Canberra-based designer, author, and publisher David Whitbread’s third edition of The Design Manual has been shortlisted in the Designers Australia Awards.
Shortlisted in the ‘Interact’ category, the new 680-page edition, which consists of 345 illustrations and 52 checklists, covers design basics through to advanced concepts, from student to studio. It looks at design in all media, processes, techniques, at environmental impact, ethics, accessibility and beauty, with diverse opinions quoted.
The third edition of The Design Manual is available now. It has a recommended retail price of $79 and can be purchased via www.TheDesignManual.com.
Sprinter subscribers can enter a discount code, PRINT23, to buy it for $75 (which includes postage and handling).
Industry-first Designers Australia Awards, backed by the Design Institute of Australia (DIA), identify Australia’s preeminent designers and studios, calling attention to the individual/s and their design processes as much as the outcome.
According to the DIA, the Designers Australia Awards differ in their categories and criteria from other awards.
Reflecting a trend toward multi-disciplinary approaches and problem-solving, they recognise the most nuanced design thinking applied across the categories ‘Place’, ‘Use’, ‘Interact’, and dissolve the traditional silos.
Award of Merit Celebrations to honour the shortlisted entries and Awards of Merit recipients will be held on 31 August at 6pm at Brickworks Studios in Adelaide, Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
