The end of year publication for undergrad at Swinburne University’s Design Faculty serves many purposes – to document students, their work, communicating this output to family, the industry sectors as well as other design institutions.

In 2005 the Studio was asked to put together a publication that communicated the Faculty and its achievements, using a united editorial and writing team, cohesive image making, along with a curated collection of graduate work all within a modest budget. Inspired to illustrate the transformation process of tertiary eduction the theme “transform me” followed up “people, place and work” theme established the year before.

This publication was recognised at the 2006 Australian Graphic Design Association Award for editorial design.

The Industry Based Learning unit of the Swinburne University programme required a communication that helped employers understand and adopt this industry / tertiary collaboration. Rather than focus on a specific design style, we simply collected the things, tools, or objects typical of a contemporary creative environment and celebrated them is a modest printed document.

The studio devised the communication approach, developed the writing and image making, executed the printed design and produced the printed product. A ten week project.
