The National Institute of Dramatic Art is a national education and training organisation for the performing arts in Australia, and is responsible for developing the talents of some of the country’s biggest stars. With the continued democratisation of performance through digital platforms such as Youtube, and concerns that this had the potential to undermine NIDA’s conservatoire approach, NIDA pursues a technical mastery as a way to preserve a high standard of education.
NIDA looked to design studio Maud to help redesign its visual identity system in a way that help a world-renowned organisation maintain its international presence, prominence and authority within an increasingly accessible field, and broaden its appeal beyond the dramatic arts to include performance skills across a wide range of industries. The project included logotype, signage, prospectus, business cards, brand guidelines and brochure.

Austin Fraser is a UK information technology and engineering recruitment specialist with an open and transparent business practice.

This went on to include a monogram, logotype, brand guidelines, website, interior graphics and employee handbook.

Milk Lab is a 100% pure milk dessert, flake and roll cake restaurant located in the South Korean city of Busan. The restaurant’s visual identity, designed by Studio fnt, conveys some of the chill and smoothness of its desserts through the rounded terminals of a slab serif logotype, its container, similarly styled monolinear icons, icy photography and a milky pastel colour palette, and pairs these with the character and distinction of some well-rendered creative lab and milk-based illustrative work by Tap Tap Tap. Together, image and type set a light and playful quality as framed artwork on the walls and decals across the windows to the mornder black and white interior space created by FHHH Friends and some simple signage. The project also included a range of illustrated menus, postcards, takeaway packaging and posters.
