Treasury Casino required some adaptable graphics that could be used in any orientation, in a variety of locations.
We refreshed the look by pushing the styling and stripping the remaining elements right back. Stark, white and bold with a streak of QueensPlaza’s signature blue.
In early 2011 I organised and letterpress printed Queenslake: a collection of letterpress prints to raise money for the flood relief effort, with all profits donated to The Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal.

We commissioned Brissie band Blame Ringo to write an ultra-catchy, super summery pop anthem – a new theme song for Dreamworld and a soundtrack for their 2010/2011 Summer Funomenon.

The illustration was laser cut into thirteen separate layers and delicately arranged to produce a crafted look.
As part of the QueensPlaza brand refresh I designed a royal seal. The seal was etched into a steel stamp and then cast in hot wax. Everything was produced in house, a resourceful approach that took several attempts – and we used the office sandwich toaster to keep the wax warm until the impression was just right.

The brief for 2008 young lions competition was to develop a print campaign to encourage people to swim between the flags. We created an interactive print advertisement to demonstrate how simple the difference is between life and death. We were one of six teams to make the finals.
I developed this new branding for the budget arm of Apollo Campers, which will launch in July 2011. The name didn’t change, but the branding evolved to reflect a more sophisticated, cool and contemporary hippie ideal – free–spiritedness for the 21st century!
