Stumbling upon a piece about the Notre Dame restoration process really got me thinking about the profound impact historical accuracy and traditional craftsmanship can have on a design. In our industry, we often zoom past these details, focusing on quick fixes and modern methods. But what if taking an old-school approach could bring your design to another level of excellence? Imagine the painstaking precision going into restoring Notre Dame – applying age-old methods to match the original masterpiece. The authenticity, the dedication, the art! The translation of this into house painting and design could be just as transformative, whether using traditional materials fitting a home's era or even fire-molded metal features for an original touch. It's important to remember that design isn't just about being modern. True brilliance can be found in preserving the past while still pushing boundaries. Let's champion the longevity of our work, much like the restoration team at Notre Dame. Still unsure how to infuse historical accuracy into your design work? Have lingering questions? Feel free to reach out. Because design is not just what it looks like and feels like, it's how it works, survives and tells a story. #HistoricalAccuracy #HomeImprovement #DesignerStrategy #Craftsmanship

👇 5th IDEA THAT CHANGED GRAPHIC DESIGN ⚪WHITE SPACE⚪ When Noting is Something! "In art as in life, white space is the ultimate luxury. The most recent architectural addition to the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan is a superb example of the way acres of empty white walls can be used to make a superlative statement. On the page, white space works the same way. It signifies that you have plenty of room to spare. It frames images with an aura of inaccessibility. The less crowded a magazine layout, the more elitist its attitude."

wilshire drive ... in the suburbs of fort worth, texas. my original january photograph with a painterly effect. Architecture is the art and technique of designing and building, as distinguished from the skills associated with construction. It is both the process and the product of sketching, conceiving, planning, designing, and constructing buildings or other structures. The term comes from Latin architectura; from Ancient Greek ἀρχιτέκτων (arkhitéktōn) 'architect'; from ἀρχι- (arkhi-) 'chief', and τέκτων (téktōn) 'creator'. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. source wikipedia. prints available. see more at www.footeprintart.com #architecturedrawing #illustrationart #architecturepictures #housedesign #illustration #archisketch #painting #architecturalstudio #designarchitecture #architecturedesign #art #digitalpainting #architecturaldesign #modernarchitecturedesign #fineart #architecturaldesigns #architectureprojects

What is colour theory? Colour theory has a long and illustrious history that dates all the way back to Aristotle. Ancient philosophers debated the blending of colours and how they may be utilised to create new ones back then. Later on, scientists looked into the impact of light on the colours, the colour we perceive, and why. Around the 18th century, we began to create classifications that we still use today, such as primary and secondary colours, indicating a more modern approach to studying colour. From there, the scientific and artistic traditions of colour theory diverged. Artists concentrated on how colour could be made, blended, represented on a wheel and used, while scientists focused their theory on our perception in relationship to colour and light. Colour theory is now defined as “useful assistance for visual artists and designers to help them come up with colour schemes and identify colours as we see them” in the artistic world. The colour wheel is the most famous tool used by painters to understand the interactions of different colours. #colors #interior #interdesign #construction #constructionmanagement
