This book, just like the first edition, compiles
the work of many hands (and keyboards) and
conversations. It has been made possible by the
generous contributions of numerous people, to
whom I would like to express my gratitude.
First, I must acknowledge my current and
former students, who have taught me volumes
and who continue give me the energy to keep
going. I must thank all of the former students
who contributed work to the first edition especially,
including Theresa Isaacson, Leanne Larson,
Ardella Pieper, Cory Sherman, and Justin
Thomson. Denise Haertl, Dan Effenheim, Anne
(Cleary) Olsen, and Angela Ska, now professional
designers, all willingly handed over
portfolios for inclusion in this edition. Current
students who contributed work and help include
Kristy Bokelman, Anne Harmer, and
Randi Steinbrecher. And I thank former exchange
students Elke Kalvelage, Jessica
Tebbe, and Dirk Olbrich for allowing me to include
some of their fine work.
I have been amazed and touched by the
generosity of members of the design community
who shared time and contributed projects:
my friend Lynn Barnhouse at Meyer, Scherer
& Rockcastle Architects, who contributed a
great deal of work and gave hours of her time;
Jane Rademacher, Lisa Miller, and Bob Albachten;
and Thom Lasley, of RSP Architects.
Others who took time out of very busy schedules
to contribute include Thomas Oliphant;
Jim Smart, of Smart Associates; Jim Moeller, at
Arthur Shuster Inc.; Craig Beddow, of Beddow
Design; Deborah Kucera, of TKDA; Janet Lawson,
of Janet Lawson Architectural Illustration;
and Robert Lownes, of Design Visualizations;
Harris Birkeland; and Aj Dumas.
I must acknowledge and thank my colleagues
at the University of Wisconsin–Stout.
Courtney Nystuen, a wonderful teacher and architect,
contributed in many ways. Bill Wikrent,
who is talented, knowledgeable, and very generous,
deserves special thanks. And this edition
would not have been finished in this decade
without the gift of a sabbatical: thank you to the
Sabbatical Committee. Jack Zellner and Kristine
Recker Simpson deserve thanks for willingly
contributing their fine work.
This project would not have been possible
without the help of my husband, Roger Parenteau,
support from our daughter, Anna, and
a fair amount of terror generated by young
Luc to keep things interesting.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

8. THE DESIGN PROGRAM
PROGRAMMING
Programming begins with
the first visit to your home,
where I gather information
and develop a plan for your
project.
Photographs and
measurements are taken. We
will talk a bit and create a
wish list and approximate
budget for your project.
Then, we will talk about your
availability and ideal project
time line.
This information is used to
create a design program,
which includes a time
estimate, and a summary of
the project goals

9. CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
IDEA GENERATION
We may have already shared a
Pinterest board, a Houzz
board, or images from
magazines/books. These
images combined with the
home’s architecture and your
personality will guide me in
developing ideas, concepts for
your space.
We’ll look at potential layouts
for your space and share ideas
to further develop these ideas.
This is the time to dream, and
pretend that limitations (like
that yucky budget thing) do
not exist!
waldron designs | www.waldrondesigns.com
10. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
MAKING IT A REALITY
Once we’ve established the
design style and are sure
that we are on the same
page, we begin looking at
actual products, finishes,
and fixtures.
We begin fitting the dream
into the needs of reality and
making the design suit you
and your needs.
Floor plans, elevations, and
3D drawings are provided to
confirm that we have
properly developed your
design.
waldron designs | www.waldrondesigns.com
11. CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
DETAILS, DETAILS
With everything confirmed, it
is time to make sure the
contractor understands the
vision. Construction
documents may not always
be the most legible without
a trained eye- but they
convey those little details
that we’ve discussed in the
design process.
Product specifications
further enhance this detail
by noting the materials,
finishes, and fixtures
selected and their
placement.

12. INSTALLATION
COMMUNICATION
Project observation is more
about communication than it
is “babysitting” the contractor.
They know how to build
things- I know how these
things should look completed.
Sometimes more than a
picture is needed. It is so
important to have consistency
from the beginning to the end
of the project and that is our
job- to be your consistency!
We communicate the details
that you have shared with us
and the reasons for design
decisions that help the
contractor understand why
certain details are absolute
musts where others may be
more flexible.
waldron designs | www.waldrondesigns.com
13. PROJECT COMPLETION
HONEY-DO LIST
It’s finished!! Almost. Many
projects reach a completion
state that is ready for
a“punch list”. This is the
point where we come in,
note any items remaining for
the contractor, and celebrate
the finished product!
You’re not rid of us yet
though- we’ll likely be back
for professional
photographs!
