The story and project details of the 2011 VCE Season of Excellence are a part of the Viscomm: A Guide to Visual Communication Design, a textbook for classrooms.
The studio is known in the design industry and has been nominated and won several awards. Voted as Australia’s Top 4 Art Directors, by Desktop Magazine Peer Review, in 2014; finalists at Premier’s Design Awards for Supergraph and runner up in the Australia-wide Qantas SOYA Award for Communication
