Letterform Abstraction I

Although I enjoyed this project, I don't feel I spent adequate time on it and I think it shows.  If I did this project again, I would spend more time designing the letterforms and making them detailed.  My favorite out of the four was the upper left abstraction.  I think the lines, although not perfect, were relatively crisp and smooth.  I believe my least successful portion of this project was the top left abstraction.  The lines were shaky and I don't think the final product was as dynamic as it could have been.  I thought the other two abstractions were decent, but nothing special.  Overall, I think I did a decent job on this project, although I know I could have done better.

Interior Design

     The art-related career that I am interested in is interior design.  I chose to research this career because it is something that I am considering pursuing in the future.  The average yearly salary for an interior designer is $51,990. I would need 2-4 years of schooling at a design school or university and then would go into a formal design apprenticeship program.  As an interior designer, I would work with customers in designing and constructing good layouts and color schemes/decor for rooms according to their own style and taste.  Customers may include families or business owners. 
     Since interior design is a luxury, an interior design firm may not be as successful during recessions.  Also, it may be more difficult to find business in a rural area compared to an urban area.  Overall, however, I believe the benefits outweigh the disadvantages and I still plan on considering interior design when deciding on a career.
