The Elements and Principles of Interior Design Review
Due:______________
A GREAT INTERIOR DESIGN PORTFOLIO PAGE
Step One: Choose your pictures that demonstrate the learned concept. Step Two: Prepare to write your description paragraph/definition. Look at your picture and take notes on what is most important according to the new principle you have been taught in class. Example of notes: What concept is found in the room? Decorative Design What are the items I’m supposed to find? Decorative design found on fireplace, mirrors aside fireplace, and in painting on ceiling.
What do they do to the room? Create a more formal look because of all of the decoration. Step Three: Write a paragraph/definition using correct grammar and artful words.
Use the questions or important points to mention in your paragraph. Examples: Mention decorative design, where it is in the room, and what it does to the room. Here is an example of a paragraph that can be written on the sample pictures using the notes above:
“This room shows decorative design. Decorative design is seen in the decoration on the
fireplace mantel, the ornate mirrors on each side of the fireplace, and in the mural painted on the ceiling of the room. These decorations give the room a formal feel.” Do’s and Don’ts:
Don’t use “I”, “You”, “She”, or “I think” in your portfolio statements. IT WEAKENS YOUR STATEMENTS. When refereeing to the person in a picture, say “the model”.
When talking about the design BE SPECIFIC. The viewer doesn’t know what you’re talking about unless you directly tell them.
Paragraphs need to be written in present tense. Step Four: Prepare the portfolio page
Paper o White = 8 ½” X 11” o Pictures, titles and paragraphs have ¼” black border
Cut your picture down to have straight lines. Glue it onto the black paper. Cut around the edge leaving ¼” around each side. FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES ON THE PAPER CUTTER. Make sure it is always against the edge of the cutter. Paste the bordered picture on your Portfolio page making sure everything is straight. Leave room for a title and paragraph. Now you can estimate how you want to write them.
Type the paragraphs/definitions for the pages. Type in Arial font, approximately 10-12 pt. size, depending on the picture you have. Titles should be approximately 40 pt. size, depending on the size of the picture and also on the type of font that you use. You can use your choice of font on the title as long as it is readable. Border the paragraph and the title with ¼” of black paper just like the picture. Paste them on the paper nicely.
Step Five: Identify who created the page
On the back of the portfolio page. Use ARCITECTURAL writing. Use guidelines in light pencil, then erase after lettering in black pen is complete. Be discrete about placing your lettering so this information does not show through to the front side.
Decorative Design
This room shows decorative design. Decorative design is
seen in the decoration on the fireplace mantel, the ornate
mirrors on each side of the fireplace, and in the mural
painted on the ceiling of the room. These decorations give

Stylized
Architectural Letter Guidelines
A plan without any lettering does not communicate a complete description of the size and function of
the various design components. Legible, well-formed letters and numerals do more for a drawing than
merely aid in communication. Effective lettering helps give the drawing a finished and professional
look. Poor lettering is a mark of an amateur.
Practice is necessary to develop the skills to letter effectively. Follow the rules for successful
presentation.
Lettering Rules:
1. All projects must have a title. Check spelling.
2. Always use guidelines in lettering. Use a sharp light pencil line and erase later.
3. Block lettering is the foundation of a variety of alphabets, absolutely serviceable, trustworthy
and acceptable in any layout or drawing.
4. Make letters bold and distinctive. Avoid cute!
5. Make each line quickly from the beginning to the end of the stroke.
6. Practice with larger letters about ¼ “ and gradually reduce the size until you can letter effectively
smaller.
7. Architectural lettering is all CAPITALIZED.
8. Size of lettering should be related to the importance of the labeling.
9. Practice spacing. Think of all letters as being the same size and approximately square,
although M and W are a little wider.
10. Label all assignments completely.
11. Always label left to right.
12. Keep borders simple, this makes the project look professional. Avoid curls and flowers.
13. Rounded letters will slightly top guidelines.
14. Rounded letters can be slightly closer together than straight letters.
15. There are no crosses on letters J or I.
16. Follow the strokes and practice!

Elements and Principles of Design Review Project
Directions: Create a room that represents the perfect examples of the Elements and Principles of design. You
must plan before you start drawing!!! In the boxes below describe and sketch how you will represent each
element and principle of design. You will then sketch a room on cardstock using a pencil and a ruler (don’t forget
to add color at the end). You need to mount your drawing on black paper and create a title: “The Elements and
Principles of Design” (in professional lettering). On the back, using descriptive language, describe the feeling and
atmosphere created using the elements and principles of design as justification.
Answer the following questions before you begin:
What room are you creating?
Who will use the room?

2. Then on a separate piece of cardstock, continue mixing paints to create another creative picture showing a color scheme of your choice.
3. Mount both of these pictures on black paper and label.
