Using primarily Adobe Indesign CS and Photoshop, my duties also include: laying out columns; assisting with the website; sourcing and assigning interior photography, illustration and cover artwork; designing and laying out colour cover; and handling service bureau and printer issues.
HEALTH INSURANCE COMMISSION OVERSEAS DRUG DIVERSION The Federal Department of Health and Ageing engaged Cultural Perspectives to develop and implement a PBS Community Awareness Campaign to prevent medicines distributed under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme being taken or sent out of the country. The campaign was highly successful in informing and educating audiences about the PBS and safe medicine use. I designed press ads to be placed in all the mainstream national daily newspapers as well as fourteen other languages. The campaign was backed up by brochures, factsheets, postcards and posters displayed in pharmacies and doctors surgeries nationwide and on the internet, as well as ‘eyelights’ at every major airport in Australia. It involved co-ordinating translators,printers, media booking agencies and distributors as well as full design responsiblity.
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH STRENGTHENING MEDICARE In 2004, changes were made to the Australian Public Health system and a nationwide campaign was launched to inform the public of the changes, which included TV and radio campaign and a range of literature - a booklet was sent to every household in Australia, I reproduced the information booklet in 20 languages which was printed and distributed all over the country, and published on the website. There were also four ad runs which I designed ads for in 20 languages for over 100 newspapers.
VICTORIAN GOVERNMENT RACIAL AND RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE ACT When the Victorian Government passed Racial and Religious Tolerance Act, I developed a range of promotional materials for the campaign. The campaign included a number of approaches focusing on a non-English and Indigenous advertising, designed to target youth and employers. I designed the campaign logo, press ads in 10 languages, posters, post cards, folders, factsheets in 21 languages, banners and stickers for distribution state wide in offices, clubs and schools.
AQIS (AUSTRALIAN QUARANTINE INSPECTION SERVICE) The advertising and public relations strategies of the ‘Quarantine Matters!’ campaign were designed to raise awareness of and increase quarantine compliance with Australia’s quarantine system. Working closely with a team of designers from another agency, I implemented the multilingual section of the campaign over 5 years. Work included designing and producing brochures, flyers, posters, key rings and other promotional material, as well as press and magazine ads for distribution to media and airports Australia wide and to overseas travel agencies in up to 15 languages.
WIZARD HOME LOANS When Wizard Home Loans opened a new branch in Chinatown and hired Chinese speaking staff, they were eager to advertise specifically and directly to the local target market in their own language. I designed a range of press ads and advertorials to appear in local Chinese newspapers.
SYDNEY WATER I produced ads in 8 languages for Sydney Water on a monthly basis, as part of their ongoing Water Conservation campaign and also produced their quarterly water quality report for publication on their website.
