2010-08-23T02:26:42+00:00

A layered corporate identity for mid-sized architectural studio, 1.1 Architects, consisting of a three-dimensional mark, logo, typography, colour, photography and written language. The collaborative practice was interpreted through the mark which was based on the geometric principles of the tesseract where imagination and varying inputs can create many possible outcomes.

Edwards Moore

2010-08-20T01:28:21+00:00

Edwards Moore is a creative practice born from varied design backgrounds and driven by a belief in the art of architecture. We developed an identity system that explored the interplay between the two directors, Ben Edwards and Juliet Moore.

Each typographic expression was informed by emotive characteristics that defined the partnership: serious, playful, energetic, precise, and learning.

Victorian College of the Arts

2010-08-19T20:28:16+00:00

An identity system for the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA). The identity needed to frame the artistic culture of the faculty and allow the personalities of the four sub schools - arts, performing arts, music and film and television - to shine through.

VCA was symbolised by a pyramid where four platforms, representing the four schools, converge to create a whole. Often chaotic, the identity reflects the ground up, energetic and creative ethos of the VCA. A collaboration with Axel Peemoeller.
