Professor Liam Viney Head of School, UQ School of Music
PRINT & ONLINE PUBLICATIONS
From 2018-22 I created assets and websites as the content design specialist at the UQ School of Music. The following examples have been utilised on digital platforms across the University for engaging the wider public and our existing audiences.
Music and Country
In 2022 I designed the program for the first Vice-Chancellor’s Concert, ‘Music and Country’. In addition to the program, I also designed the main marketing asset - a photo composite of William Barton, Veronique Serret, and Aunty Delmae Barton.
Verdi’s
Requiem
In 2022 I designed the program for the second Vice-Chancellor’s Concert, ‘Verdi’s Requiem’. In addition to the program, I also designed the main marketing asset.
Multimedia
Website
Each year I design a multimedia website on the Shorthand platform to highlight the UQ School of Music’s achievements. The 2022 page consists of videos, graphically designed images, photographs and news stories that I compiled or captured throughout the year.

2022 School Review
In 2022 I designed the UQ School of Music’s 2022 School Review document. The book was reviewed by an external panel who used it to assess the School’s performance over the past 10 years.

GRAPHIC DESIGN
THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND
I designed and created print and digital assets for the UQ School of Music (2018-2022), and the Institute for Teaching and Learning Innovation (ITaLI) (2023). Media packs were approved by the UQ Brand team in collaboration with HASS Marketing.

‘2023 in Review’ website image (text overlayed on website)
Creating the Vision6 School of Music’s 2024 Concert Series newsletter was an exercise in blending functionality with The University of Queensland’s visual identity. Using the brand’s core values and visual guidelines, I ensured the eDM conveyed the necessary information while resonating with the School of Musics’ audiences. The layout was structured to provide a clear hierarchy of information, with a focus on readability and ease of navigation. The template balances text and imagery, by using high-quality photos of musicians and pairing them with clean, concise text.
The final template received positive appraisal from the UQ brand team was a testament to the newsletter’s alignment with the brand’s high standards and its effectiveness in engaging the UQ community.

DCC BRAND
In 2022 I redesigned the brand for the Deakin Community Childcare Centre (DCCC) as part of ACG709 (titled changed to Deakin Childcare Centre (DCC) during rebranding). The assessment required an enhancement of the centre’s visual identity; conceptualising patterns that were reflected in a brand personality and logo design. Pages 25–31 contain extracts from the final branding guidelines document.
BRAND PERSONALITY STATEMENT
If DCC was a person, they would have been born female but would resist traditional gender identifications. They are warm, compassionate, principled and value community-focused ideals - believing and advocating for social justice and environmental responsibility. They are passionately empathetic towards the needs of people and hold a deep conviction that everyone deserves a nurturing environment. They feel a strong emotional connection with young children and believe that ‘prevention is better than cure’; a holistic approach
to early-childhood development can be the solution to wider social issues. DCC would try and ‘practice what they preach’, leading a healthy, sustainable and well-rounded lifestyle (physically and psychologically). They practice Yoga, go for runs, and eat organic and locally sourced food. They would be 180cm tall, slender, and confident; holding themselves in a physically ‘present’ manner. DCC is married but uses their maiden name. They have a young child of their own and have decided that they only want one child.
DCC COLOURS
DCC’s colour scheme* consists of earth-based pantones that capture a warm, nurturing aesthetic and visually represent the centre’s environmental values. Each colour has a unique and specific purpose in the DCC brand, as can be seen on page 9. DCC white is used for textural backgrounds and highlighting text in documents. DCC cream and DCC pink are the primary colours of the brand, and are used in textures, tier 2 assets and typography. DCC orange should only be used for the tier 5 assets (bronze brush strokes). DCC dark grey is used for specific typographic contexts (such as body copy and subtitles) and is the primary colour of the logo; DCC black is used for body text.

COLOUR EXAMPLES
TIER 1 ASSET
DCC LOCKUP
The lockup is the main asset of the DCC brand and should be used on all formal documents. It includes the logo, company name, slogan, circle and cut-out rectangle. Where possible the lockup should be present on all assets and stationery. The lockup can be separated in cases where there is a lack of space (e.g., pencils) or the context is informal (e.g., toys and child-friendly items). Examples and further explanations will be provided in the coming chapters.

CORRECT LOCKUP USE
The lockup should be used on nearly all DCC assets (see chapter Tier 1 Asset: DCC Lockup). On few occasions this is not possible due to limited space or because of specific portrait applications. Examples include small stationery items (e.g., pencils and rubbers) or printed publications (e.g., portrait A6 cards or bus stop advertisements). In such cases the logo, brand name and slogan should be used in combination.
The logo can also be combined with tier 5 assets for children’s’ toys, merchandise and certain promotional materials (see chapter Tier 5 Assets: Redbronze brush strokes).

PHOTOGRAPHY
Since 2018 I have been an in-house photographer at The University of Queensland. This collection of photographs have been used by the School of Music and Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences for assets and promotional materials. Conceptual photographs have also been included at the conclusion of the portfolio.
“Paul’s photographic work is highly dynamic and unique, a testament to his background in specialised professional settings. In addition, he has a lateral approach to creative thinking and is technically proficient in artistic and commercial image-making.”

3D MODELLING & JEWELLERY
I create jewellery, statues, and artifacts through 3D modelling and printing software, using Meshmixer, Blender, and Adobe’s Substance 3D Stager. While my work extends to photogrammertry and figure modelling, I have a passion for utilising aletorical processes to capture elegant and aesthetically vibrant wearable art. I intend to launch an official online shop in 2024
07 ROOTS
Deakin University invited me to design Roots; a 244 page Anthology for print and Amazon (digital) publication. I received a brief, created 4 mood boards, refined the design, then produced the entire book. Through the process, I liaised with an editorial committee and communicated with the authors when designing pictures and alternative type-setting formats to comply with their story requirements.
