Planning or Interior Design feilds?
I currently have a degree in Graphic Design, but I’ve been considering starting a Wedding planning buisiness or becoming an Interior Designer. I plan to go back to school either way, but I don’t know anyone in these fields. So I’m wondering how hard it is to get into these fields and be succesfull. I have a little experience doing both and think I’d really enjoy either one.
Thanks in advance!
I hadn’t really thought of commercial or domestic interior design. They would probably both be pretty rewarding. I suppose commercial would be a little better with larger budgets and customers probably have a clearer idea of what they want.

Answer by Slim
By Interior Design, do you mean commercial or domestic?

I’m a commercial interior designer, and generally it is not a difficult industry to enter, but you won’t get far without the skills and/or qualifications.

Domestic Interior Design is a difficult business as so much of it is about building a customer base and word of mouth. Once you have a good reputation, you can go far, but getting there can be a very long journey.

If you really, really want this, then be prepared for some very hard (but rewarding) work.

Good luck

Slim.

Additional :
Domestic – You are employed for your creative ideas, but then have to adapt/amend/concede to the ideas of the client, however good/bad there taste is.

With both, budgets are relative, but you can get to do some cool stuff if you’re lucky.

I could personally never do domestic, as I could never stand in front of somebody and tell them that there ideas are OK when I really think they stink (don’t mind doing it with commercial as it’s rarely personal)

How can I find out where to purchase wall art from the movie ‘Shrink’?

Question by : How can I find out where to purchase wall art from the movie ‘Shrink’?
I really like the ocean/waves print in the doctor’s office. Thank you!

Best answer:

Answer by Lilly
I never saw that movie, but you can get custom prints like that a lot of places online. If you have the picture (which you can purchase from Shutterstock or something), you can upload to the MyDesign Suite of Uppercase Living: http://rosslyn.uppercaseliving.net/Home.m

You can get them printed on canvases or you can mount them on vinyl right to the wall, which looks cool. Good luck!

Unusual Air Plants – Home Decor Ideas – as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. I am going to show you some of my air plant designs. These are my one of a kind air plant pieces. Air plants are plants that grow without soil. All they need is moderate light, proper air flow, and a little water every week. I design a fertilizer that comes with every purchase. It helps with blooming cycles like this plant, and it helps with reproduction like this plant you see here. One of my first pieces that I am going to show you is this vintage doll head. One of its eyes has been removed and and air plant has been put in its place. The dolls blinks back and forth. He is kind-of creepy. He is from my creepy, cute collection. Another one of my pieces is this tektite rock, which is a meteorite rock, with an agate carved skull sitting on it and an air plant growing from it. It kind-of reminds me what life would look like on other planets. This next piece is an agate geode and it is got an air plant curved around it is side. All these air plant pieces do have the plant attached to them so when you water them, all you have to do is soak them and it is that easy. And, this is one of my more magnificent pieces that I love. It is one piece of quartz that is been carved into a skull, hand polished. On its top is a blood drews crown. It is beautiful in detail and living on its head, sort-of like an Indian chief, is an air plant that is growing from it. Also, what is really amazing about this is

Answer by rstylist26
Go to the Mall and look inside their stores to see how everything is set up. Where they put their clothing, shoes, and accessories etc. Get creative with it! Once you get an idea you’ll find your theme. We can’t give you a theme. Also you can look up greek , french styles.

TEDxPhoenix – Kelli Anderson – Disruptive Wonder for a Change

– About Kelli Anderson – Kelli Anderson is an artist, designer, and tinkerer who enjoys the challenge of seeking out hidden possibility in the physical and digital world. From interactive paper to layered, experimental websites, everything begins and ends in Kelli’s Brooklyn studio which houses a 1919 letterpress and an assortment of other benevolent contraptions. Kelli believes that the world is full of order that doesn’t necessarily deserve our respect, and in her TEDxPhoenix 11.11.11 TEDxTalk, Kelli inspires us to change the world around us by rejecting normal order, messing things up, and causing millions of teeny-tiny disruptions to whatever is sitting in front of you. Website: kellianderson.com On Twitter: twitter.com – About TEDxPhoenix 11.11.11 – The theme for TEDxPhoenix 11.11.11 was “______ for a Change” and featured speakers from around the US who are exploring unique ideas that have brought about unexpected, interesting, and positive changes. Five hundred people from all over Arizona and the western US gathered at the Mesa Arts Center for an evening of thought provoking and entertaining talks. The opening title (vimeo.com and speaker video intros were created under the design and direction of TEDxPhoenix Art Director, Safwat Saleem (@safwat). Motion graphics and animation provided by TEDxPhoenix volunteer Qa’ed Tung (@qaedtung). Video editing of this TEDxPhoenix TEDxTalk was done by UAT Digital Video student, Kennedy Gray, under the guidance of UATDV Program
