EVALUATION FOR 2ND ARTEFACT

My previous artefact proves that a customer can visualise an environment a lot easier by looking at a 3D walkthrough. However what method would a professional interior designer favour when it comes to visualising to a customer. I contacted Large Creative Limited in Nottingham and spoken to Mitchell Brewer who is a professional interior designer with 8 years of experience. By sending him a questionnaire I have gathered the information that I needed.
He says that throughout his career he has used all types of methods of visualising because it depends on the client type and personality, type of project, project stage, project value and timescale. Each method has its own advantages due to certain types of projects. He then says that CGI provides a very accurate visual of the proposed design meaning client understands and see what they are buying into quickly. But this could be a drawback to a customer as they will interpret CGI as a finish design and they feel that they have no power to influence the design meaning they would steer more towards sketch ideas where they have more input on.
However the client could still ask for changes towards the final CGI design but it would mean more time and money for the interior designer.
To conclude, 3D software has not made other methods of visualising redundant but has aided presentation techniques. In terms of visual communication, different forms of communication help get ideas across to clients depending on the client and the type of project. But when it comes to delivering an accurate visual design a professional interior designer would use CGI.
