Woldwide Graphic Design : Down Under - Australia & New Zeland

In this new series we\''re presenting contemporary graphic design from different parts of the world. Even though during the last decades globalization seems to have resulted in the different cultures and societies moving closer together, and although communication and cultural exchange has increased, many regional designs still retain distinctive characteristics that reflect their origin. The fourth and latest volume in the series is dedicated to Australia and New Zealand. Thanks to the region\''s proximity to eastern Asia, the predominantly western imagery which most of these designs are firmly rooted in, is enriched by Asian and exotic elements. This combination leads to some rather unexpected and unorthodox results. Thus, "Down Under" is a collection of designs which appear both familiar and strange at the same time. As "Down Under" once again demonstrates, the series "Worldwide graphic Design" is an inspiring visual journey around the world!
