Capstone-Blog Post #2
The purpose of the interview is to gather more information about your topic through an interview. I feel that the interview is helpful because it gave me lots of notes that I really needed.
The process of figuring out who to interview was easy and challenging. I knew I had to interview an interior designer or somebody who knew a lot about interior design. I just didn’t know who to interview. But I ended up finding someone who knew about my topic really well. The process of thinking of the interview questions was interesting. In the beginning, it was easy but when I had to do my last couple of questions it was really hard. It was like this because it was really easy to think of a few questions but hard to think of ten.
The experience of conducting the interview was good. It took around 30 minutes and I got a lot of notes. It went better than expected. I expected it to take an hour and I did not expect to get as many notes off of the interview as I have. These are the questions that I asked:
- How have the design trends changed over time?
- What features of bedrooms changed the most? Why?
- Are there features that have not changed?
- How do bedroom styles, affect the rest of the house?
- How has interior design improved to be more eco-friendly?
- What has interior design looked like in the past decade?
- What did bedrooms look like 50 years ago?
- What were some changes that were recently made?
- What do bedrooms look like at this moment?
- How has the lighting changed?
One of my new learnings that is that there are eco-friendly materials such as quark which is used in flooring and furniture. Another eco-friendly material is bamboo which is also used in flooring. Another thing I learned was that some changes that were recently made are more interest in eco-friendly options, lots of technology but it was hidden, and minimalism.
Overall the interview was exciting and a fun experience. It taught me patience and corporation. I am enjoying this project and I hope that the interview will help me in the future.
