Links to Learning is a targeted program implemented by the NSW Department of Education and Communities to improve outcomes for young people and focuses on effective transitions for at risk young people. Trigger was commissioned to create the visual identity for this program, and met with young people involved in the program, in Redfern and Liverpool, to gain a better understanding of their different situations and experiences. The design of the visual identity was based on analysis of these meeting outcomes. The visual identity references vernacular typography created by program participants and utilises a bold colour palette with particular appeal to young Aboriginal people.

Trigger designed promotional and event brand and associated collateral for the NSW Training Awards. This included print material mainly, art direction for the Department’s in-house web team and for motion graphics at the actual event.

The Training Awards are an initiative by the New South Wales Department of Education and Training and seek to recognise the best students, employees, employers and organisations in the vocational education and training sector. In 2006 the Trigger redirected the strategy of the brand to promote the ‘recognition’ that can be achieved via the Training Awards as its most effective selling point. Strong, confident portraits of previous award winners are used in the campaign to create a direct connection for prospective award applicants and promote the benefits of entering the awards. An abstract star motif was used across all event collateral.

The Training Awards are an initiative by the New South Wales Department of Education and Training and seek to recognise the best students, employees, employers and organisations in the vocational education and training sector. As such the brief for this event’s brand direction and identity was to incorporate a ‘star’ motif. In 2004 the star is visually interpreted as the dynamic form of light in motion.

The New South Wales Department of Education and Training required a distinctive look and feel for a series of information packages for those involved in vocational training called ‘Pathways to Success’. As well as a visual identity for brochures and for use on the department’s website, Trigger designed a concertina card that folds to resemble a credit card and can be compactly stored by trainees so that essential information was always physically at hand. The Department applied this visual identity across a range of other ‘Pathways to Success’ collateral.

The NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH), National Parks and Wildlife Service commissioned Trigger as interpretation planner for the La Perouse Headland and Bare Island precinct, a much beloved Sydney metropolitan site in the Kamay Botany Bay National Park in metropolitan Sydney. The final plan, to be released in late 2011, will be used as a template for thoughtful, respectful and appropriate tangible and intangible interpretive interventions to underline the important natural, cultural and spiritual significance of this place. Key features such as the unique landscape, the La Perouse Museum, Pere Receveur’s tomb, the La Perouse Monument, the Macquarie Watchtower and Bare Island will be enhanced through sensitive landscape design and architectural invigoration. Interpretation will be improved with innovative exhibition concepts, media, programs and activities. Trigger partners with Toland Architects, Context Landscape Design and heritage consultants Godden Mackay Logan to realise this Interpretation Plan.

Yanga was an iconic pastoral station, known across the Riverina district from the 1850s. The property was the largest freehold title in Australia before it was purchased by the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) in 2005. In May 2009 Yanga National Park opened to visitors.
As part of Yanga National Park, People, Lake, Country explores the pervasive interaction between nature and culture. The exhibition connects memory, history and place through what has been a focal point for the area – water. The exhibition is a feature of the Yanga Homestead Precinct and is installed in the Cook’s Cottage building. It houses and displays Yanga’s movable heritage.
The innovative exhibition design uses simple and honest forms that are thematically appropriate and sit lightly within the heritage building; they provide a sense of openness and space in three small rooms. Clever use of soft spotlighting, a colour palette drawn from the lake-bed and innovative use of audio visuals helps create individual atmospheres for each room. Trigger conceived the renovation of the cottage interior, and designed the exhibition and all graphics.
