Public view of interior design

 The public is jaded when it comes to interior design. The media portrays the decorator side of interior design, because pretty picture and paint hues are entertaining. Renderings, furniture orientation, and color selections are aspects of interior design however, what the media does not show are the entire design process. Producers, writer and directors of these series want to make an entertaining program and want ratings. For example, when “Real World” producers view applicants video submittals there are psychiatrists who will inform them which applicants will cause conflict within the house. As for the mainstream series even the shows that hire professionals in the industry they still get thing misconstrue. My mother, a nurse, complained at the television for forty-five minutes about all of the mistake that the Doctor in”House” was making. So it is not just the design field that has these problems, it is important to remember that it is the media’s job to entertain.

Globalization

As we progress towards the future technology has become even more expansive and necessary in numerous jobs. For interior design many aspects have been improved with the ability to connect with each other worldwide. Being able to have contacts and clients halfway around the world, and to be able to converse with distributers and manufactures in real time as opposed to via e-mail has become indispensable to our community. I do not know if I am in favor of designing a space that I have never been in or basing a design on the general characteristics of a population. I agree that you can obtain enough information to achieve a virtual experience that would mimic the space; however I feel that the only way to achieve the experience of the environment is through firsthand knowledge. I feel that visiting the site and experiencing s and interacting with the space is what enhances design. Human experience the world with all of their senses not just their eyes. The intangible aspects of a space are what give it its individuality.
