THEME

CLEAN / STRONG / INFORMATIVE

Each exhibition was specifically designed for the space, honouring the historical context of each venue.

The defining aspect of presenting this important part of history was the juxtaposition of key images with concise informative text to engage a large audience demographic in Australia and South Africa.

Keeping the design clean and strong was an essential element of the design strategy, alongside a clear objective to inform and educate.

“Due to the highly political nature of the project and diplomatic sensitivities, designing each exhibition was extremely challenging on many levels.

Julia is excellent at time management and is able to cope with the pressure of delivering the product within all budgetary and statutory constraints while bringing a fresh and creative approach to the work.

Her good natured demeanor and ability to deal with clients respectfully makes her a great team player.” – Angus Leendertz
