A Graphic Designer's Humble Abode
Dos
- As you write, imagine yourself introducing your space to your friends and relatives, as you bring them around and highlight different interesting aspects of your home.
- Are you a party animal or a homebody? Go beyond describing your home - we would love to know more about how you spend time in the different areas!

How should I frame my photos?
Wide Angle Shot
Take photos that can fully capture the structure/furniture arrangement of the space that you are introducing. Wide angle shots can help to showcase the entirety of your house/area/room!
Shots that focus too much on a specific area makes the place look stuffy and narrow.
Wide angle shots can perfectly showcase different parts of your room in one glance.
Photos from Different Angles
Feel free to be experimental - your photos will look different from various angles! You can also crop your photos to highlight specific accents of your home/room/area.
Try not to take photos from a higher angle - it does not show off your area nicely.
Close up shots can amplify certain features of your area - they are great to showcase smaller items.
Clear and Natural Photos without a Filter Effect
We prefer natural and bright photos that are relatively unfiltered. Try taking the photos in natural sunlight!
A filtered photo might take away some of the radiance of your photo, and make it pixelated.
Natural lighting helps to illuminate all parts of your area in a balanced and bright manner!
What should I include in my post?
-
Introduction
Start off your article with a short introduction of yourself - include your name, age and occupation so that everyone can get to know you better!
Give us a floor plan of your room so we can better understand the layout of your room.
-
Body
Tell us more about the different corners/parts of your room! We want to know the unique details that make your room special.
- Eg: Which part of your room do you spend most of your time in and why?
- Eg: Is there a specific part of your room where you took more effort to decorate, and if so, why and what does it contain?
- Eg: Is there any part of your room that has a sentimental value? If yes, which part and why?
-
Conclusion
Be it words of encouragement or a general round up of how much you love your room, we want to know it all!
