Vintage Movie Photo

Question about interior design?

I'm a teenage guy, 15 years old, and I have bare walls, I'm looking to put some art/photography/posters on my wall, I want it to be sophisticated/classy but not too uppity and high class making me look like a snob.. I have dark wood furniture, night stand, bed, and dresser.. What could I put on my walls to go with that and not cost too much? I was thinking vintage movie posters or black and white photos, all of it framed... What do you think?

I like the black and white photos idea. If you have some pictures of your own, you can just go to Staples and get them copied into black and white. A lot of stores are starting to have their holiday sales now so you could probably get some good deals on black frames.

I think the framed black and white prints will work better than the posters since they will be framed and can be done so inexpensively. If you really want some posters in the mix, check out art.com for the posters, but look elsewhere for the frames ( a place like sendaframe.com).

1. PRESENTATION - DRESS RIGHT. Know your Image and Type.

First impressions do count so Go for the Gold...not the time for sloppy jeans or east village thrift shop clothes (unless THAT is your type). Dress with confidence like a movie star so that's how they remember you. For guys: LOOK like you're already starring on CSI and you probably will! Ladies: vibrant colors, sexy boots, go upscale like "Gossip Girl" or "Ugly Betty" not walking the dog or day off to the gym clothes.

2. PASSION - TALK ABOUT WHERE YOU CAREER IS GOING - Not where it's been.

Agents can read your credits and training on your resume, your skills, hobbies and teachers. But they need to know how to market you and how to make that paltry 10% for all the work they have to do- so you can meet the industry and BOOK a job! Even if you aren't currently working in a film or TV series, talk about the future, project your goals and "dream roles" with passion. If they can feel as excited about your career as you are-they'll work WITH you and FOR you!

3. PERSONALITY - BOND OVER ANY SUBJECT. Make A "Connection". Be yourself!

If the conversation is going dry and you've run out of things to say about your "ideal roles" LOOK AROUND THE ROOM. Is there anything that attracts your interest? Do you have anything in common with this person? The artwork on the wall? Their taste in interior design ? See a photo on their desk of their family on a skiing trip or an exotic location where they traveled. Ask about their life and talk about something you both are interested in. If people like you, know you and trust you they'll be motivated to help ...and push your career to the top!

Successful interviewing!
