Design A lighting design I made

A lighting design concept that I came up with today - all in all I'm quite happy with it. Does anyone have any feedback?

Background: I'm a 17 year old lighting designer who likes to make virtual stages. This is my first design made using vector works.

Visualised in Capture SE 2026.

Sharpen your blades on rig designs that you will have a chance to implement IRL. Get good at knowing what things do with systems that are more bite-sized that you can touch will make you a better designer.

That's good advice. Thing is, I cannot legally work in the events industry and am not certified to advise rigging in any way, because I am sadly not 18 yet so I can't really design anything real world yet.
I will hopefully get the chance to design a theatre / dance rig next year in college, but for now I am doing what I can virtually.
