Chris Doyle, Chris Maclean and I will be giving an AGDA lecture on the plight of the modern brand designer. The talk will be at Australian Museum in Sydney, on Monday 6th of September (a week this Monday). Tickets are available on the AGDA website, $30 for members and students, $55 for none members. The poster (below) pokes fun at some of the criticism designers are exposed to in this newly connected world. Kindly designed by Paul at Naughty Fish.
