Vintage Aussie Design: Jerome Gould for Farmer’s Union
This brilliant Farmer’s Union milk and dairy packaging from the 1980s should be revived in my humble opinion.
Via the wonderful Re:Collection, an online archive of Australian graphic design from 1960 - 1980.
The Australia Project
The Australia Project is an exercise in redefining the Australian stereotype and a new opportunity to discuss and explore our cultural identity as a nation.
The Australia Project is asking Australian creatives and the general public, to engage in a national debate regarding the current status of contemporary Australian culture.
We are seeking to explore and redefine clichéd national stereotypes in the hope of revealing unique and personal perspectives on Australia today.
The website is full of fantastic resources on Australian design, culture and identity, including links to Sydney photography project 52 Suburbs, work by Studio Pip & Co’s Andrew Ashton, Kevin Finn as well as other important essays and articles.
The Print Directory [Australia]
The Print Directory is now up and running at theprintdirectory.com.au.
This is a really great resource for designers or anyone interested in printing, binding and finishing services. It’s also a really great resource for students because there are featured articles on printing and finishing methods, demystifying processes such as foiling or letterpress (the two topics covered so far).
TPD is a free resource connecting Australian printers to designers, artists and publishers. The website aims to streamline the process of supplier selection by listing printers on the directory and highlighting their capabilities.
It looks like the site will be continually updated with information and listings, so it’s definitely one to bookmark.
