Telling stories of UNESCO World Heritage Willandra Lakes Region
I was thrilled to work with Historian Dr Luke Keogh on a second editorial project, eloquently titled ‘Listen to the Land’.
This 50-page report focuses on the pastoralists in the UNESCO Willandra Lakes Region from 1981–2003. There is a lot of storytelling at play, so wanted it to feel more like a book than a report. Inspired by the history of the content, I used a serif font for the body copy paired with a playful sans serif typeface—together the rounded forms of the sans serif offset the discipline of the serif. The clear structure of the layout allows the story of the pastoralists to speak for itself, supported by images in a flexible grid.
The creative freedom I had for the cover artwork, layout, typography and colour palette was so energising, and seeing it printed on lovely 115gsm Sovereign Offset stock was a wonderful treat to end the year!Click through the slideshow for some photos of my favourite spreads.
