Melbourne Design Awards 2012

The Melbourne Design Awards represent the diversity and culture of the Melbourne design industry.

Melbourne as a recognised global design city, features both local and international design activity, and the shortlisted entries represent an annual snapshot of the sophisticated design culture in the Melbourne marketplace.

Already in the short history of the Awards, we've seen the entries from the top 50 designers in Melbourne and this years' program gives another opportunity for professional designers, design commissioners and brand managers to have their design works recognised.

Join us for a celebration of the people that create and commission design, and who promote and engage in all aspects of design.

Presented by design100.

In the main, the public realm of cities is made up of its streets, and as such the realization that if you design good streets you will end up designing good cities.

Thoughts shared by Richard Henderson at 2012 Melbourne Design Awards launch

As price, product and service converge into sameness, how brands distinguish themselves becomes critical.

To be seen is one thing, to have an authentic brand story that encourages rewarding relationship with customers requires messages that inform and motivate. Bringing the story to life requires design to maximise the desired customer experience - be it a product, a package, a service, or a destination.
