Spicer Paper commissioned the studio to continue the Saxton paper conversation with fine paper specifiers. A comprehensive campaign has been put together speaking of Saxton’s exclusive distribution through Spicers Paper, the addition of several new paper weights, and FSC endorsement.

To avoid developing a typical environmental campaign we develop a concept around the notion of – getting back to the good life. The good life can be many things. It can be about – thinking in broader terms of the consequences of ones actions; the making of quality ideas; and developing durable choices over disposable choices. This notion invites many interpretations and in the spirit of the abundance of outcomes we invited a range Brooklyn based illustrator Edwina White, designers Tin & Ed, photographer Earl Carter and London based photographer Shara Henderson to develop their idea of what the good life might be.

Several outcomes will be hitting the market including these Saxton note books with poster wraps (4 kinds), a range of postcards (6 kinds) and print advertising. Thanks to our collaborators – Earl, Shara, Tin, Ed, Edwina, Gunn & Taylor Printers and Spicers Paper for another enjoyable process.

Visit Spicers Paper, Earl Carter, Shara Henderson, Tin and Ed, and Edwina White here.

The studio is in the process of developing a communications campaign for this revered Melbourne printer. Andrew started with photographing and developing a suite of images relating to the operation and then to shift the visual points of reference.

One can expect that a high quality printer will go nuts with various printing techniques, and that is because they can – papers have been laminated, spots colours, 4 colour process and spot clear foil. Thank you Gunn & Taylor for another wonderful process. Collect all 782 designs.

Two Pools developed in August 2002, featured in Area_2, is a self initiated publishing project that came about from a last minute request. David Lancashire was putting Andrew forward for consideration for Alliance Graphique Internationale membership and wondered if one had some sort of print piece to give delegates at the AGI Congress in Helsinki. One could have developed some sort of portfolio print piece, or tell a story using design, photography and writing.

At the time he had just left Precinct Design and had started Studio Pip and Co. working out of his third bedroom in West St Kilda.

One half of the project is a piece of writing investigating the place that disabled people have in our community, and the other is a photographic survey of public swimming pools in Sydney and Melbourne. We sold the first lot wrapped in string and housed in an window cut envelop. Completed in one take the hand lettering was again executed in watered down gouache with a fine sable brush.

A small run of this piece was printed by Gunn & Taylor in Melbourne. It is available for $10 plus postage, simply email the studio for your copy.

Burt Bacharach’s recent coming to town had a profound effect on design.

Join us for a collection of five minute rushes from the designers, or friends, of Hired Gun Design, The Surgery, Tank, The Narrows, Is Not Magazine, 21–19, Ziegler Design, Studio Pip and Co. Design by Pidgeon, Studio Round and Paperpoint.

Insights from a variety of designers in matters that start with design and beyond. The next profound, lovely, and sometimes scary installment of Forty-eight promises to be great on the night.

Invitation in the post to AGDA members.
