Must admit I'm very slow off the mark with this one, but it's too beautiful not to share... wouldn't you agree?
This beautiful paper project is by Melbourne-based graphic designer Suzy Tuxen of A Friend of Mine, and was created for last year's VCE Season of Excellence event - a series of exhibitions staged by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA), to showcase the best creative work produced by VCE students in various fields.
A Friend Of Mine is usually a one-woman show, but for this ambitious project Suzy joined forces with friend and long-time collaborator Ryan Ward (of United Measures!) to create this striking campaign identity and associated print matter. A series of hand-cut, layered dioramas were crafted for each field of study, each one framed within the silhouette of an arm, reflecting the hard work and enthusiasm evident in the students' work. Such a beautiful concept - not to mention razor-sharp execution!
That Ms. Tuxen really is making some amazing work! More pics and other projects on her website.
