    Hi guys! This is my WIP Designer build. It is NOT based on the stuff from vids and the .zip world and all. But I think it's really creative (get it? got it? good.), and as I said it is VERY WIP so post what you think and what I could change before I go for the rank. Plz and thanks guys! :) Roc

    Here's some screenies:

    Okay, here are a few tips I can give you from just the pictures:
    1. Have more than 1 room. A gigantic room like you have isn't a very good idea, it would require things to put in it. I suggest to make the mansion smaller and give it more of a landscape outside of it making it a less square of an area. (Bigger isn't always better :)) If you don't like that suggestion you could break it up into many separate rooms but remember to make them well detailed, detail is key in getting ranks like designer or architect.

    2. Use different resources instead of a bunch of stone brick. I recommend mixing in some nether brick patterns as Herobrine is a dark legend. Adding regular stone slabs will also work well.

    3. Don't have a flat roof. In real life are roofs always flat? No, they always have things like vents, fans, ect. Also if you look at other mansions they have slanted roofs. ;)

    4. Don't have narrow 1x2 hallways. I know earlier I said large open spaces are bad but you don't want to make them so small to the point where you feel claustrophobic.

    If you need anymore suggestions feel free to ask me here. :p

    Okay thanks, I was planning to do your 1st suggestion anyway, but the other 3 might be correct. The 4th one I don't really agree with because if you watch the videos there are always 1x2 hallways lit with redstone torches, so that's the only reason that was done.

    There is a balance in everything in a build. A small tight passage is great in some contexts. In other locations it just messes up the feeling of the build,

    Rocman, I didn't tell you this long list of things to be mean I told you them because they need to be done in order to get designer. You started what on Saturday? (correct me if I am wrong) You cannot submit 2 days of work and expect to get designer. The only thing you did on my list of tips was to make more rooms which you made 1 of them empty and the other one only had a throne. Again I don't tell you these things to be a jerk I tell them to help you. I have lots of experience with getting the rank 3 times and architect once. The quickest I've ever built a designer plot was a week. Listen to my tips and trust me you will get it. :)

    Trust Mndude on this, He knows what it takes to get designer and Even Architect, if you get him as your mentor for a month then your chances of passing will be A lot higher.
