Finsbury Green

As environmental claims flourish it is easy for people to get confused about what is meaningful. At Finsbury Green we honestly don't make claims we can't substantiate because our efforts are woven into the very fabric of our corporate culture.This is why we are so committed to truthfulness, transparency and external independent verification. We try and do things differently, by making ‘green' seem normal rather than making normal seem ‘green'.

RMIT


Communication Design in the RMIT School of Media and Communication focuses on teaching students how to develop a unique visual language based on a thorough knowledge of design/communication principles combined with their individual design aesthetic and an understanding of the appropriate mediums. Their education however stretches beyond that basic knowledge into the realm of enquiry, discovery and anticipation of the future. We pride ourselves that the program is taught not only as a transferral of information and knowledge but it is also concerned with broadening the students understanding of the role of the designer in the world through the study of the history and theories of design. As well students come to understand communication design as a professional discipline and how design practice fits in a global context. Our graduates find employment in Australian and overseas in a broad range of design and communication studio's.
