A ride thru Oz at September greenUps

  • A ride thru Oz at September greenUps

On 7 September greenUps is once again celebrating the humble bicycle. And for good reason too. In one hit they help address climate change, peak oil, air pollution, noise pollution, traffic congestion, health and obesity issues, not to mention make the city a better place to live.

When: Tuesday 7th September, 6:00pm
Where: Oscar’s Lounge Bar, 84 Union Street, Pyrmont (from the city it’s a short pedal across Pyrmont Bridge)

On the night, we’ll be giving away a new bike (courtesy of the City of Sydney), valet parking (thanks to Bike Sydney), tune ups (by Bicycology), and films (from the Bicycle Film Festival). Note that you don’t have to be a cyclist to come and enjoy this event. It’s still about drinks and networking as usual!

The experiment that shocked the world

  • The experiment that shocked the world

In an AGDA talk last year titled “How can Graphic Design help save the planet?”, I posited that design has the potential to be such a powerful influence on society because it deals with the creation of context and our environment.

Considered clay

  • Considered clay

The coolest piece of direct mail ever showed up on my desk the other week. A noodle box with a block of Fimo modelling clay was held within with a call to make something that represented our design approach plus a return address label and stamps to post it. How could we resist?!
