We have been at the creative heart of Wellington, and indeed the nation, for nearly 125 years, and have been impacting on the cultural and economic well-being of New Zealand through our innovative thinking throughout this time. Known variously as the Wellington School of Design and the Wellington School of Art, we have produced some of the country’s best-respected artists and designers. Since 2000, as Massey’s College of Creative Arts, in Wellington and Auckland, we continue to produce world-class graduates in art and design. Many of these have been
instrumental in shaping New Zealand’s national identity through iconic imagery, or contributing to its economic growth through the creation of original and desirable designs and products. Our alumni include proven leaders in New Zealand’s creative and cultural industries: Kate Sylvester, Richard Taylor, Mark Pennington, Gordon Walters, Rebecca Taylor, John Drawbridge, Grant Alexander, Jane Ussher and Len Lye all studied with us and all have touched the lives of New Zealanders through creating the clothes we wear, the films we watch, the furniture and household articles we buy, the media we communicate
with and the images that represent our unique culture to the world. Ground breaking creations such as the Fisher & Paykel Dish Drawer, the Apple iMac, Formway’s ‘Life Chair’, the digital animations of Lord of the Rings and Avatar, all came about through the work of our alumni. Recent graduates can be found in design studios and enterprises across the country, and indeed across the globe. Although many of them may not yet be known to you by name, like the generations of students who have come through this extraordinary New Zealand institution before them, they give shape to the material world around us in a distinct and compelling Kiwi manner.
Like other world leading design schools such as the Royal College of Art, ACCD California, or Rhode Island School of Design, the College of Creative Arts has always understood the intimate and important relationship between fine art and design. We also understand that a strong arts community is central to developing national identity and encouraging a creative and innovative knowledge economy. We are pleased to be helping to build such a community here in Wellington, the nation’s creative capital. Congratulations to all our graduating students. You have worked hard for this moment. You deserve your moment in the sun. PROFESSOR SALLY MORGAN PRO VICE-CHANCELLOR

INSTITUTE OF DESIGN FOR
INDUSTRY AND ENVIRONMENT

Design for industry and the environment is of significance to us all. In our increasingly international consumer orientated society, the ability to transform materials into desirable and valued objects, places and spaces is fundamental to our physical, psychological and economic wellbeing and identity. It is also critical for a sustainable future.
The design disciplines of Fashion, Industrial, Spatial, Textiles and Performance form the Institute of Design for Industry and Environment. Each discipline has its own values, theory, practise and research culture that is nurtured and encouraged within the Institute. There is also rich opportunity for exchange and exploration between these disciplines within the Institute and also beyond into the wider university and community. Our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes capitalise on the research excellence and technical support of our world-class staff. The work presented in this year’s publication illustrates the quality of the Institute. The outstanding creativity of these graduates, the inspirational guidance of
their academic teachers and the technical and administrative support provided by my colleagues demonstrates our commitment to design excellence and innovation. These are key qualities not only for our graduates and staff but also for New Zealanders, our industry and environment as we make our way in the world. A world that is challenged by economic uncertainty and environmental change needs, more than ever before, the ideas, insights and solutions design can contribute. Congratulations to the students and staff of the Institute for the achievements of 2009. I wish all our graduates success and fulfillment in their careers.

FASHION
New Zealand’s creative future continues to be well supported by this year’s fashion graduates. The fashion department congratulates the success of the students to exhibit such creative and innovative design outcomes as a culmination of their graduate study. A number of students have gained top places in design competitions including ID Emerging Designer Awards and Hokonui Fashion Awards and industry supported Massey fashion awards. Strong conceptual design research and technical experimentation formed the basis for innovative and exciting collections this year. Garment designs ranged from performative design pieces to directional market driven fashion collections. This work was showcased at the graduate exhibition and Fashion Show Tenth Edition.
An ability to design apparel with directional aesthetics and function, and openly embrace cultural and commercial concerns, is essential to meeting the complexities of a rapidly changing fashion industry. DEB CUMMING PROGRAMME LEADER FASHION DESIGN

