Royal North Shore Hospital Sydney

Solving the Royal North Shore Hospital's wayfinding was not just about designing ‘better’ signs. Legibility, colour and graphics may be the necessary physical tools for a sign but it was the comprehension of their meaning that was important and how this was organised into a cognitive pattern of sign types. Clarity and directness of the wayfinding system is enhanced and enlivened by the use of colour utilised at each lift core as a wayfinding tool to correspond with vertical circulation. Visitors felt comfortable in their spatial environment, and were easily oriented and logically informed.

Design is

Artificial Realities

Artificial Realities, an exhibition of established and emerging artists, marks the 25th year since the inauguration of the East Wing Biennial. The exhibition identity, commissioned by the Courtauld Institute of Art (London) aimed to capture the essence of the artists exhibiting as well as the surroundings in which it was set.

Developing from the bank's logo, patterns with slightly different shades subtly appear page over page to decorate as well as evoke the brand.

Insitu Festival

Insitu is a "site specific" dance festival, showing dance pieces created in relation to a specific site. Therefore the visual identity plays with dimensions in a typographic concept that puts words in a space, relating them to their surroundings. The typographic concept is versatile and flexible, and is being used in various ways across many medias. This gives the festival a recognisable, yet variating visual expression.

Ephemeral Eternal

Eternity can be waiting to be discovered in an ephemeral moment. This show is about that Poetic Discovery. Seventeen oversized posters of Typography, Photography, and Illustrations bring the viewers through such a story regarding a lost bottle cap on a quiet snowy night. The installation was designed as an immersive experience, letting the story surround the viewers. Then each poster is designed as a treasure hunt itself, with a small design element hidden within its expanse, also just waiting to be discovered.
