In last week's archival delve, I mentioned my reluctance to be categorized as a 'Graphic designer', because I was not formally trained in that branch of art. Prior to 2000, the
Telecommunications Journal of Australia was a +/- 80 page tome published on glossy A4 stock with full-colour cover and some use of colour spot art throughout. However, any sign of 'graphic design' was virtually non-existent. The cover comprised the mast-head in heavy black typeface on a white background above a black-bordered 175 x 210mm rectangle intended to contain a full-colour illustrative lead to the main theme of the mag. edition.
Below are some examples of my first-ever attempts at graphic illustration (as distinct from cartoons). Also for the first time, I began playing with
display type-faces which had dwealt un-used on my computer(s) since I originally ventured into their use in 1995.