TEXTILES
Textile Design is concerned with understanding and creating one of the most intimate and yet public aspects of the material world. In our unique programme we encourage exploration in design and colour, development of technical knowledge, and digital media skills for translating textile concepts into marketable products. The 2009 Textile Design graduate work reflects the students’ sustained commitment to engage in critical debates to focus and contextualise their designs. Along with their broad skills base and a thorough understanding of the structure and surface aspects of textile design, our students are well prepared for successful careers within the international arena of textiles. The students have produced innovative, contemporary applications and will contribute to various creative, commercial, cultural and heritage organisations. Some of the students
have already achieved recognition and outstanding success in competitions such as the International Society of Dyers and Colourists, World of Wearable Arts and the Hokonui Fashion Awards. We wish this group of students well and commend them on the quality of their achievements. DR SANDRA HEFFERNAN PROGRAMME LEADER TEXTILE DESIGN

INDUSTRIAL
Design is about creating pleasurable, desirable and meaningful experiences for people. The contribution of industrial design is multifacetted. The economic and societal value of being able to offer the market products that meet utilitarian as well as emotional needs cannot be underestimated. This needs to be done with care, respect and consideration to others, to our planet, and to our future. Projects by our students show a profound level of innovation and original thought grounded in solid research. They reflect their ability to understand and inquire into novel contexts of use and to transform ideas into relevant, innovative and exciting products. Our graduates increasingly show that they are thoroughly prepared for successful careers as industrial designers. A Red Dot Award plus success at the 2009 BeST awards (half of the student finalists were from Massey) and the 2009 Dyson awards
(all three finalists were from Massey) are proof of their abilities. We congratulate our Industrial Design graduates for their outstanding achievements as they enter the world with the privilege and responsibility of shaping our futures in the most influential of ways: by creating products that surprise, delight and enhance our everyday experiences.

SPATIAL
Spatial design is the practice of imagining, forming and constructing environments that consider space, time and sensory inhabitation. Emerging from the field of Interior Design this programme explores the embodied and theoretical conditions of architectural and virtual environments, as well as performance events. Our interdisciplinary approach integrates textile, furniture, object, fashion, digital and installation design, which is facilitated by our position within Massey University’s College of Creative Arts. This allows our graduates to work in a wide range of industries, including architecture, film, multimedia, exhibition, urban and events design. The 2010 Spatial Design graduates have been a particularly strong and dynamic cohort who have
shown a commitment to, and passion for, designing environments and experiences during their time with us. We wish them all the very best in their future. They leave Massey with creative skills and a breadth of thinking that will enable them to make valuable contributions in their chosen careers. DR DORITA HANNAH PROGRAMME LEADER SPATIAL DESIGN

PERFORMANCE
This year we are very pleased to graduate our final cohort of students in this dynamic programme. Run jointly between Massey University and Toi Whakaari (New Zealand Drama School), the Performance Design degree offered a unique education in the developing fields of live and performing arts. This specialisation in Performance Design study at Massey will continue through the Spatial Design programme and postgraduate studies. Performance Design is a discipline that works in the many situations of performance, across spatio-temporal practices in theatre, film, dance, opera, music, exhibition, fashion, performance art, and events. It considers the active role that design can play in manipulating space, object, movement, body, and light to become a performing agent with languages and narratives of its own.
methods, theory, and creative processes in order to design performance and perform design. The past four years of study have been very busy for this group of exceptionally gifted and committed students with the 2007 Prague Quadrennial, the stunning Quarters film project, numerous productions, and the Set.Departure performance exhibition at The Print Factory. Our congratulations to them all for their fantastic achievements over the past four years, and best wishes for the future.
These students have learnt the principles of designing for the stage, whilst also researching

INSTITUTE OF
COMMUNICATION DESIGN
78
The Institute of Communication Design is recognised as providing one of the best design educations in Australasia. Its contemporary portfolio of courses and worldclass facilities provide the ideal environment for students to realise their full creative potential.
This is evidenced in our students’ achievements on an annual basis; not only do they win national and international competitions such as the Best Awards and the Australasian Student Design Awards, they also gain employment in some of the top agencies and companies in their field of practice such as Weta Digital, Designworks, Sauce FX and Sidhe Interactive. Our staff are similarly successful; as-well as being high quality educators they also have international research profiles and are recognised as leaders in their particular fields. Staff have exhibited, presented, published and participated in many international conferences, exhibitions and festivals, such as Siggraph, The Tate and Design Research Society conferences.
The Institute is committed to providing the most up to date design education for our students, drawing on global trends in both practice and teaching methods. The success of the Institute rests on our commitment to creative problem solving, analytical thinking and social responsibility. Students are expected to develop new concepts that consider issues such as globalisation and sustainability and demonstrate an understanding of the market, the client and the opportunities offered by new technology. We make sure that our graduates have the creative and professional skills needed to work across the creative industries. The staff and I would like to congratulate all of our 2010 graduates and wish them every success at the start of their careers. CHRIS BENNEWITH HEAD OF INSTITUTE, INSTITUTE OF COMMUNICATION DESIGN 79

