Discover More at Stanmore

Pupils returning to Stanmore Public School in Sydney after the Easter break will have a whole new reason to get lost in a good book thanks to Frost* Design’s recent work on their new library.

Working in conjunction with Neeson Murcutt Architects we helped to bring the new library building to life with a series of signage and environmental graphics utilising a bright colour palette and playful typography. Colourful identification signs and a custom-printed recycled carpet tile bring a sense of fun to the library interior, whilst large scale book quotes painted onto an external walkway animate the journey through the playground. Suddenly detention in the library doesn’t seem like such a bad thing…

The biggest Roo in the world*

The biggest Roo in the world*

At Frost* something we love doing is going out to see and review projects as they are coming to life on site. One of our most recent projects, Qantas Hangar 245 at Sydney international Airport was no exception.

Hanger 245 houses one of Qantas’s Boeing 747 aircrafts. The hanger is highly visible from the Terminal lounges and parts of Qantas Boulevard, making it an exciting site to work with.

We eagerly took the opportunity to roll out a new Qantas look and feel and apply this to the doors of the hanger.

Our response conceptually is both prominent and playful. The idea of the hangar doors opening and closing with the famous kangaroo animating was captivating. Being on the tarmac that close to the runway was an amazing experience!  Watch it come to life!

Designing the future

Designing the future

UTS Business School came to Frost* to create a leadership piece that embodies their repositioning based around integrative thinking and creating the next generation of leaders. Our solution came from the heart of their process, which is founded in design thinking. Post it notes integral to their u.lab brainstorming sessions were used to create a hand-crafted typeface and design language. The structure takes an editorial approach, allowing them to communicate on many different levels, and to highlight alumni who are navigating some of Australia’s most influential organisations, as well as well as heroing the School’s Dr Chau Chak Wing Building by Frank Gehry (which we are also designing signage for).

At Frost* we believe in the power of creativity and design thinking in producing success for our clients. So in 2012 we have adopted the statement “Inspiring ideas to life” to embody what motivates us and focuses our team on the unique potential of each and every project. To show our commitment we decided to put the writing on the wall – literally – and to film our studio taking a blank wall and bringing it to life through our collective skills, enthusiasm and creativity.

Mapping With Interest

Mapping With Interest

Super stoked to have been invited to sit on the first year students design panel for the UTS DAB Interior and Spatial program. The nerd in me got even more excited when I was told the brief was to hand render a map of the city but using only a 6H lead pencil, erasing not permitted.

It’s only week 5 and the students are guns a blaze! I was incredibly impressed with the level of thinking and execution.

Reminded me of how great it is get back to basics and the importance of curating content, what about it you are trying to communicate and how it is visualised.

I figured it was only fair that I give this a go. Here are the very beginnings of my map.
