Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

This sophis­ti­cated suite of printed mate­ri­als was designed by Australian design stu­dio End of Work. There’s an incred­i­ble atten­tion to detail and pro­duc­tion meth­ods in these pieces — the laser cut feath­ers are pretty darn amaz­ing — so look closely.

Mangoola is a coal mine sit­u­ated in Australia. “Mangoola” is thought to mean “black cock­a­too” in Aboriginal lan­guage. The Cockatoo  is a native bird to Australia. Using the name’s mean­ing as inspi­ra­tion Sydney based stu­dio End of Work cre­ated beau­ti­ful print pieces to rep­re­sent the the feath­ers of a bird and the strata lay­ers of the earth. This was achieved through a large foil blocked pat­tern, and laser cut­ting paper. Launch invi­ta­tions, Commemorative books, brochures, cards and sta­tionery was pro­duced on black Notturno paper stock.