ADVERTISING
As advertising permeates every level of our society, the responsibility our graduates face is significant. While still encouraging our students to be innovative and insightful, they still need to be alert to the powerful affect their work can have on societal stereotypes. The Advertising programme has been very successful in the training of advertising leaders in all areas of creativity, especially as art directors, copywriters, and account service over the past 18 years. Our graduates have achieved notable successes in the industry both nationally & internationally. The programme maintains a strong link with industry. Our enviable reputation of pushing the envelope in the practise of both strategic & creative thinking is paramount to the programmes success.
for their respective crafts. It is with confidence that I farewell the graduates into their respective industries. I wish you all long and illustrious careers and look forward to learning of your future accomplishments.
In regard to the 2010 graduates, they have clearly demonstrated their passion and professionalism

DIGITAL MEDIA
As technology continues its pervasive infusion into everyday life, the term digital media undergoes constant redefinition. Media forms are in constant flux, with dynamic interplay between areas such as video, animation, interactivity and motion graphics. Interactivity once described a mouse and a computer screen, but now has expanded to include cell phones, ipods, GPS, motion tracking and the ever-evolving web. As proponents of digital media, students begin to interrogate both their own role and the state of media, suggesting new and innovative ways of bringing disparate elements together. Even in the areas that are considered traditional, students challenge conventions with research from a wide range of sources, giving their work increased meaning and purpose. Fundamental to all study in digital media is an awareness of adaptability; today’s hot tech
trend can soon become tomorrow’s old news. Students leave Massey with strong skills in how to deal with change, adapt, and become award-winning experts and leaders in their fields. With an emphasis on investigation and problem solving, coupled with the desire for new forms of creativity, graduates from our Digital Media programme are well positioned for today’s society.

GRAPHICS
Today’s knowledge economy presents both enormous challenges and opportunities for Graphic Design graduates transcendent of any geographic context, isolated discipline, or optimised concept. Beyond traditional skills and vocational knowledge, graduates of the Graphic Design programme are encouraged to cultivate “design leadership” in their search for the ‘new’ by considering conceptual approaches that blend broader understandings with specific design knowledge – ultimately articulating their ideas in compelling ways enriched by the diverse experiences and perspectives gained through the course. For this reason our graduates are capable of applying their creativity and communication skills to a broad range of industries, businesses and professions outside of, and in addition to, the traditional role of a graphic designer. They have the capacity to shape the future of their industry by addressing
innovations in technology and wider social changes in society. We look forward to following the achievements of this year’s graduates and the impact that they have within the evolving field of graphic design as they extending beyond existing disciplinary boundaries, challenge entrenched thinking, and continue to question what it is to be a ‘Graphic Designer’.

ILLUSTRATION
Illustrations are like words – visual words. They are pictorial translations of thought. Whether created out of paint, pencil or pixels, they too make us think – perhaps in a more immediate way than the written word. As a visual language illustration can be used to depict or represent just about anything. And as with the spoken word, it is constantly evolving and adapting to changes in society, whether they be cultural or technological. An illustrator informs, narrates and comments in much the same way as a writer does through the written word; but the illustrator does it through a rich language of figurative and symbolic forms created through drawings and paintings. These representation structures become what is known as the illustrator’s ‘iconography’, a personal visual language which clearly communicates ideas and information to others.
range of creative communicative strategies. These include such devices as making a pastiche of the horror movie poster to demonstrate how society has succumbed to media hype (Tom Cottle), or showing how contexts change our perceptions of things (Rosa Doyle).

Throughout the School there is a dynamic and innovative culture that pervades all our teaching and research.
We believe that the School is New Zealand’s premier provider of degree level Fine Art and Photography.
The staff who teach on the programmes are notable for their research activities and as exhibiting professional artists, academics and writers. The students who emerge from our courses are imbued with a sense of excitement and purpose. They have comprehensive skills in working across a range of media, and the critical and analytic tools with which to explore the
global dialogues of contemporary practice. Their panache and ĂŠlan are well noted by the creative sector nationally and there is a genuine buzz around the creative community of Wellington anticipating the future careers of these new professionals. The staff of the School of Fine Arts would like to wish the graduates success and fulfillment in their respective futures. PROFESSOR JEREMY DIGGLE HEAD OF SCHOOL, SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS

