Portraits and One AGDA: A Way of Working
No brief, no rules
Some illustrations start with a brief. These ones started with a question: what does a person, or a place, actually look like when you strip away the obvious?
One AGDA — Illustration and Collaboration
Collaboration with Futago
The same approach, applied to a place. As part of AGDA's national brand launch, designers and illustrators from across Australia were invited to respond to the question: what can Australian design do? Each response had to fit within a half A-size format.
The poster applies the same logic as the portrait series below: a realistic mashup of ideas, references and details that together build a picture of Australian design, not literally, but truthfully.
Portraits
A personal series of titled portraits built from layered, realistic mashups of objects, animals, references and details that together paint a picture of someone. Not a likeness, but an essence. Designer Daily described the work as looking like illustrations pulled from a weird bestiary, which felt about right.
