How to become an Interior Designer

Interior design could involve work on various projects to transform your working or living space and make it comfortable for use. Working with clients and architects, an interior designer combines technical knowledge with artistry to execute his or her own project. From concept to completion, an interior designer has to be involved in all levels of the project. There is unprecedented opportunity growth in industry. Only one has to look at the new constructions- mixed-use residential developments, malls, hotels, etc. – coming across the country. Nowadays, real estate developers hire specialized interior designer to add value to their property through well designed and theme based interiors, which are engineered towards to their client’s lifestyle.

Clockwork:

While some days are spent in the office to prepare presentation and design, and other days may be spent on the construction sites answering contractor’s and client’s queries.

9:00 AM- Check the mail and prepare the design to get approved.

11:00 AM- Visit the site/Factory.

2:00 PM- Meet the clients and contractors.

5:00 PM- prepare design presentation

Payoff:

Depending on employers and ones experience, the average starting pay of an interior designer is between Rs.30,000 to Rs.40,000 per month and senior designer can earn up to Rs.50 lakhs a year.

Skills/Traits:

Knowledge of certain software like AutoCAD, 3D MAX, or Sketchup tool is also good.
Ability to handle both aesthetic and technical type of designing spaces.
Strong knowledge of materials.

Getting there:

Over the years this field has become more specialized and employers give more importance to academic and professional background. Studying engineering or architecture before specializing in the interior designing can be helpful. Many design schools offer interior designing courses and some offer masters in fine arts with a specialization in interior designing.

Institutes in India:

Institute of Indian Interior designers, New Delhi- www.iiiddelhi.org
National Institute of Fashion Technology, New Delhi- www.nift.ac.in
International Institute of fashion technology, New Delhi- www.iiftindia.net

Pros and Cons:-

Highly rewarding
Delay in construction have an impact on projects.

Buzzer interface with 8051 microcontroller

Buzzer is a electronic device that converts the electronic signal into buzzing noise, that is applied to it. It can be used as electronic bell or as quiz buzzer in many applications around us. Here, i world like to discuss the interfacing of a small buzzer with 8051 microcontroller and how different projects can be constructed. Buzzer Interfacing: This project shows the interface with AT89S52 microcontroller to a buzzer. When a push button is pressed, the buzzer will get ON and OFF ( number of times set in the code ) and then stops. Circuit Diagram: - The port P1 of the microcontroller is connected to buzzer. This type of connection is possible, if the current requirements of the buzzer is not more than 20mA. The output is in current source mode so that buzzer will turn ON when the output of the port is logic LOW. Switch is connected to port P3 which remains at logic HIGH by pull up resistor. Code: #include "REG52.h" #define buz P1 sbit SW=P3^0; long i...

Comparison Chart Between 8051, 8052, 8031and 8751

8051 is a popular 8-bit microcontroller and has been used in many applications since Intel introduced it. Many 8051 architecture are produced by Triscend, Intel, Atmel, Philips, Infineon (Siemens), ISSI, and Max Corp. Today, 8051 microcontrollers may not be popular but, the 8051 architecture is still popular and employed in thousands of embedded applications. This 8-bit architecture has been different segments such as 8052, 8051, 8751 and 8031 . 8052 is the super-set of 8051 and 8031 is the memory-less microcontroller hence, it has interfaced with external ROM. Whereas, 8751 chip has only 4Kbytes of on chip UV-EPROM. Everyone knows about the general 40-pin microcontroller i.e. 8051 introduced by Intel in 1980s and consists of serial communication pins, Timer, Interrupts, RAM, ROM. It has 4 ports and each port has 8 pins, total 32 pins and other 8 pins for other purposes. 8052 is the super-set of 8051 that consists of 8K bytes of internal RAM (4K in 8051), 256 by...

Different ways to generate delays in 8051

The delay length in 8051 microcontroller depends on three factors: The crystal frequency the number of clock per machine the C compiler. The original 8051 used 1/12 of the crystal oscillator frequency as one machine cycle. In other words, each machine cycle is equal to 12 clocks period of the crystal frequency connected to X1-X2 pins of 8051. To speed up the 8051, many recent versions of the 8051 have reduced the number of clocks per machine cycle from 12 to four, or even one. The frequency for the timer is always 1/12th the frequency of the crystal attached to the 8051, regardless of the 8051 version. In other words, AT89C51, DS5000, and DS89C4x0 the duration of the time to execute an instruction varies, but they all use 1/12th of the crystal's oscillator frequency for the clock source. 8051 has two different ways to generate time delay using C programming, regardless of 8051 version. The first method is simply using Loop program function in which Delay() funct...
