Design theory 

1&2
Design theory involves the fundamentals and principles of creating visual communication and
all types of art. It deals with how we see and perceive visual information, and separates ideas of
style, taste and trend from the universal principles of aesthetics that are common to every
person. It is foundational to the pursuit of design, photography, illustration and visual arts in
general. This common visual language connects designers and image makers from history to
current day and continent to continent.
Design theory involves an understanding of the tangible elements including form, space,
proportion, color, scale, texture, structure (grid), composition, line, shape and volume and how
to arrange them to achieve balance, rhythm, pattern, hierarchy, emphasis, and unity. Design
theory, blended with a purpose or problem to solve, results in effective design solutions.

Designing Interiors 1&2

Interior design describes a group of various yet related projects that involve turning an interior
space into an "effective setting for the range of human activities" that are to take place there.
Interior design is not just about the looks of the building’s interior. It also plays the key role in
its functionality because even the largest house can lack space if having a poor interior design,
while a tiny apartment can be transformed into a cozy residence with enough space for just
about everything with the right design and the
use of a contemporary staircase. Interior design is much more important than it may seem at a
first glance and can be easily compared with the importance of architecture, at least when it
comes to interior.
Interior design is the process of shaping the experience of interior space, through the
manipulation of spatial volume as well as surface treatment. Not to be confused with interior
decoration, interior design draws on aspects of environmental psychology, architecture, and
product design in addition to traditional decoration.

considered a professional in the field of interior design or one who designs interiors as part of
their job. Interior design is a creative practice that analyzes programmatic information,
establishes a conceptual direction, refines the design direction, and produces graphic
communication and construction documents.
Lighting in Interior Design
Natural or artificial, lighting is one of the most important elements in architecture, directly
affecting our perception of spaces. It is capable of defining volumes, enhancing colors, textures,
and therefore, contributing to the overall relationship between dimensions, proportion, and
contrasts. One of the many challenges of architecture is to shape spaces based on light and
shade, and sometimes natural light is not enough, requiring additional light sources to be
installed and controlled. Since its early days, architecture has been challenged to create
elements to absorb, reflect, diffuse, and transmit light, as to unveil the features of a space and
convey a certain ambiance. Mastering natural lighting design has been one of the greatest
achievements in the history of architecture, from the Gothic style to the contemporary designs.
Many projects also require effective artificial lighting to maximize the aesthetic and functional
quality of spaces.
