Posters

A client of ours recently had their 40th birthday party and asked us to create a invitation to mark the event.

Major exhibition at Heide Museum of Modern Art opening on Saturday 14 July 2007.

Each year as part of the AGIdeas International Design Conference, studios around Melbourne open up their doors and give around 20 students the opportunity to experience a working studio. The invitations for these events have been used by the studio as typographic experiments.

The 2004 invitation used a typeface called Hex which was developed by Pidgeon and explores the application of multiple colours to a single letter form. In 2006 we explored the geometry of an extruded pentagon and 2007 a new typeface developed from the roof geometry of the Robin Boyd Baker House (see below).

A poster created to promote a talk by Pidgeon in Canberra. The seating plan of the House of Representatives at Parliament House created a C for Canberra and a form to contain the contents of the talk.

Submission into the 1st Australian Poster Annual which need to respond to the theme ‘Beauty Rich and Rare’, which comes from the Australian National Anthem:

Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil;
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history’s page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We’ll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who’ve come across the seas
We’ve boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.

Our response looked the cultural diversity of Australia and that not everyone looks at things in the same way.
