Australian Graphic Design gets rebranded

The Australian Graphic Design Association (AGDA) has recently had a rebrand by Interbrand. The brand agency looked at how AGDA is perceived and how it can be more inclusive and relevant in the industry. The “One AGDA” campaign was launched last week and was received really well. It’s an exciting time to be an AGDA member and we can’t wait for what’s in store for the Association.

The Fogarty Report 2014

The Fogarty Foundation was established by Brett and Annie Fogarty in 2000 to provide educational opportunities to West Australians in an effort to help them achieve their potential and inspire community leadership.

Every year, the Foundation puts out a report summarising their programs and events.

For the 2014 report, they wanted to dramatically update it’s look to make it more energetic and youthful. We used the Foundation’s logo concept of ripples, as it represents the positive flow on effect the Foundation’s work has through all its activities, and designed a bright and spacious layout that puts the images first. 

The Report was well received at launch and the new style established will influence future projects.
