Greg's House

Posted by Gregory Alston in TECH (INTRO TO DESIGN MULTIMEDIA) - Hertz - C1 on

These past few weeks I have been building a house on the site http://www.homestyler.com. This allowed me to make a virtual house with actual "name-brand" furniture too. Overall, this was an awesome site and gave me ideas and introduced me into a word of virtual architecture. I would love to do this again and this was one of my favorite projects.  

  1. Describe your project
    My project is a virtual house made on the site http://www.homestyler.com/designer .

  2. What knowledge did you already have about the project before you started?

The only thing I knew was I wanted to be an architect, so I researched blueprints and based my home off of that.

  1. What new skill did you want to learn coming into the project?

The new skill I wanted to learn was how to use the website and also learn how I would want to build my own soon.



  1. Did you accomplish the goal of learning this new skill?
    I did accomplish both of my skills. I learned how to use the site perfectly and this is a perfect way to make my house. I also learned how to use different furniture both inside and outside of my virtual house.


  2. How do you know you accomplished the goal? If you didn’t accomplish your goal, why do you think that is?

I know I accomplished my job of learning about the website because people using the same site ask me where things are and how to move an item and I always help them. I’m not confused and I love to help them because this site was simple to use.


  1. What other skill(s) did you learn along the way?

Another skill I learned was using an embed code. I’ve used it before with other things, however when you use this code you can see my home in both 2D and 3D which is very cool and it’s a great skill I picked up.



  1. What are you most proud of in this project?

The thing I am most proud of is not procrastinating this project. Usually, I wait until last minute to get a project done, but this time I used my time wisely and effectively. Since I did this, I get to have a little break thursday because I have everything done before the due date.



  1. What would you do differently if you had to do the project over again?

One thing I would do differently is make a second floor to my home for exceeding expectation.
