18.01.2022 We’re always being told about the power of brand, but rarely do we get the chance to find out how to go about creating one - from strategy, to creative and beyond. Whether you’re doing it for yourself, your work, or for a client, running a brand project is hard. The path to success is full of hurdles, potholes and decoys that can stop you getting the result you’re after. But it doesn’t have to be like that. Running a brand project can be a thoroughly interesting and highly re...warding experience. There is nothing more satisfying than launching a new brand to market and watching the amazing difference it can make. In this 2.5-hour class, you will be taken on a tightly compact run-through of the multiple components of a typical branding project falling under 4 main stages.

15.01.2022 These workshops have been getting rave reviews!

10.01.2022 Some claim to have it. Most, claim not. But... (Spoiler!) We’re all creative. Or, at least, can be. The ability to think up successful (engaging, relevant) ideas can be learnt, developed and applied. Anyone properly prepared and prepared to try can do it.... In our world of ever-increasing attention-demanding information, an idea to catch the ear and eye can mean the difference between adored and ignored. Discover what constitutes and idea, why and how to have them, judge them, and the difference they can make.

09.01.2022 These workshops are getting rave reviews in other states. Canberra’s turn on Thursday. There’s a few places left but get in quick. Registration link in bio @ University of Canberra

09.01.2022 What a year this has been so far, hey? It seems like everyone is reassessing their place in the world, which opens up new possibilities and opportunities for c...hange. While everyone is in lockdown, we've been thinking about what we should do with the AGDA Design Awards this year. Would a design awards program be something that would offer some positive light during a difficult time, or would they seem frivolous and unimportant in the context of what design businesses are going through? Is there scope for a revised awards that includes some free entry categories and a 100% remotely judged program? Or are there other ways of doing this? We'd love to get your feedback so we can integrate it into our plans. Take care and stay the f*ck home. Nic Eldridge AGDA CEO & Awards Co-ordinator