PHOTOGRAPHY
Our graduates this year will head into a world increasingly reliant on the photographically derived image. At Massey they have learnt to apply photography to a huge range of contexts - from documentary practice through to highly specific client driven applications. A comprehensive understanding of photographic history and the role of the medium in the social realm also informed student work. We are confident that our graduates will use their skills and knowledge to push the boundaries of the medium. During 2009 all of our students were exposed to a regular programme of visiting photographic artists and arts professionals from New Zealand and further afield. We have also developed an exciting relationship with the Goethe Institut that has enabled us to host a series of leading German photographers. This programme – Tiefenscharfe - will continue to strengthen international links between the School of Fine Arts Photography Department and the German photographic scene. In addition to supporting
student learning this initiative also has significant benefits for research within the School. In 2009 we also saw the exhibition The Urban Workshop featuring German photographer Albrecht Fuchs and senior student’s work exhibited at Enjoy Public Art Gallery. The supreme Zonta Design Award went to Andrea Bednarek and Helena De Kok was the recipient of the 2009 Sony AIPA student award. Ann Marsh contributed the second annual Peter Turner Memorial Lecture followed by German luminary photographic artist Tomas Ruff in 2010. This year we also see many of our graduates taking up postgraduate study and we look forward to seeing the exciting results of their endeavours.

FINE ARTS
Congratulations to all the students on the completion of their Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. We are excited about the contribution they will make to the cultural fabric of New Zealand and the world, and we are proud of their contribution to the culture of the School: the art they have made, the words they have written and the arguments they have had. The School of Fine Arts still feels like a new institution, but it’s objectives are as they have always been in the millennia old story of art; graduates from our programme work thoughtfully, independently and collaboratively to make art that interrogates the nature of the world. The School’s focus on critical and interdisciplinary training reflects how artists and other cultural practitioners work today. Graduates will be able to operate both within and across conventional boundaries to do things that reflect the nature of art now, to explore both old and
new forms of image, to both reiterate old problems and go where no-one has gone before. We look forward to following the progress of our graduates as they move into new opportunities as artists, curators, writers, teachers, to postgraduate study, or any of the other paths a degree in Fine Arts sets them up to undertake. And we unreservedly wish them the best. RICHARD REDDAWAY DIRECTOR OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES, SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS

Using specialised workshop and computer-based facilities students learn through projects that are set to inspire and draw out imaginative design solutions.
The Auckland School of Design with its focus on design majors in Industrial Design, Transport Design, Integrated Design and Graphic Design is a creative and innovative place where international students join local students on our Albany campus.
The products, systems and visual communication messages shown in this year’s publication have come about in response to a wide range of economic or socially relevant research questions. The work demonstrates our graduates independent and ingenious approach in finding futuristic, aesthetically
interesting and sometimes provocative outcomes. These graduates have all completed their degrees with a high level of craft, research capability, technical expertise, business understanding and creativity. On behalf of all their teachers and support staff, I congratulate our graduates on their achievement and wish them success for their creative futures.

INDUSTRIAL
Each year the final year students are asked to define their major research project. In the early stages they evaluate questions with unclear and shifting boundaries. We ask of them: Is the problem area too big to work or too small to be relevant? Will the result be meaningful? Or will it be another object in which valuable materials and resources are lost in an endless wasteful cycle? The process of researching such an open problem reveals not only surprising insight for all parties, but gives the initial question a whole new spin. The clearest proof is the relevance of a well-conducted design research process and the energy invested in it. Being aware of crossing the dimensional categories in favour of more integrated solutions, the introduction of the new major in Integrated Design is the next logical step.
With this in mind, I applaud the research projects presented here, and I look forward to seeing the graduates as agents of change in the industry and community at large. OLIVER NEULAND PROGRAMME LEADER INDUSTRIAL DESIGN, AUCKLAND SCHOOL OF DESIGN

TRANSPORT
As the oil crisis deepens, businesses think and develop newer and novel approaches to transportation issues. Green transport alone does not resolve these issues. After all, of all the transportation devices be it cars, boats, planes or trains, many are objects of desire. I am happy to note that Dreyfuss’ definition of design still rings true for our aspiring design graduates; that whatever they are working on, the least it could do is to make people ‘plain happier’. As in the previous years, the students again worked on propositions that have impacts on individual pursuits as well as communities and organisations. So, from farming to racing to leisure, our Transport Design graduates this year again demonstrated that design is neither utilitarian nor cosmetic. The raft of research projects presented proposals that not only make us more efficient, but suggest new directions. Through
meticulous investigation and design development, graduates were able to make connections with the industry and get their outcomes looked at internationally. I congratulate the graduates and look forward to hearing more on their achievements in the future. To our potential students and clients, let us work together to further demonstrate the spirit of Kiwi ingenuity in the years to come.

