Bailey Westcott, a recent high school graduate and customer of Dorm Suite Dorm, reminded me tonight of the importance of visual aids. It is important, especially in design, to create a mock-up or an example of your thoughts, ideas, and desires before ordering or explaining what you want to someone else. It is really hard to portray all design ideas in words; so, a picture could be very useful. After all, a picture speaks a thousand words, right?
Bailey decided to use Microsoft Power Point to create a picture of her bedding ideas. She sent these to Sheri, designer and owner of Dorm Suite Dorm, so that her order would turn out exactly how she wanted. (Her picture is to the right).
This is a great strategy to use, not only in dorm room bedding. I find pictures help with new hair cuts, drapery, custom-made clothing, or as an aid in explaining your ideas.
