A pro bono infographic campaign design for the Footscray Traders Association to support local hospitality venues. Text reads:

10 WAYS TO SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL VENUES
Discretionary spending is down and our beloved hospitality venues need support to make it through to the other side! So we’ve come up with some simple and inexpensive ways to help your favourite restaurant, bar, and arts venue...

YOU MATTER (don’t underestimate how important YOU are and what it means to a business when you just show up).
1. Even popping in for one drink or a small meal helps.
2. Be patient if the venue is short staffed.
3. Bring a smile and your positive energy.

HYPE YOUR FAVES (tell a friend about your favourite places, heck - tell the world!!!).
4. Write a review about them.
5. Like their page/profile.
6. Like their social media posts.
7. Share an event that looks good, even if you can’t go.

CELEBRATE (the venue, your friends, your family, your workmates, your community).
8. Buy a gift voucher for your mum’s birthday.
9. Buy a Tshirt for a friend.
10. Hold your catch-ups, events and work functions locally.

Yes times are tough but the Footscray community is special and we’re gonna make it through together. We’ve done it before and we’ll do it again!

And I love that the business is clearly thriving ❤️ A designer’s work is often ephemeral so when it lasts (especially when you can see it in your community) it’s very special. Pics by and

In some very exciting news, the Hide + Seek Music Festival - which we designed the branding and visual communication for - has won the award for Creativity and Culture at the National Awards for Local Government. Congratulations to the team at Moorabool Shire, particularly the visionary Bec Carey-Grieve. It was such a pleasure to work with them on this project and we couldn’t be more proud to be involved. This brand new festival is such a boon for and credit to the local community, and will only go from strength to strength.
