Graduating Exhibition Catalogue concept

My concept for the end of year exhibition and catalogue at The Queensland College of Art in Brisbane Australia.

My rationale:

"OYSTER

“the world is your oyster you are in a position to take the opportunities that life has to offer.”
from Shakespeare’s Merry Wives of Windsor

The oyster as a symbol of what the world is to us now. With an education focused on professional practise and conceptual design ideas, we can take our skills into the workforce – anywhere.

The oyster as a symbol for design – with it’s many forms, distinctive shape and colour, it’s imaginative design to protect and grow – this is what we learn to do at QCA.

This is an original photo I commissioned. Taken by Charlie Hillhouse (QCA photography student).

The inside spread has 20-part grid. The arrangement of images can be changed depending on the designers work. This grid is successful in producing a rhythmic pattern from page to page."
