20's graphics for NYE in Melbourne


Did you see this ad on the back of the 'M Magazine' in the Sunday Age on the weekend...? Must admit I am usually not the biggest fan of art deco styling (shock horror!) but I do love these graphics! The bold geometric shapes and faceted diamond in the centre especially... it's a really attention-grabbing design.

I don't, however, have $355 (or $600!) to spend on New Years Eve so unfortunately this was little wasted on me :) (actually, the more current info on the website is promoting tickets at $100 so perhaps not too excessive if you're up for a posh NYE in Melbourne!). For more info try here.

  1. See, that would have caught my attention - even more so because I got The House of Elliott on DVD for Christmas and am up to episode nine of the first series. Love, love, love 1920s fashion.

  3. Hey miss Crackernuts.. thanks again for your comment :) I used to absolutely love House of Elliot when it was on TV! Beautiful styling... Evie was my favourite!

    Great theme for a party I must admit.

    Imogen thanks also for your comment... I agree the colours are surprising but they did work quite well in the print version :)

    I was trying to figure out who designed these graphics but no joy! sorry!

  4. I saw this ad to and like you am not usually a fan of the retro, but maybe because there hasn't been too much around recently I did take a moment to read it... but I must admit the $355 and $600 price tags went beyond my NYE budget. Instead we had a great 'free' family night at Fed Sqre.

  5. All those hefty fees must be going to fund that rather brilliant ad. ;D

  6. Hey Suzie thanks so much for letting me know! I loved this ad and couldn't find out who designed it anywhere! :)

    I'll update the post if the designed wants me to add her name :)
