Have seen a link to employment within the design industry on this site before, have not got the time to search for it, thus if anyone who can remember this link can post it up it would be most appreciated! Cheers

PREMIERâ€™S DESIGN AWARDS 2008 â€“ Entries Open

Entries close 5pm 28 April 2008
Winners announced 16 July 2008 at Melbourne Museum

Be recognised as a designer of excellence in Victoria.

The PREMIERâ€™S DESIGN AWARDS are a biennial awards program developed by the Victorian Government to recognise excellence in design practice in Victoria. The awards will be a highlight of the State of Design Festival held in Melbourne and across Victoria from 16 â€“ 24 July 2008.

Assessed by an international and local judging panel, the Premierâ€™s Design Awards have been redeveloped in 2008 to set a new industry standard through the awarding of a series of PREMIERâ€™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.

The 2008 PREMIERâ€™S DESIGN MARKS will be awarded in the following categories:

Industrial / Product Design
Architecture
Interior Design
Graphic Design
Multimedia Design
Landscape Design
Exhibition Design
Set Design
Textile Design
Fashion Design
Hand Made Objects

Submissions for the PREMIERâ€™S DESIGN AWARDS must be within one of the recognised categories of Commercial, Cultural or Self-initiated.

Nominations are also being called for the PREMIERâ€™S AWARD FOR DESIGN LEADERSHIP. The recipient must be an individual who has led Victoria by design, profoundly influencing Victoriaâ€™s design industry. Nominations close 5pm WEDNESDAY 14 MAY 2008.

The recipients of the 2008 Premierâ€™s Design Marks and the Premierâ€™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 Premierâ€™s Design Awards Catalogue and exhibited at Melbourne Museum from 17 July â€“ 3 August 2008 as both a physical record and a method of communicating the ideas and skills of the awarded designers. Opportunities to tour the Premier's Design Awards internationally are being explored.

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."

The building is self-sufficient, runs on wind turbines between each floor.

i dare say there'll be major maintenance costs down the track.

The islands are a nightmare as well apparently.

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.

Actually I read that wrong, Dubai's non-oil sector supplies 93% of the entire Emirates GDP.

ok. i clearly know nothing about dubai.

i dare not enter this thread again.

Iâ€™m one of those artists who really canâ€™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; itâ€™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 Iâ€™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.
