The vision from down under

Article Abstract:

John Nowland has turned graphic design into a respected and praised craft in Australia, and the success of his firm has spurred others competing for the prizes he has won. He speculates that the designer's most complicated work comes in translating their design ideas into a form that the clients can comprehend with ease. He praises formal aesthetics, effective communication, ecological materials, and innovation in his and others' work.
