FOREWORD Design, as taught in art colleges and universities, perpetually runs the risk of being misunderstood and misconceived. Since its first conception as a product of art education, it has commonly been cast as the commercial offspring of ‘pure’ art, the potential money-spinner. But such an impoverished view of what might be the world’s second-oldest profession deserves to be rectified. The founder of our new Bachelor of Design Futures, Professor Tony Fry, frequently describes design as a ‘primordial’ act, dating it back to the first tool shaped out of a piece of rock. In a world in which problems are too complex to be solved by one discipline alone, design provides a trans-disciplinary approach, a meta-level of thinking that asks ‘why?’ as well as ‘how?’. Some of the design work and processes described in this year’s catalogue clearly manifest such meta-level thinking. There are projects that reflect a growing interest in bridging the divide between practical skills and theory by taking the design studio into the world. For example, a proposal for the King George Square car park arose from a collaboration between the Queensland College of Art (QCA), Griffith University, and the Brisbane City Council to look at Brisbane’s less-travelled and forgotten places with an aim to make a richer, more walkable urban fabric in the CBD. Other projects look to retrofit on a smaller scale; for instance, imaginatively reusing electronic waste to make a chessboard. This exemplar emerged from an ongoing collaboration between QCA and the Queensland Museum to develop an ongoing exhibition in its INVENTory space that explored the growing problems of e-waste. There are also projects that aim to redirect practice, and develop imaginative ways of challenging orthodoxy. In
the visual-communication design section one finds animated forms of typography that embody a critique of social media, or the use of data moshing and glitching as design methods; among the interior-design examples are the challenges of designing small footprint residences, or rethinking urban space; and a striking example among the product design is a system for growing nutritious foods in refugee camps. Back in 1969, Norman Potter ended his famous essay “What Is a Designer?” with some leading questions that have remained relevant: “Does design work justify its claims to social usefulness or is it a privileged form of self expression? Is a profession a genteel self-protection society with some necessary illusions? Should a designer be a conformist or an agent of change?” (Potter 1969, 14). These are the kinds of complex and uncomfortable questions QCA Design students have explored in their work on display here, and that they will continue to explore as they enter the worlds of design practice, whether via conventional or unconventional routes. But I’m also happy to see that equally evident in the work in this catalogue is a commitment to thinking through making, to the belief and intuition that experimenting with form and materiality—be it through brush lettering, broken keyboards, or code—is at the heart of a twenty-firstcentury design education. It is only by bringing critical thinking to the practical, technical, and systemic skills of design that we can hope to produce designers who are, as Potter put it, “agents of change”.

Ashton Anderson Visual Communication Design ashton.anderson @griffithuni.edu.au 0411 424 603 I am a freelance graphic designer who aims to help organisations, both not-forprofit and commercial, reach their objective through utilising my experience in the university setting and several years in the workforce. With over five years’ experience as a fully qualified wood machinist, I have a keen eye for detail, and the ability to demonstrate critical thinking. In addition, I have a strong ethical stance on sustainable design and wish to continue making a difference.

