Another feature site for ABC Radio National:

‘In 2008 the South Australian government launched a regional development initiative focused solely on the arts. Every two years a regional city or town will become the venue for a 12-month program of high art and cultural events involving all of the state-funded performing arts organisations. The first regional centre to experience this bold experiment was the much maligned town of Port Augusta, which sits at the tip of the Spencer Gulf proudly proclaiming itself ‘the crossroads of Australia.’

We have just launched the Radio Australia: Celebrating 70 years website.  Racket was responsible for the information architecture, the design and building the content management system.  Here is a bit more about the project:

“For 70 years Radio Australia has been at the forefront of covering news and current affairs, political and social change and key events in Asia and the Pacific.During this time we’ve built up strong partnerships and provided of English language lessons to generations of listeners.”

On Sunday evening we enjoyed the opening of the recently revamped Circa restaurant which we were lucky enough to do the graphic design for……website to come soon.

We had the pleasure of designing this lovely little book about the humble postcard, written by the hugely talented lady Beth Sometimes and published by Melbourne publisher Affirm Press. While the process had its challenges - our whole family had swine flu for the last week of the project when we were pushing to print - we are really happy with how it turned out and can now finally sit down in our comfy chairs and read it properly.

Some work in progress from our latest field trip with Engaging Visions. We got to run around in some old kilns out in the middle of the forest and up and over a dam wall.

Creative Spaces and the Melbourne City Council have organised the visit of Canadian based organisation Artscape.

“Artscape is Canada’s leader in multi-tenant space development for the arts and culture sector. It is a not-for-profit enterprise that has been engaged in culture-led regeneration efforts since 1986 and has consulted world wide on projects that have made positive cultural, economic, social, and environmental impacts. Artscape has developed a unique capability to work effectively across disciplines to align values, leadership, policy and infrastructure that enable innovation and creativity on the ground.”

We were asked to produce a series of electronic invitations target to different demographics.

We have recently completed a website for Israeli based Australian illustrator Emily Penso.  The design features some of her illustrations and is ofcourse powered by Wordpress.  View the website here.
