2. Meline Manukyan is a full-time student at Cal-State
Northridge and a full-time relationship banker at
Chase. When she is not at school or work, she tries
to divide her time between her friends and boyfriend.
At the end of her hectic schedule, Meline enjoys
going home and spending whatever is left of her day
in her bedroom.
3. Please Come
In.
I decided to incorporate this picture
into the slideshow to give us a
perspective of what Meline
witnesses every time she walks into
her room. The entryway is the first
glimpse we get into her private
space. We only get to see what she
chooses to show. Moving forward,
we will be digging deeper into her
room.
4. The Bed
Here, we have the most
important part of the bedroom.
The bed is placed in the center
of the room, kind of like having a
spotlight on it. This particular bed
for my subject was a gift from
her boyfriend so it is quite
special. You can also see the
teddy bear that he made for her
from Build-A-Bear for Valentines
Day.
5. A Sneak
Peek
I was told that I could only take
pictures of part of the closet
because “the inside is too
messy,” but that was enough for
me to conclude that she does not
have enough time to clean and
organize her room, so she does
what anyone in her situation
would do. She hides it in her
closet.
6. You can
never have
enough
mirrors,
right?
With two full length mirrors already
in the room, there is another
decorative mirror hanging on the
wall. Beneath the mirror is a place
for, well everything. Jewelry, lotion,
water and even some shopping
bags. I spy one shoe missing its
pair. It probably got lost during the
hustle and bustle of her morning
routine. I do, however, see some
comfort shoes so that’s a plus.
7. The Color Yellow Makes You
Happy
I’m sure anyone that likes to design and enjoys decorating has heard that
the color yellow is supposed to make you happy. In Meline’s case, it
does. She went for a neutral room color with splashes of yellow so she
can always have some type of light in the room. I don’t know about you,
but I do kind of feel happier.
8. To See Or Not To
See
Curtains are meant to make the
room feel a bit more cozy and
private. Mel agrees and adds that
having curtains makes you feel like
you’re in your own world, blocked
off from everything. Once you
open them, you’re letting the world
in. Good thing she has all that
yellow in her room to keep it so
bright.
9. Shoes are a Girl’s Best Friend
Compared to the mess in the room, these shoes seem to be in good
standing. They look new and I’m going to guess that she really likes
them. They are perched on top of the box they were purchased in and
not thrown aside. They are a really nice pair of shoes so I’m hoping she
continues to take great care of them.
10. Pearls &
Perfume
This is a close up photo from our
previous picture with the decorative
mirror. I just thought that since we
are trying to understand our subject,
taking into consideration what she
has the most abundance of would
help. It is quite obvious that she has
an obsession with smelling good and
perfume, but come on who doesn't’t?
I had the chance to smell them all
and I’m in heaven.
