Graphic design in Australia presently finds itself in a period of change, one that is evident in the shift in nomenclature away from ‘graphic design’ and toward ‘communication design’ writes Guest Editor, Brad Haylock. This issue features Dominic Hofstede on Geoff Digby and the role of the art director, Jenny Grigg on David Lancashire and his inventive designs using paper, and Stephen Banham surveys the work of lettering artist Godfrey Fawcett (1928-2003). Essential reading for communication design research, graphic design history in Australia, lettering and paper design studies, and archival scholarship from the RMIT Design Archives.
