Inspired by original photographs taken at the ‘Lightscape’ event, this Annual Report design upturns expectations and presents the RBGV not as a green wonderland by day, but instead a vivid ‘Lightscape’ by night. Methodical application of typographic conventions and meticulous typesetting delivers an enlightened edition.Reference Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria.
