Australian Graphic Design

Poster designed by Inkahoots 2002, a Brisbane community access screenprinting collective. From Graphic Design for the 21st Century by Charlotte & Peter Fiell.
I would like to quote Incahoots today, July 22, my eightieth birthday.
"Like the child that closes its eyes and imagines it can't be seen, design now seems willfully blinded to the anti-human consequences of consumer capitalism. We release rushing torrents of words, images and sounds that often say nothing at all, and at worst deceive and degrade our humanity. We also create electric works with the potential to explore new ways of knowing ourselves. Inkahoots believes our visual language is a site for the organization of social power. We can close our eyes and pretend the world isn't there, or we can imagine a better world."
Inspiration: Flagler College Graphic Design

A fairly simple website for the graphic design program at Flagler designed by Scott Jehl, a fellow designer/developer in the Boston area. It's more about the little things in this design that get my attention as well as the focus on content. I also like this site much better than the actual Flagler College website.

26 Exchanges, London Design Festival 2009

We're part of 26, a collective of writers (www.26.org.uk). Some of our members have just created this piece working with International PEN, Harry Pearce at Pentagram and All of Us. 26 writers were paired with writers overseas and each explored the idea of translation. This typographic film was projected within a dark room, and gives a taste of the words, phrases, ideas, misunderstandings and fertile understandings that were generated. Words explode, dissolve, form, reform, emerge, merge... We'll post a link to the film if/when it goes online. These snaps capture only 1/1000th of a graphically powerful piece.
