REFLECTION: In this course, I learned about the business side of interior design. This is such an important element of being a successful interior designer, especially if I go on to own my own business. My classmates and I learned about the importance of managing the business aspect of design in order to be successful in the trade. We covered a variety of topics such as business formations, legal implications, charging clients, marketing, etc. What I enjoyed most about this course was putting my graphic design skills to the test and creating my personal brand with my logo, resume, and e-portfolio. Below are other sample projects I completed in this course.
LETTER OF AGREEMENT
BUSINESS FORMATION
For this assignment, I was tasked with drawing up a Letter of Agreement between myself as a sole proprietor, and my client.
I took the position of a designer preparing to start my own business. I researched the different formations and chose the one I felt was best for my proposed business.
BUSINESS PLAN
The objective of this assignment was to write a business plan for the type of firm I was interested in starting. I used the information from the business formation assignment as a starting point.
MARKETING MAILER
For this assignment, I was tasked with creating a one or two-sided mailer for both digital and regular mailing. This mailer is an exercise showing how to promote my proposed business and introduce my firm to the market.
