Trends and Designers

Agideas had a variety of trends happening but one major trend that seemed to be pushed a lot was collaboration. Many different Designers worked with other designers and not just from the same industry. There were Graphic designers working with photographers, industrial designers, fashion designer etc.

Having the term collaboration helped with networking, getting contacts and finding out new outcomes and experimenting with other sources to come up with fresh, new and original concepts. Also working with other people can help with inspiration and finding out if you have skills in other areas and a part of the trend Collaboration also meant to push yourself further and to find new opportunities.

The National Poster was designed by Marian Bantjes a known designer that creates the detailed and complex patterns. The National Poster was a collaboration between her and the band The National. Marian created this poster By using Black, Flourescent pink and Glow-in-the-dark inks, So the poster that could look one way in daylight, another way in the dark.

I find her work very elegant and unique the way she uses lines and shapes to create such different patterns automatically makes eye follow the pattern right to the end.

Logo Critique


MCG Logo:


Designed by graphic designer Richard Henderson, who has created many known logos for BHP Billiton and Crown.


The MCG logo, Henderson has designed it using shape as its Hierarchy to create the idea of a stadium. Oraganic Line is produced around the oval which gives the logo a more contemporary and modern theme throughout the logo.


I believe the logo has a futuristic and minimalistic theme to it with the geometric and square like typeface and has been design very simple and effective.


The logo is based on the shape of the MCG and has been created to be stylised replica to identify the sports and the stadium.


Personally I see the design is effective and represents everything the it supposed to as it represents sport such as football, cricket and the stadium all in one simple design.

Carlton Football Club Application


The logo mainly using typography the use of serif typeface gives it the authentic,classic and traditional outcome and is created with a well balanced composition and fits perfectly in the centre of the application. The use of simple colours (White & Navy Blue) is giving off the less is more and work quiet effective. Curve formation of the letter C which wraps around shows that the point of reference regards to relating it to football is that Carlton is a team and covers all boundaries.
So again i believe the logo and the application is simple, effective and successful.
