AGDA NSW and the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust (Harbour Trust) collaborated in a major student design project in July this year. Project Cockatoo Island engaged tertiary students and industry practitioners in a design process that resulted in the creation of a digital exhibition demonstrating a range of creative interpretations of a specific design brief.
The project’s outcomes were not intended to establish a formal, permanent identity for the island, but rather to create an exhibition that demonstrated the broad and varied interpretations of how a visual identity might be applied to this important Sydney Harbour landmark.
The digital exhibition included the work of all participating students and was presented to the public at d factory on 10 August, at the Powerhouse Museum, during Sydney Design 06.
