Those who don’t already have an eye for such things are more likely to be perplexed than persuaded.
Bill Burns Brown, Buzzcuts — Express Media.

Bill Burns Brown of Express Media has recently reviewed the Studio’s exhibition — Twenty Dollars Only. The review is mixed. However, it is exciting to think that an outsider to the process of generating graphic design is able to get a sense of the madness that is required to produce such work from spending a little time taking in the exhibition. Graphic design is a vocation that typically sees a designer jump from client to client, industry sector to industry sector, project to project, has to eventually effect the people who develop and produce the work in one form or another. We are pleased that the exhibition has the potential to excite, overwhelm, persuade, perplex or possibly communicate.

The opening night was hot, literally. So many people, many posters, a confined space — the temperature had to rise. Thanks again for everyone’s support, the show is up until 20 October, so feel free to drop by.Twenty Dollars Only is a poster exhibition that is a manifestation of the cliché — necessity breeds intent. Within the confines of modest budgets and great expectations one feels compelled to (pick up the camera; become familiar with pens, paints, brushes, inks, glue; understand collage, software filters; source props, locations, subjects and gestures) develop the best possible outcome. A2/A1 posters are $20, over 90 designs to choose from…Twenty dollars only at IMPpart of Melbourne Fringe 2007 FestivalAn exhibition of affordable posters by Studio Pip and Co.04 — 20 Octoberat IMP (above), Greville St Books145 Greville Street, PrahranOpens12noon to 5pmWednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday

In June Melbourne based graphic design studio 3 Deep contacted the studio with a special project — to develop a new presentation of 3 Deep‘s work, people and capabilities. We had several meetings and Andrew decided to loosely curate their work around several themes. From this structure Andrew developed a design conversation on stage with 3 Deep’s principals Brett Phillips and David Roennfeldt. It was a nerve racking experience as this presentation style was an unchartered departure from the typical showing work and telling stories about the work format often undertaken by designers. Andrew wanted the 1500 strong audience to get under the skin of 3 Deep and show a side of the practise that investigates process, influence and history.

Up until last Saturday it is unprecedented that a design studio develop and deliver a presentation around and about the work of a competing studio. We named the presentation 3 Deep verses, Studio Pip and Co. verses the World. Many thanks to David and Brett for taking a leap and getting outside their comfort zones and also funding a lovely weekend in New Zealand.
