Visual Arts Students’ Stationary Book Designs
Late last year four talented ASC Visual Arts students were commissioned by David Bagworth at The Academic Group to design covers for exercise books. The goal was to make these books more visually appealing to the students who use them.
Year 11 students Andy Zhou, Kat Savanyo and Kim Stone, and Year 12 student Taryn Lee joined forces to co-design the captivating ‘Tailsend’ underwater artwork. Additionally, Year 10 student Ash Schipper’s Pacman-City inspired digital photography was chosen for the second exercise book.
The students approached this paid opportunity with professionalism and dedication, resulting in stunning designs that will undoubtedly captivate their peers.
Congratulations Taryn, Andy, Kat, Kim and Ash!
