Design Graduates Reunite!

Lindsay Call and Sara Prowess offered helpful information about their everyday design work and accomplishments at their respective design firms, Wynn Design and Development and Yates-Silverman, Inc.  Each described the work they do on a typical day in the real interior design world.  They shared stories, outlined their scope of responsibilities, their preparation, and their experiences in their current careers.  They were great inspirations to us all of what we can be capable of if we keep working hard.  Their success showed that in the end all the blood, sweat, tears, and late nights, are worth it in the end!  Thanks for coming and sharing your great insights with us!

Dario Antonioni and Senior Dinner 2010

A round of applause to the Seniors for their blood, sweat, and tears, in planning an awesome Senior Dinner, Show, and Gala event!





Orange 22 principal Dario Antonioni was invited as the events' keynote speaker. At the Senior Dinner, the seniors enjoyed Italian candy, delicious pizza, and Antonioni's priceless advice on a successful career after graduation. In a special design seminar, Antonioni delivered a wonderful presentation on the design process to interior and graphic design students. The Senior Show and Gala was an excellent opportunity for students and seniors' guests to mingle among the delicious dessert bar and the incredible interactive Senior Show in the Spori Art Gallery. The Senior Show reflects the amazing talent and commitment of members of our senior class in a beautifully creative showcase. Antonioni also provided insight into his own journey to becoming a outstanding designer through a Q&A session. Students were enamored by Antonioni’s excellent presentation skills, valuable information, and incredible design achievement. The seniors should be commended for the excellent work in putting a fantastic event together!

Michael Fazio

Do you remember the Magazine Game that Michael Fazio from ArchIdeas introduced? What about the link between "shopping for shoes" and interior design?? We were very lucky to have Mr. Fazio deliver dynamic presentations with valuable information on becoming a better designer. He expressed that to be a good designer, you must always be looking for ways to improve your environment. Some of the most important tips Mr. Fazio presented included:

Learn to SEE - Look for activities, environments, information, objects, and users in a space (including seeing what is missing in the space)

Delight in Failure - Force yourself to try a different approach to a problem.

• Ask "Why?" and "Why not?"
• Choose a Good and Right Path
• Never Stop Learning

Mr. Fazio also reminded students to keep design and careers in perspective; after the wise words of Einstein, "Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted..."

We were so fortunate to have the talented Mr. Fazio with us in our department for a day!

Don't forget the Powerpoint files from his presentations are posted on I-Learn for your personal access!
