President’s Dinner – an unchosen concept
July 29, 2025
One of the wonderful things about working with the Library is the trove of materials available to use as design inspiration, or reproduced in different ways.
In addition to the visual identity (featured on the invitation, menus, wine list, table numbers and place names pictured), we delivered additional brand elements for use at the event.
Illuminated paper lanterns decorated the long tables and featured imagery from the online exhibition ‘Beyond the Book’, with battery-operated tea lights placed inside to create soft lighting and highlight tiny details of the original lithographs.
Thinking outside the box = event collateral that’s not just menus and table cards.

It’s that time of year when we start looking forward to the end of the working year, changes in the seasons, and celebrations over the New year…
Sometimes it can be hard to think of Christmas Cards (especially when the holiday season is months away). So we present a few ideas to get your creative minds sparking…
For the 2024 President’s Dinner event at State Library Victoria, we created two visual concepts.
This is the concept that didn’t make the cut, and we share some of the additional printing and finishing details.
We have 3 rules when designing merch / swag / promotional gifts: 1. Sustainable
2. Usable
3. Quality
Whatever the brief is, it’s exactly the same. Every project. Every time. Every design. It‘s just one word.
You never know where inspiration comes from : behind-the-scenes at a design project combining the vintage aesthetic of pre-1800 Japanese rare books, with a modern twist.
