Bayside P-12 College student Alyssa Cunanan’s hard work has paid off, as not one but three of her subject works are on display at the Top Arts exhibition, along with the rest of Victoria’s most outstanding VCE and VCE VET design and technology students.
Alyssa’s visual dommunications design piece was a stationery store based in Fitzroy, her media piece a comic and her creative digital media piece an animated brand video and website.
For Alyssa, time management was key in order to balance all of her subjects.
“Time management was hellish but I was pretty lucky because I completed business the year before I only had four subjects including English,” she said.
Visitors to the exhibition can witness the inventive ways in which the students employ design to contribute to a more progressive world, like the way Alyssa used 3D printing for her architectural visual communication design folio.
“It was a pain to troubleshoot because I’m not really good at 3D printing,“ she said.
“But the good thing about 3D printing is I was able to accurately get all the building facade details to replicate the shop in Fitzroy and have my own take on the classic shop front design.”
Now studying architecture in university, Alyssa’s pieces reflect her passions and her aspirations for her future.
“I liked working on the 3D environment folio, graphics were fun too but I’m not the biggest fan of graphics.”
Top Designs 2024 will run until Sunday, July 14 at the Melbourne Museum.
