TRAVEL IS THE BEST REVENGE
1. Australia’s total nominal GDP is 1.542 trillion dollars, making it the 12th largest in the world. Its nominal per capita GDP is $65,642 which is the fifth largest in the world. 2. Australia has a very low poverty rate, and a high standard of living. 3. Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Adelaide have all appeared on The Economist’s world most livable cities lists in various years. 4. The real estate market in Australia is booming; however they have some of the highest house prices in the world, and Australians have very high household debt levels. 5. The country’s government is a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy. 6. The main exports of Australia include iron-ore, gold, natural gas and coal. They export most of their products to Japan, China, South Korea, New Zealand and the United States. 7. Australia is also a large exporter of wine. Wine exports contribute over $5.5 billion per year to Australia’s total economy. 8. Most people who live in Australia descend from the British or the Irish because for over 200 years the majority of Australia’s immigrants came from the British Isles. 9. Since WWI, Australia’s population has quadrupled. HANZ OFF • 13

Or, anywhere that you are non-stop hunting for waves or surfing and staying in shitty places. It might be ok for a few days but after a while, they will lose their mind,” says Wilko.

A self-initiated project exploring the beer and wine category. For the brand story we created a fictitious narrative combined with historical facts from the Salem witch trials. From there we built out the brand and product line by integrating the occult theme into all aspects of this case study.
Before production of View From A Blue Moon started, a plan to meticulously document every moment of the process was developed. Renowned photographers were booked for each location and John Florence shot countless rolls of film for his personal collection. When production wrapped, we cataloged nearly 50,000 images from 25 photographers. The end result is a 315-page indepth documentation of the project.