Sarah Butler Visual Communication Design sarah.butler3@griffithuni.edu.au 0400 519 715 Within my work, I combine both physical and digital mediums, including handlettered typography and ink and watercolours. I enjoy experimenting with photography, which can often be seen in my projects.
10
Bianca Cassaniti Visual Communication Design biancacassaniti.com hello@biancacassaniti.com (07) 3350 2048 I believe that design is a powerful tool for communication and has the potential to make a lasting impression if effectively executed. It is my goal therefore to create design solutions that communicate messages by going beyond aesthetics and blending them with reason and intent.
11
Emily Collett Visual Communication Design emilycollett.com emily.collett@hotmail.com 0455 032 992 As a designer and a graduating student, I have many decisions that I need to make. My past and present decisions that I have made so far have influenced who I am. My zine, Intuition, takes the reader on a journey that graduating designers could be taking when they finish. It focuses on using your head, heart, and your gut to make these life-changing decisions.
12
Sarah Collins Visual Communication behance.net/Sarahpatricia sarahpatricia.collins@gmail.com 0481 167 118 I am passionate about combining traditional techniques, such as drawing and print media, with digital design. My first work is a series of book covers that were created to reflect the writing style of the classic children’s book author, Beatrix Potter. My second work displays a self-reflective visual narrative through the form of a zine, describing my design process as a cycle of emotion, particularly exposing my experience with anxiety.
13
Janna Crellin Visual Communication Design tangiblestudios.com crellinjanna@gmail.com 0410 442 722 I am a mixed media creative and enjoy experimenting with hands-on techniques. My work has a certain playfulness to it. I enjoy creating cute character pieces and believe this is one of my strengths. The Design Futures part of this degree has allowed me to think of design as having a real purpose in creating change. I am currently working with a not-for-profit organisation and would love to continue with similar projects in the future.
14
Tamati Currie Visual Communication Design tamaticurrie.com tamati.currie@gmail.com 0431 136 878 My trademark is no-nonsense design that executes, engages, and submerges. On display are my abilities to conceptualise and produce clean design through information visualisation, branding, typography, and manipulation.Potentially Habitable Exoplanets is a large-format infographic poster that visualises data gathered observing exoplanetary star systems. AsBIC is a custom logotype derived from a grid based on enzyme structure maps. Declutter juxtaposes junk against a clean surface, being funnelled out of existence by a vortex.
15
Madeline Daly Visual Communication Design maddiedalydesign@gmail.com 0401 636 353 the “urban� space is largely based on the writing of academics who critique the notion of urban development, cartography, and the idea of public and private. As a design thinker, I believe it is imperative to tackle design from a critical standpoint, resulting in deeply considered outcomes that encourage dialogue and change.
16
Jasmine Dowling Visual Communication Design jasminedowling.com jasminedowling@live.com I am a twenty-two-year-old brush letterer and graphic designer based in Brisbane. While completing my Bachelor of Visual Communication Design, I picked up a brush and some ink and started along my lettering adventure. Since then, I’ve been able to work with brands like Universal Store, JAG, Wittner Shoes, Skinny Cow Australia and Belle magazine.
17
Caroline Evans Visual Communication Design carolinewevans.com caroline.evans@griffithuni.edu.au 0438 810 983 I created this design while interning at the QCA’s Liveworm Studio. It was part of a concept for a book of recipes and stories from women at a refuge. The client asked for the design to be bright and colourful and to feel organic and humble; to reflect the positive tone of the book. I attempted to convey this through my illustration style.
18
Brendan Fearn Visual Communication Design brendanfearn.com.au brendan.fearn@griffithuni.edu.au 0435 910 360 I am a visual communicator with a passion for socially responsible design practices. I have a large repertoire of technical skills, in addition to being detail orientated.
19
Rosie Gardner Visual Communication Design rosie_gardner@live.com (07) 3371 7061 I am a Brisbane-based creative, who is always tweaking and dabbling with new techniques. I will never settle until my hands are dirty and there is a sprinkle of glitter trailed throughout the house. I am grateful for my time at QCA; in particular, my placement at Liveworm, which uncovered an unexpected love for logo design.
20
Ebony Harrison Visual Communication Design thebonecollector.com.au hello@thebonecollector.com.au My work specialises in the marriage of critical thinking and research within design practice. It is concerned with intercultural understanding and explores “Otherness” through my experience as an Anglo-Indian in a White Australian context. The visual language I use to represent this is “datamoshing” or “glitching”—a process of breaking files to assert awareness of digital systems— that negotiates spaces between cultures by challenging the terms of the conversation. Shown are images from my 2014 video project, #iggymosh.
21
Hannah Headrick Visual Communication Design behance.net/hannahheadrick hannah.s.headrick@gmail.com 0416 272 050 Through my studies at QCA, I feel more empowered than ever that design is not the problem, but part of the solution to the many maladies in the world. After I graduate, I would love to travel and collaborate with communities around the world and use my skills and knowledge to aid in the communication of important social and environmental issues.
22
Rosalie Hinz Visual Communication Design rosy.hinz@live.com 0410 042 811 I am a multidisciplinary designer from Brisbane. My heart lies with illustration, fine point pens and Reality TV. My dream is to find a job that showcases illustration within design, as well as to broaden and improve my knowledge and skills in the industry.
23
Ben Hislop Visual Communication Design hislop-projects@hotmail.com (07) 3366 2152 Wing It! In my life, this has ranged from everyday tasks to the less frequent. I’ve tied this into aspects of my personality, quirks, routine, as well as the history that has shaped me as a person. I intended to keep ‘Winging It’ by using new mediums. With a strong intention to veer away from what is considered a traditional publication, I instead challenged the idea of a zine and what it can be.
24
Isabel Hood Visual Communication Design izzy.hood@hotmail.com 0451 051 090 This work is a response to several experiences where I forced myself to go beyond my comfort zone. The medium of a zine allowed me to explore my responses to these situations. Studies show that creativity is intensified when we try new things. I believe that by constantly challenging myself with these new experiences, my creativity is enhanced and I can problem solve with not only more creativity but also experience.
25
Grace Houghton Visual Communication Design gracehoughton.com 0400 011 171 I’m a visual communication designer, but also a critical thinker who endeavours to produce relevant and responsible design. To design is about linking people with ideas, objects, environments and causes. Design is nothing without the people who interact with it. Every project I undertake revolves heavily around in depth market and social research, which heavily dictates my visual outcomes. I am particularly interested in socially responsive design and design for change, though I am passionate about all forms of design.
26
Sai Karlen Visual Communication Design saikarlen.com sai.n.karlen@gmail.com 0406 971 388 My zine concept was to illustrate the various issues and annoyances I have encountered working as a designer, which have altered my world view. Panic refers to a conglomeration of my concerns, such as impending deadlines, deceptive practices, and information censorship. The zine is an exploration of design interaction in the creation of narratives. It uncovers underlying social contexts and provides critical commentary on stylistic practices and current design conventions, examining design as comprising codes.
27
Stephen Kolesaric Visual Communication Design stephenkolesaric.com kolesaric.s@gmail.com 0409 080 535 I am a creative young professional with passion and ambition that drive my love for visual communication design. My experience in the print industry along with my eager attitude towards new digital mediums is pivotal to every brief I work on. I am a perfectionist who will not rest until the highest level of quality is achieved.
28
Emma Lane Visual Communication Design behance.net/emma_lane emma.lane94@live.com 0448 852 564 After three years of studying Visual Communication Design at QCA, I’ve developed my own visual style. I’m passionate about visual communication and appreciate the details as well as the effort that go into all design. I’m ambitious to expand my knowledge of design and the world through professional experiences and travel.
29
Ho Yan Lui Visual Communication Design behance.net/HYLui luihoyan2@hotmail.com 0434 291 779 I was born and raised in Hong Kong, and arrived in Australia eight years ago. I started my degree with a lot of questions about design, and, now that I am about to graduate, I have even more unanswered questions. I am constantly trying to push the boundaries of design. Rather than focusing on the superficial visual representation of design, I am more interested in designs that can have a relationship with people.

