Let’s have a threesome!

Threesome is a typographic exhibition marking the third birthday of The Design Kids,
an online platform supporting Australian graphic design talent. The Design Kids invited creative geniuses from all round Australia to collaborate with students and recent graduates in what was called a “typographic treasure hunt”.

The exhibition travelled from Brisbane – Sydney – Melbourne – Adelaide and ended in Perth. Nearly 300 artworks were submitted. The brief was to collaboratively create a typographic artwork containing three words of the teams choosing. This was then pasted or mounted up in a specified area of the city where the exhibition took place, a map was released to the public and the typographic treasure hunt could begin.

We asked the founder of The Design Kids Frankie Ratford
what the highlight of the exhibition were for her.

“Pretty excited to see people take the brief and run with it!
The Hungry Workshop created a website where you can find your own type and explore your own city through typography on alphagram.net, Creative Method did a 3D double artwork,
Seesaw used fluro printed tape and three real bikes through Melbourne city, End of Work an amazing sculptural piece
and Block Branding created giant type on a fence for all to see. There’s many more and I can’t thank the designers enough
for the amazing effort, work and making time to work
with students and grads. “

The exhibition also included the likes of Studio Hunt&Co, Hofstede, Studio Brave, Motherbird and Southsouthwest to name a few.
