Today we will be learning about how to use our previous lesson (Drawing To Scale) to help us plan to use the space in a closet more efficiently. Using our knowledge of measurement, math, and utilizing basic tools, we will measure and create a Closet Design System that might be sold at a local home improvement store. We will measure a closet here at school, and work on the design together. We will define some of the new terms that we should be using throughout the project, and we will sketch a scale representation of our design. We will use readily available product specifications from brochures and online sources to design and price our closet organization systems. Once we understand the basic idea and methods of this process, you will then be required to independently measure, design and present a project from your own home. You will be given time in class to complete this project. The lessons learned from this project will help you with our future Room Design Project. Please use the following website as a reference:

If you are interested in learning more about interior design, and the software application we will be using for a future project (Room Design), please go to the Google Apps Web Store and look for FloorPlanner. I have already set up accounts for each of you to start designing your spaces. We will be creating new classroom layouts for some of the teachers in our building. Have Fun!
