Assessed by an international and local judging panel, the Premier’s Design Awards have been redeveloped in 2008 to set a new industry standard through the awarding of a series of PREMIER’S DESIGN MARKS. These Marks will reward designers and practices that have developed their skills and their creative processes to respond to the new more demanding market conditions, producing exemplary approaches and outcomes that are perceived by the profession, clients and the community as a contribution to a sustainable future.

Hand Made Objects
Submissions for the PREMIER’S DESIGN AWARDS must be within one of the recognised categories of Commercial, Cultural or Self-initiated.
Nominations are also being called for the PREMIER’S AWARD FOR DESIGN LEADERSHIP. The recipient must be an individual who has led Victoria by design, profoundly influencing Victoria’s design industry. Nominations close 5pm WEDNESDAY 14 MAY 2008.
The recipients of the 2008 Premier’s Design Marks and the Premier’s Award for Design Leadership will be announced at the State of Design Festival opening, Wednesday 16 July 2008, at the Melbourne Museum. Winning projects will be published in the official 2008 Premier’s Design Awards Catalogue and exhibited at Melbourne Museum from 17 July – 3 August 2008 as both a physical record and a method of communicating the ideas and skills of the awarded designers.

oh i LOVE that pulp fiction shelf! awesome
pieces of eight gallery at fitz have wicked shit :
laura di florio
This body of work is part of my continuing exploration into the elusive nature of time and transition.
I am inspired by the idea of finding beauty in the everyday environment. Using photography, Perspex, printmaking techniques and glass, disparate transparent images are layered and hidden, stacked together to create intimate atmospheric spaces. Underlying all of this are ideas of romance, the inherent beauty of the landscape, longing, anxiety, boredom, memory and loss.
And, a belief that memory has no fact, nor fiction."

Anyway, about local design... anyone realise that the building of sagrada familia is actaully been aided in no small part by computer modelling done in Melbourne...

Oil only accounts for 7% of their GDP.. so I doubt they are going to have too many issues when they run out of oil in ten to twenty years time.witty_pseudonym wrote:i dare say there'll be major maintenance costs down the track.
mr. logic.
Actually I read that wrong, Dubai's non-oil sector supplies 93% of the entire Emirates GDP.

I’m one of those artists who really can’t decide whether to prefer a rerun of an obscure SF show or a trip to the old masters gallery; give me an opportunity however to watch slimy B-movie creatures on a backdrop of Bosch and Brueghel and I jump at the occasion. I have always been drawn to crossover art; it’s just too much fun exploring the borderlines of things.
Currently I am exploring the merging points between religious icon art, renaissance painting and comic culture. I am particularly thrilled by the kind of spiritual terror you find expressed in the paintings of the old Flemish masters, and I’m trying to find out what happens when you apply that mood to the serene and harmless world of rural folk art. On top of that I am also rediscovering drawing at the moment.
I am based in Hamburg, Germany, but my stuff has also been shown in such diverse places as Estonia, New York, Paris, Saint Petersburg, Sacramento and San Diego. When not busy with art or media work, I can usually be found painting pictures with my 7-year-old-son.
