"My name is Brent Shelly with Expert Village and we are talking about lighting design today. One of the biggest things you want to do when approaching a particular space is that you want to think of it in terms of layer. The more layers you have, the more flexibliity you have in a space and you can create different moods, different ambience and really for instance in a kitchen when you are preparing food, you need a high level of light. When you are hanging out after a meal or having a nice a glass of wine or just hanging out, you need a lot less light so you want to be able to control that lighting; be able to have different layers. Something that I kind of created to help me and to help in teaching others to think of the layers is a little acronym that I use ta da. It is kind of easy to remember and it is kind of cheesy I know but it is easy to remember because what we are doing is creating magic. Ta da, that is just kind of memorable. "
