    Yeah, I would be happy to try the leggings and hoodie AFTER this is solved. I love this skirt! I’m not into solving recipes, but I think I can make an exception for this!

    Okay, Lesson 2! Don’t be afraid to use more than one theme! This is the biggest problem I see in forums. There are only a few decorations that aren’t from a single room theme. Try to mix and match themes as much as you want to avoid a boring room.

    Okay, you’re accepted! I’m putting you in Class B, but if you actually do the exercises, you’ll probably get better than the people in the current A class. Read through the first lesson, but start right in with the second lesson’s exercises. (I’m posting those right after this).

    in reply to: Polished Portfolio School of Design! #755451

    Here’re answers for the Class A exercise, arranged with answers ranging from a level 3 to a level 4+. Level 3 throne room: Blue and white tiled flooring, royal blue wall paint, daedalus head dining chair, 2 modern windows, 2 corinthian trophy pedestals, sunburst wall clock. A Level 4 throne room: sea green tiled flooring, light sea green wall paint, 2 modern windows, stasis seat, 2 corinthian trophy pedestals. For a level 4+ room: light steel blue wall paint, sea green tiled flooring, 2 stained glass windows, stasis seat. Stay tuned for the next lesson!

    I suppose I should’ve made it clearer with the original post, but I AM NOT currently offering courses in clothing design. That does sound like a cute outfit, though! If you want to join for room design, I would happily accept you as soon as you apply. Thank you!

    It’s been a week, so I’m going to show the answers to the exercises, in order from a 3 to a 4+. This post is all the answers for the fruit room. Fruit room, at 3 level: Fruitland wallpaper, forest green flooring, apple bed, bloomin’ couch, bloomin’ comfy chair, bamboo plant. The problem with this room it that it’s not very fruit themed. For a level 4 fruit room: fruitland wallpaper, forest green flooring, apple bed, lime slice side table, gleaming green table, strawberry chair, bamboo plant, funky girl toy box. For a level 4+ room: fruitland wallpaper, forest green flooring, apple bed, lime slice side table, gleaming green table, strawberry chair, 2 modern windows. Soon, I will be posting the answers for the throne room.

    You’ve been accepted, vick100! I’m going to ask that for a little while you do both class A and class B exercises, until I can figure out which class would be best. And don’t worry about grades– until you’re placed in a class, I’m only grading class B exercises for you. Go ahead and do lesson one, with exercises in Class A and Class B. Thanks!

    Okay, you’ve been accepted! I’m putting you in Class A. The lessons are going to be very regular, as soon as I get more students! It sounds like you’ve done a lot with outfits, and I’d like you to know that this is a ROOM design forum. But I look forward to seeing your designs! Go ahead and read Lesson 1, if you haven’t already, and get started on the Class A exercise (a throne room).

    Okay, here’re the exercises for lesson one! Class B exercise: a fruit themed bedroom for 2000 kinzcash or less. Do not use only fruitland theme! Class A exercise: A throne room, centered around the color blue. The customer already has two columns from the ancient civilization theme. Pick something to be a throne. Keep the cost under 1500. Remember, if you want to do this exercise, you need to be enrolled first. I will be checking back several times every day. Please no more entries after a week from now.

    Okay, Lesson number 1! Don’t use a lot of items! This is my number one trick. I try not to put more than nine items (one cart full) in each design. More than that, and it’s hard to coordinate everything perfectly. Also, unless you have a large room, it gets “busy” looking. If you have nine items or less, you also don’t need to provide a layout, if you don’t want to. Let me note, though, that you’ll always have things to say like “put mirror over table for a vanity.” If you have lots of ideas for decorations, list them separately. Don’t clutter up a gorgeous room!

    Okay, before my lesson and exercise, I’m going to give grading criteria. Yes, your designs will be graded! I am giving grades on a scale of 0 to 4+. A 4+ is the highest score you can get. It means you achieved all the requirements of the exercise and made an excellent design with no corrections. A 4 means that you completed all of the requirements, with only a few corrections. A 3 means you met all the requirements, and had more than three corrections. A 2 means that you did not meet all of the requirements and I had several corrections. A 1 means that I didn’t like the design and you missed a lot of requirements. A 0 means that you did not meet any requirements and I disliked the design. Pretty much, the only way to get a 0 is if you do a different room than I asked and did a bad job with it. I will be counting up all of the students’ scores and keeping them! If you miss a lesson, you will get a grade of “/” meaning that you were not present. They count as a 2. After two missed lessons I will count every missed lesson as a zero. So, if you want to leave the school, tell me first!

    I will probably get most new students during summer, so don’t worry about it. Just a little note for everybody thinking about enrolling, I will not be here for the first few weeks of June, and, closer to the time, I will not accept any new students. I will be looking for a substitute teacher for the time being, but PLEASE no applications before May 15th.

    Okay, you’re my first student! I’m going to divide the exercises right now, with class “A” and “B.” Class “A” is for professionals only, and class “B” is for amateurs only. If class “B” students go to the school for a while and really improve their skills, I will put them in class A. By “professionally” I mean designing rooms for a forum. By “manage” I mean having started their own forum or taken over a forum without contest. I only count forums that have at least a page of orders and answers. I’ll add you right away, by the way! Stay tuned for my first lesson!

    I’m sorry, abislu1, but I am not currently hiring and I am not offering courses in clothing design either. If I decide to start a branch dedicated to clothing, you will be a top choice for instructor. You are welcome to enroll as a room designer, though!

    ShiningStar13, if you want, I have a design school forum that you might like. It’s the Polished Portfolio School of Design. Just thought you might like it!
