My Book Has Launched!!

Yeeeeeyyy!!!
I cant explain how proud Iam when my editor said that my book has launched :D :D :D
Im so super duper happy and very berry exited about it!! :D :D :D

Well, I hope you dont mind if I share so called "behind the scene" of my book :)
My book is about interior design (although Iam an architecture graduate :p). It contains 40 interior designs of living room, bedroom, kitchen/dining room, and bathroom. The theme of the design is multifunctional room and furniture. The theme refers to urban living design which has a problem with "how to design a small room with a big need".

In order to fullfil eficient and effective design, I design the interior with modern and simple look. Why must modern look? Because if I designed it with a classic or chinoiserie style, it wouldnt fit the theme. A classic or chinoiserie style has a bunch of detail, like carving, heavy pattern, and sculpture. If your rooms are small, you cant put those styles into it. It just makes your rooms look smaller and crowded. So, modern and simple design is the best answer to be applied on the theme. About the color, I use pastel colors, like brown, pink, grey, and beige. But I dont use it for the whole design to avoid the boringness. Instead, I put some pop colors, like red, blue, yellow, and green to brightening the design. I love pop color :D

I read about ten interior and architecture books to get some inspirations when I got stuck. You know, its not easy to create 40 designs for original, unless you copycatting them :p
Some of my favorite books (they helped me so much when I got blank) are Convertible House by Amanda Lam & Amy Thomas, Store It by Mervyn Kaufman, and Small Space by Rebecca Tanqueray.

Actually, I didnt work alone to complete this book. My friend, Andri Munov, a designer freelance, helped me to render all of my sketchup design with 3D Max. His work is amazing as you can see on his page. Without him, my designs wouldnt be this beautiful :D Thanks, bro!

So.... ladies and gentlemans, here I present you my book :D

The cover design is dope, isnt it? Mas Dimas Yossa Dinton as a graphic designer made it perfectly :)
I guess he picked the purple color due to the decoration of my wedding party that he attended
was combination of purple and pink color :D

Easy to spotted at the floor! Yaay!! :D

Even they put them on the top shelf! Great! :D
