Life is unpredictable and so is the design journey.
La Trobe University’s E-bureau engaged me to design You Go High, We Go Low: Australian Pulps 1939–1969, a research publication to support a library exhibition celebrating the vivid, provocative world of Australia’s lowbrow literary culture.The design needed to hero bold imagery while still conforming to academic publishing standards.
The challenge was to create a layout that felt visually punchy, playful and referential — without compromising clarity or credibility. Designed to support La Trobe University Library’s exhibition on Australian pulp fiction, the resulting 64-page e-book celebrates the genre’s bold visual language while meeting academic publishing standards for accessibility, referencing and structure. Now available as an open-source reference on the university website, it bridges lowbrow culture and high-level research with clarity, flair and a healthy dose of pulp-inspired attitude.