GRAPHIC
Communication and design are both fundamental categories of human activity. As such, our graduates spend 4 years at Massey gaining the expertise to enter the wider world as the potent and necessary force that drives our culture onwards and upwards. Expertise that is evidenced by the raw talent, craft, dedication and integrity exhibited in this publication. Our graduates have not only gained expertise and knowledge concerning the fundamentals of graphic design, visual literacy and typography, but have also honed their personal voices by tackling problems, issues and concerns current in our society. In creating responses to these larger socio-cultural concerns our graduates express the critical component of a Massey University education: the desire to define the world around them, combined with the expert skills that allow them to do just that.
In reviewing the projects contained in this book, I am filled not only with pride in the work of our graduates, but the confidence that New Zealand is better off for their being here to care for it. Our students can take pride in knowing that they stand on a level with graduates of the finest institutions the world over.

POSTGRADUATE STUDIES
186
Postgraduate students are expected, with the rigorous supervision of experts, to research their ideas with reference to related texts, theories and practices.
The postgraduate possibilities offered through Art and Design at the College of Creative Arts enable our students to experience an extraordinary opportunity for in-depth research in their chosen disciplines.
The postgraduate experience builds upon the skills acquired at undergraduate level and leads to a consolidation in theory and practice that expands the horizon of possibilities. In the pursuit of postgraduate projects in Design, Fine Arts and Visual and Material Culture, candidates will have challenged the expected and explored the unexpected. Their work will have involved questioning, investigation, experimentation, self
reflection, and the articulation of creative responses to research questions. The outcomes represented here encompass visual, aural and tactile artifacts and systems resulting from this enquiry, along with supporting documentation. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the range of research possible in the creative arts. I congratulate our candidates on their achievement and wish them success for their creative futures.

FRANCES BENSON
Master of Design The Interior Cinematic: beauties and horrors from the strange loop of self Buffeted by extreme external and internal forces we human beings can malfunction. The self can splinter and spiral and a loss of personal sovereignty can result: a horrific freefall into madness and estrangement. But the loss of self can also describe the pinnacle of sensory ascendency: a beautiful, life affirming state. I explore the autobiographical and the universal, and utilise film, costume and performance to chart an aesthetic pathway of re-engagement between these two overlapping and contradictory existential poles. francesbenson@lycos.com 021 356 030

HANNAH EDMUNDS
Master of Fine Arts In revealing the space between the act and the acted, an unknown actor operates as both participator and watcher of his own actions. Through the visual language of appropriation, I begin to formalise elements of Eurocentric masculinity, physicality and self-reflexivity. The approach to my subject has been both choreographical and curatorial with an emphasis on the use of banal everyday movement and gestures, so often used within the cinematic frame. This character operates autonomously within his own reconstructed narrative; both synchronised and dejected; from one frame to another re-contexualising his own interplay. hannahe21@hotmail.com 021 063 9463

Corporeal research considers not only this cultural milieu and the relationship between viewer and viewed but also the formal qualities of the music video and the screen as mirror. What begins as the performance of me for myself is refracted to consider the mythological body, temporality, seduction and a desperate vanity of perception in the performance of her for herself. meg.frauenstein@gmail.com 027 665 6147 194

Master of Design Blind Insight How can the medium of digital photography communicate the sensory experience of a blind person? Experiential learning is an effective approach to empathise with the way totally blind people ‘see’. The research project explores the systematic processes of sensing, selecting and perceiving in order to construct visual images for a sighted audience. Through interpreting an auditory experience photographically, the resulting work, Blind Insight, gives a visual voice to moments of perception which foster a dialogue between the blind and the sighted and inspire a sense of empathy in the target audience.

JOHNATHON TITHERIDGE
Master of Fine Arts My Masters work has interrogated ideas of autoeroticism and car restoration. During the process of restoration you develop a relationship with an inanimate object, and to realise the restoration of such an object this relationship must be a dedicated one. This relationship when taken to the extreme passes through love on its way to becoming a healthy, even unhealthy obsession, and it is the unease that this scenario creates when viewed from the outside that interests me.