Joel Matheson Visual Communication Design joel-matheson.com facebook.com/designbyjoel joelanthonymatheson@gmail.com 0478 564 129 Hello! My name is Joel. My key influences are Jan Van Toorn, Rick Poynor, Jonathan Barnbrook, Barry McGee, and Frank Stella. They inspire me to stay conscious, critical, and keep my head up as a designer, to engage audiences in the “space between value and experience� (Toorn), as well as experiment and take on an inventive approach to my work. I specialise in and will forever be learning about typography, illustration, and brand identities.
31
Ali Newbury Visual Communication Design alinewbury.com hello@alinewbury.com AUS: +61 401 094 882 USA: +1 (312) 375 4546 I’m Ali Newbury, a graphic designer, maker and illustrator. Hailing from a country town in Queensland, I will be based in Chicago, USA, from 2015. I’m a creator, painter and maker at heart, and I crave getting my hands dirty. I believe that design should engage with audiences, solve problems, and create opportunities for the new and unexpected. I value the detail in everything. I’m inspired by clean layouts, the layering of physical and digital mediums, and inject colour into everything that I do.
32
Angie Ng Visual Communication Design ooldesign.com angie.ooldesign@gmail.com 0434 595 848 Hello world! I speak multiple languages and I like to mix them up altogether. I speak all of them so well that you can’t really tear them apart, otherwise the essence will be lost. What languages do I speak? The design and the coding language.
33
Alina Riggs Visual Communication Design alina.riggs@hotmail.com 0412 489 901 Defining who I am as a designer is not based on prospective job titles or an expression of my strengths, but an acknowledgement of my continual progression of learning and adapting. The featured works show my development from aesthetic-based outcomes towards presenting socially responsible, interconnected ideas as represented in the tags that aim to recode the purchasing behaviour of clothing. I’m excited to combine my passion for design with marketing to create positive changes within society.
34
Marisha Seneviratne Visual Communication Design marishasene.com marisha_94@hotmail.com 0430 240 129 My zine acts as a visual narrative, showcasing the major life events that influenced me as a designer. It depicts how I first got into art, my parents’ influence on me, as well as my hopes for the future as a young designer. Stylistically, it pays tribute to the major influence that Gorillaz and Jamie Hewlett had on my drawing and illustrative style at a young age.
35
Lechae Smith Visual Communication Design chaecreative.com.au lechaesmith@gmail.com 0410 898 559 ecco is a market style opportunity shop, providing a safe space for the homeless to offer their services or sell goods. The logo is the embodiment of a not-for-profit organisation that provides the connections people need to grow to improve their quality of life. The ecco identity is all about community growth, evolution in humanity, and closing the gaps of society.

