Footy kicked off again last weekend, but it’s hard not to think about AFL State of Origin a few weeks back.
For a lot of fans, it brought back memories of the old interstate rivalries, the Big V (Victoria), the Sandgropers (Western Australia), and teammates suddenly becoming opponents.
The nostalgia is already there. What makes it work now is bringing it back with enough freshness and intent that it connects with people again.

Colourgrind was developed as a multidisciplinary art exhibition in Adelaide, South Australia, supporting The Royal Society for the Blind.
The identity took influence from marbling, using layered colour and motion as the foundation for a visual system that feels expressive and cohesive across signage, print, and digital.
Delivered across strategy, identity, content and collateral, the system was built to support a broad mix of artists and mediums, while keeping the work itself front and centre.

Momentum looks like speed from the outside, but it’s usually clarity on the inside. When direction is set, the creative work has less friction.

Creativity in transit.
Japan for the next few weeks, travelling with the family, soaking in the design culture that’s influenced the world.
Laptop packed. Still creating.
Sometimes the best ideas arrive when you step away for a while, and see things from a different perspective.

Good design matters. It works best when it’s informed by clear intent and direction.

From racing to school for Australia to decoding Olympic symbols today.
Some things never quite leave you.

A lot of our work at DBD is helping businesses decide where they’re heading, so every creative decision has somewhere to land.
