Like my previous post this, this one will also be looking at a large scale sporting competition in New Zealand, focusing on the design associated with the event. Many of the below design elements were released two years ago, but with the event approaching I thought it would be nice to look over all the elements.

We marvel at foreign design, look back in history to the Swiss modernist, Russian Constructivist’s, American Post Modernist’s and everything in between but rarely do we look back at New Zealand graphic design

It’s that time of year for the new batch of Graduates to showcase their work. Late nights in the classroom for an opening and gallery like exhibition of work.

Progressive enterprises is to phase out it’s Woolworths and Foodtown Supermarkets in New Zealand over the next five years and put in place a ‘new generation Countdown’. So an update of the Countdown brand was in order.

This exhibition celebrates the work of New Zealand typeface designers in an exquisite collection of large scale typographic posters.

The Church put on another great Semi Permanent event, featuring great speakers.

You’re obviously the wrong person to ask… you’re part of a community of designers who actually want to learn and discuss design. But do the majority of New Zealand designers take an interest in Graphic Design in terms of wanting discussions about design theory, changes in design – or is it just something they do?
