Creative Spaces

Posted By Paul

We have been lucky enough to be working with the Creative Spaces project for the last twelve months.  In that time the scale, scope and potential of the project has grown enormously as more and more support has come on board.  The website was officially launched on the 20th February 2009 by Deputy Lord Mayor Susan Riley at the Boyd School Studios (managed and facilitated by Creative Spaces).

The website itself is a highly customised multi author build of Wordpress.  Racket managed all aspects of the project from infromation architecture through to the graphic design, XHTML & CSS coding and ofcourse the Wordpress build and integration.

Holding Our Tongues

Another interface we produced for the Radio National team:

“Holding our tongues is a Hindsight project about the long and painful task of reviving Aboriginal languages. Find out more…”

Australia has the highest rate of language extinction on the planet: that’s according to UNESCO who says language diversity is—like species diversity—rapidly declining. And once a language is gone, can it really be brought back to life?

The work of Ghostpatrol was recently featured on the ABC program Artscape -  Paper Cuts: The Art Of Ghostpatrol And Miso.  However he has also just completed a feature interview with InFrame.tv which is really worth checking out - they have interviewed a couple of my other favourite artists in the past - Julia DeVille and Shaun Tan.  See below for a selection of Ghostpatrols work.

We also just rebuilt the Ghostpatrol website which you can read about here.

We have just completed a website for Melbourne based artist Ghostpatrol.  Built with Wordpress 2.7.1 as the CMS it also features some pretty seamless integration with Flickr (which the client uses as their image CMS) and an integrated shop for managing all art sales.  Building sites for artists in always an enjoyable process as there is so many image resources to draw from…
