Re:collection, an online archive of Australian graphic design, 1960-1980:
The project was borne out of frustration at the lack of Australian graphic design reference material available… [Rick] Poynor attributes the deficiency to ‘a tendency for Australian design to underplay itself,’ a modesty that would be understandable if there was, in fact, nothing worthy of acknowledgment. It is my hope and aim that visitors to this site will appreciate that this is not the case.
Fantastic stuff, from the black-on-brown photos of Tomorrow’s Canberra and the “audacious” grey spreads in this Leger catalogue, to the colour and geometry in these Ducats milk cartons and Decor brochures. [via]
