Eastview Students Create Bus Panels

Students enrolled in the Multi-Media Class at Eastview High School have produced interior panels for display in select Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA) buses. The panels focus on themes involving school activities, community service and transit.
The students ’artwork was reviewed by the MVTA and winning entries were selected in the three categories: School Activities -senior Derek DeGrote ; Community Service -junior Mana Moini ; Transit -sophomore Lucas Melchior. These students all received a certificate of award and a $25 gift certificate to an area restaurant for their efforts.

Students receiving honorable mention were: John Ulrich, Sal D’Agostino and Holly Steiner, all seniors at Eastview.

As part of their class, students had to complete a final project using PhotoShop software. Production of the interior bus panels was offered as one option and Tyler Krebs, Video and Multimedia Specialist at Eastview, said some students chose this option for their final project. As in previous years, the MVTA had the panels printed and dry mounted by Cornerstone Copy Center, for display on the interior of MVTA buses. Students were also given a copy of their final product. The students used a variety of graphics and images in producing the panels.

This project is part of a strategic partnership between the MVTA and area schools. This is the third year the MVTA has worked with Eastview High School. The MVTA has also worked with Burnsville High School students. Other area high schools interested in participating in this program are invited to contact the MVTA.

MVTA is the public transportation provider for the businesses and residents of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Rosemount, and Savage.