Corey Walker Visual Communication Design CW-Creative.com.au s2844530@griffithuni.edu.au 0478 060 310 Education as a Commodity is a typographic motion-design outcome, arguing through Aristotle’s Rhetoric the bias toward industry and employment within education systems. As social media can encourage stalking and the portrayal of dishonest personas, Stalkthentic is a brand that counters this idea to form a critique of social media. The animated typeface Identity explores the design of lettering parallel to our personality. Our identity is influenced from those around us, as are these glyphs.
37
Felicity Walsh Visual Communication Design kneauwhaus.com design@kneauwhaus.com 0458 311 303 I have always been a designer. I am a naturally creative, analytical, and critical thinker. My passions include creating, investigating, and learning. Design research, process, and outcome hold equal importance to me. Although I’ve always been drawn to the aesthetic facet of design, more recently I’ve been seduced and engaged by the intellectual and directional aspects of design futures. I look forward to developing my knowledge and skills to practice as an interdisciplinary designer.
38
Angela Webb Visual Communication Design angiewebbdesign.com angela.webb@uqconnect.edu.au 0411 369 503 I am a visual communication designer who enjoys creating fun and vibrant designs that have a positive and meaningful impact on society. My anti-diamond poster series was designed to raise public awareness of the eco-unfriendly and socially unjust aspects of diamonds. My toothbrush package design is a sustainable alternative to current packaging. It is smaller, lighter, recyclable, and can biodegrade in landfill. It was designed to improve user experience and shelf presence.
39
Kirri Webb Visual Communication Design kirrance.com kirrance@gmail.com 0416 117 409 They asked me to write seventy-five words describing myself—but how can you sum up a personality in a paragraph? All I know is I want to keep learning, moving, and sink my teeth into more doughnuts.

Alexandra Woods Visual Communication Design alexjadedesign.com alexjadewoods@hotmail.com +61 413 442 340 This assignment explored the basic conceptual and practical uses of the typographic grid through repositioning a magazine to suit a particular demographic. Motley magazine was the result of several articles found in women’s magazines and is twenty-four pages in length. The magazine aims to employ type as a focal aesthetic point. It is colourful, energetic and fresh, aiming to target a younger generation of readers.
41
Jaak Alexander Wright Visual Communication Design jaakwright@gmail.com 0432 496 536 The brief for this project was to create a non-mainstream publication that reflected on who we are individually as designers, and the type of styles we use. My booklet was made from recycled paper and reflected on how, as designers, we can have fun and be proud of the work we create. Each designer is an individual and can achieve anything if they set their mind to it.
42
Jing Yu Visual Communication Design facebook.com/pages/Jing-YuJane/484038151725105 yujing0806@gmail.com 0450 126 226 I like art and design, and wish to express myself and communicate with people through my work. I initially draw my designs and then use software, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign, to complete them. My goal is to be a creative and specialist designer who combines traditional Chinese painting elements with modern design.

PRODUCT DESIGN
46
Paul Bardini Product Design paulbardini.com paulbardinidesign@gmail.com 0416 201 516 Product design is far more than the aesthetic; we should focus on human-centred design and take responsibility for creating the artefacts of the world. These two product design projects have come from different methodologies. The Bamboo Lamp shows the use of sustainable materials utilising a simplistic approach in manufacturing. The Sprout addresses nutritional problems in refugee camps, giving people with no external resources the ability to harvest their own living food.
47
Callum Burgess Product Design callumburgess.com callumjamesburgess@gmail.com 0433 607 135 After years of designing in my parents’ garage and stealing tools from my father, I decided to turn my childhood passion into a career. My desire for product design has led to a career in which I am both passionate and inspired to re-develop the world we live in. I am actively trying to connect and explore different facets of design; this is evident through my internships both with local and international businesses.
48
Michaela Hogan Product Design michaela-hogan.wix.com/ creative-jest michaela.hogan@griffithuni.edu.au 0432 740 141 Design is about communication. Through the use of concept drawings, 3D modelling and prototype products can be communicated in different ways. Elements that might be communicated could be materials, colour, shape, branding and much more. In this, the process towards a product is just as important as the product itself.
49
Nathan Jalovec Product Design behance.net/jalovecdesigns nathanjalovec@gmail.com 0423 836 794 Society is becoming ever more advanced within design, sciences, and technologies. My design work focuses on what is sometimes forgotten—us, the people. Our needs and their fulfilment are what motivates me in creating innovative solutions. This design illustrates my philosophy of contributing to an essential human need, food. With the use of an online platform, it is easier to identify who is in need of food locally and sharing your personal resources.

Amilia Wallace Interior Design amilia.wallace@gmail.com 0417 646 694 I think it is important, in an age of such rapid production and waste, to harness the creativity and innovation we have been taught in our degree to help buck the trend of ‘new is better’. By re-purposing or revamping a space such as the King George Square car park, we can breathe new life into an existing area and give back to the community without unnecessary demolition and fabrication.

Emma WIlliams Interior Design emma.k.williams@outlook.com 0459 712 272 The brief for this project was to design an office fit out for five sustainable design practitioners in Brisbane’s CBD. The inspiration for my design came from the city skyline views visible from the site, and the mixture of structural forms throughout the city. The space is made up, entirely of portable joinery pieces that can be disassembled and moved for reuse.
