Blog Roll to Hit London
August 26th, 2010
Wellington designer Josh Barr has work chosen for Anti Design Festival in London. Barr’s work, Blog Roll, is a sculptural piece that challenges the notion of graphic design as two-dimensional and questions the value of digital communication or, as he puts it, “In essence, the work provokes debate about the value of what publishing is.” Share/Save

Live Fast, Die Trying
August 11th, 2010
Perhaps unfairly, promotional material for banking institutions doesn’t often register highly on this site. But then again, the promotional material for banking institutions isn’t generally as typographically interesting as this item produced for an Australian entity called uBank. Don’t despair, there’s a Kiwi connection: the multi-talented designer, colourist and image retoucher Geoff Francis was inolved, as [...]

Fixing Wool
July 14th, 2010
New Zealand wool is in luxury yachts, private planes, the White House, Air Force One and, paradoxically, the doldrums. Brian R Richards is working to reverse farming fortunes. Brian Richards may have a long pedigree in the branding business but his Newmarket offices exude a clean, white, contemporary feel. Here, the hospitality is generous, green tea flows like [...]
Auckland, Where Are You?
July 13th, 2010
Wellington represents in this welcome departure (via Brand Avenue) from the drudgery of logo design competitions. The Cit/ID project’s aim is to “give a (type)face to every city worldwide” — and it’s pretty interesting to see how people view the places in which they live, or have visited, or in respect of Temirtau, Kazahkstan, possibly hold a grudge [...]
Butcher, Baker, Alphabet Maker
July 12th, 2010
Jessica Hische is one of the most eagerly anticipated speakers at Semi-Permanent 2010. Sam Eichblatt tracked her down in New York. From ProDesign 107 with additional images. It’s a deceptively simple idea, but a stroke of genius when it comes to self-promotion. A young Brooklyn-based type designer leaves her day job to go freelance in September 2009, and [...]
