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.
Shop: Present & Correct [UK]
Present & Correct is a fantastic online stationery store stocked with British and Korean gems (Korea being the mecca of stationery in my humble opinion).
Paper beats Internet
Paper beats Internet is an ‘analog’ social networking site that is a
home for entries that focus on exploring the use and relationship between hand-rendered type and images. The work is a dialogue between students and invited guest contributers with professional backgrounds in design, illustration, fine art, writing and other disciplines
It’s like a forum where threads start as drawings and all the replies are drawings.
Below are some great illustrations from the site, all copyright their respective owners.
