-
Iconic Modern Australian Houses features a selection of writings and documentation of Australian mid-century houses. The typography-led internal layout is designed to act as a structured canvas promoting readability for essays, photography and sketches. The cover aims to strike the perfect of balance of desirability and commerciality. In that sense, the designer has explored a visually appealing expression of one of the house. Turning photography into graphic and printing using 2 metallic inks on PLC and grain embossing ensure efficiency in budget without compromising result.
