Case Studies - coming soon!

Coming soon for all to read:  The Case Study research reports from the Materials & Products class.  In this assignment, the students are selecting a recent design project and thoroughly studying the materials, finishes and products used in the project.  They are working from a variety of resources including visiting the actual project site, magazine or online articles, A&D websites and or referrals from Designers or their instructors.  The write up will include:

A written report on the project and at least 10 materials/products that were utilized in the project, (700 word min – 1000 word max). 

Students may work individually or with a partner for this project.

Comment on the product/material choices.  Based on your knowledge gained of interior materials, were the choices successful? 

Obtain photos or digital images of the products featured in the project, along with images of the project and prepare the written report.  Label images/products accordingly.  (5 images maximum and you can link to others.)

It is very important that you cite your resources for all information gathered.  You may use your own photography of the project, but you may not use photos found on the internet without permission from the copyright holder.  Some articles allow you to link to their sites.  Images of products from the manufacturer’s websites are allowed if resources are properly cited.

For my bloggers:

Please turn in a type written report (submitted via email) in doc or docx format.  Images must be included as separate submittals and not inserted into the body of the report.  Please re-name the images so that they match the text in your report.  An example of your attachments:

Example of how to show where photos go.
This is the very first paragraph of my project.  I’d like to show a photo at the end of this paragraph.  Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

In the second paragraph, I’d like to introduce a product used on the project.  I have a photo as reference and I also want to direct you to the manufacturer’s website.  (Product name) Link/url:

And in conclusion, the end!
