Wk 4 EOC: Wow

There are many different ways that a person can capture the attention of their audience. But which one will give the ultimate “wow” factor? For the Veer Tower project, there are 3 ways that this can be achieved. The first idea is to show a short film that the group put together and show that to the audience. The second idea is to make a commercial. The commercial can advertise the Veer towers and show the specific client that the Veer Studio is selling to. The last idea is to somehow entertain the audience. Whether it be with music, a story, or food and drinks, entertainment will be a great way to keep the audience engaged.

WK3 EOC: Brilliant Ideas

4 Interior Design is a Las Vegas interior design company which will design the modern bachelor pad for the Veer Towers. The target market for this design project is a young male client in his early 30s, looking for a high end place to live on the strip. To locate the perfect bachelor to occupy the space, our team will have find ways to promote our design services. This can be done in three different ways. The first idea is to create fliers and placing them at information desks around town. The second idea is to go to certain locations where bachelors are found frequently, get to know them, and talk to them about our company. The third idea is to put a one page advertisement in a male’s magazine.

Additionally, being a member of the PMI will give you access to PMI publications, volunteer and leadership options. Being a member means that you are serious about your project management career.

Week 1: My Voice

Hello everyone, this is my first blog. I am an interior designer for both residential and commercial spaces. I do not have a preference, I enjoy designing for both. I love the fact that residential and commercial are different. There will always be a new project that is completely different from the other. There are times when I want to work more closely with the client and then there are times when I want to work on a much larger project with a group of people. It is important as a design to have the skills to work individually as well as with a team which is why I feel that I have been able to work in the interior design field successfully. At times the project can become very challenging and stressful, but I always look forward to the end result and how much of a rewarding feeling it is see your creativity come to life. I have always had a passion for interior design ever since I was very young. Blending colors, making spaces beautiful, functional, and safe for the client is what I enjoy. I am so glad that I made that step towards earning my bachelor’s degree at the Art Institute of Las Vegas because now I know that all the hard work I put into school has finally paid off and I am doing what I love to do.
