Design in Australia 1964/65

Art Direction: Arthur Leydin
Date: 1965
—

The third Awards Annual of the Australian Commercial and Industrial Artists Association (ACIAA). An early member of the Association, and later Federal President and Fellow, Leydin was heavily involved in publishing the ACIAA’s first records of Australian Advertising Art and Design in the early 1960s. In Max Robinson’s colourful AGDA Hall of Fame biography, he summarised Leydin’s contributions thus: ‘He shook the dormant ACIAA like a mongoose with a rattler, and what dropped out was an invigorated national body of designers who raised exhibitions and catalogues in a professional manner therefore unheard of’.
