The Daily discovers the competitive world of fashion,
communication, and interior design students
Communication designers lose sleep
working on projects
James O'Brien
Staff Writer
Some students, as the cli-
ché goes, coast through class-
es and depend on a caffeine-
fueled nights of cramming to
pass a final exam.
Visual Communications
(graphic artists in training)
majors do not have the lux-
ury of multiple choice exams
or essay tests. According to
student Carter Martin, Dallas
senior, graphic artists are
tested constantly.
"Every day you have
to show how far along you
have come with your project,"
Martin said. "There's no way
to B.S. it or float by. It's embar-
rassing and almost an insult to
the other students when you
haven't done your work."
And unlike math prob-
lems, a graphic artist's job is
never really done.
"The work is infinite,"
Martin said.

Fashion majors compete with friends, develop
close relationships with faculty
Kim Cox
Staff Writer
Following hem lines,
basting stitches and brown
paper patterns, the NT
fashion design students are
cutting and sewing their
way to graduation, and,
they hope, careers.
According to Li-Fen Anny
Chang of the Visual Arts fac-
ulty, those who stick with it
should be able to join the fash-
ion workforce.
"Our courses are very
thorough," Chang said.
"We don't guarantee a stu-
dent a job, but if they work
hard, they should be able
to get into the doors of the
fashion industry."
An upside of the rigorous
classes is that there are no
written tests, Tori Bleakley,
Chicago junior, said. But they
do have a design due every
week, and the students cri-
tique each other.
"The critiques aren't so

bad ... but the actual grad-
ing," Bleakley said, trailing
off. "The teachers are very
picky. A lot of it is very pre-
cise. You could be off one-
sixteenth of
an inch, and you could mess
it all up."

Interior design students invest time and money in their portfolios
Claudia Nwaogu
Staff Writer
NT interior design stu-
dents are making a name
for themselves. Their inge-
nuity and creativity is rec-
ognized by interior design
companies in the Metroplex
and have even caught the
eyes of television produc-
ers from HGTV's "Designer
Finals," a program that
allows senior interior
design students to design a
room in a family's home.
The interior design pro-
gram considered to be one
of the best in Texas. It is
very competitive and is not
so easy to get into.
Students have to go
through an entrance portfo-
lio to get into the program.
To continue to upper level
courses, students go through
a midpoint portfolio, and to
graduate from the program,
students have to present a
senior portfolio.
Bruce Nacke of the visu-
al arts department said the
program only has room to
accept the best.
"It is competitive, because
more people apply than
there is room [for]," Nacke
said. "We just had to review
entry portfolios, and 82 peo-
ple applied, but we only had
56 spaces to fill."
Nancy Vazquez-Luna,
Fort Worth senior, will
be among the 38 interior
design students planning to
graduate in May. Vazquez-
Luna said people do not
realize that an interior
designer's job is more than
just picking out curtains.
"People think that we
just come in and pick out
wall coloring, but a big part
of the job is to make sure
that the space we design is
safe," Vazquez-Luna said.
"We have to make sure that
we meet fire codes and dis-
ability codes and that peo-
ple have enough room to
get to exits quickly."
Each class assignment
teaches the students skills
they will need such as learn-
ing to design, understanding
color and space form, know-
ing how to apply the skills
and learning to work with
the needs of their clients. The seniors must con- "It's one of the toughest
