The graphic and interior design students studying at Hunter TAFE’s Design Centre recently curated a stunning set of works for their graduating exhibition. The joint exhibitions entitled Crystallize (Graphic Design) and On the Wall – Voyeur (Interior Design) highlighted the varied and unique suite of skills developed by the graduates.
Opened on Wednesday 8 June, it was the first exhibition to activate the new Design Centre gallery space at Hunter TAFE’s Newcastle Campus in Tighes Hill.
Hunter TAFE Design Head Teacher, Anna Bleakley said the exhibition was the culmination of up to 18 months of study and offers an opportunity for students to showcase their designs as they embark on their careers in the design industry.
“Hunter TAFE’s Design Centre offers a collaborative design program that brings together 14 different disciplines. The programs provide students with specialised, real-world training that promotes individuality and will prepare them for a career in the design industry,” she said.
The ‘Crystallize’ exhibition showcased a range of works from Diploma of Graphic Design students including typography, layout, illustration, animation and photography. Crystallize, meaning to bring together, or make sense of, was symbolic of the student’s artistic journey before heading into their careers in design.
The “On the Wall – Voyeur” exhibit highlighted the diverse breadth of work of graduating Diploma of Interior Design and Decoration students. Voyeur explores the various modes of viewing, and dissemination of interior design both past and present. The viewer is subtly manipulated to engage with the exhibition and become part of the seeing and the seen.
Located at Hunter TAFE’s Newcastle Campus, Design Centre Hunter is a connected, collaborative hub that inspires and supports students, teachers and industry in design related disciplines to work together in new and innovative ways. These disciplines include though are not exclusive to Architecture, Graphic, Interior, Fashion, Floristry, Industrial and Kitchen Design as well as Furniture Making, Performing Arts, Signage, Digital Media and Fine Arts.
