Anthem’s summer reading list – everything you need to know about the latest magazines on the block

Image source: The Spinoff

This year saw drastic shifts in New Zealand’s ever-changing media landscape. As we endured lockdowns, we also faced months of uncertainty about the future of our most loved magazines, many of which have entertained and educated us for decades. With previously owned Bauer Media titles back on the shelves, as well as brand new titles, we can breathe a sigh of relief this crucial touchpoint of our culture and identity has new life.

To keep up to date with who’s who and what’s changed in the media landscape at the end of this tumultuous year, we’ve put together our summer reading list with our top reading recommendations for the festive season.

VIVA

VIVA magazine celebrates New Zealand’s ‘good things in life’, from fashion and beauty to food, design and travel. There was something special about leafing through Issue 01 shortly after the magazine took a leap from a weekly New Zealand Herald supplement to a full-glossy quarterly magazine in its own right. The first quarterly instalment, explains editor Amanda Linnell, is about Celebrating Aotearoa Now by reflecting on how 2020 has been a year that has “pushed us all to explore where we’ve come from, and discuss where we want to go”. As such, the content and characters that feature give the magazine a fiercely inclusive feel, with many wahine toa gracing the pages with their individual stories of creativity, ancestry and identity. A must read is Emma Espiner’s feature, an essay titled ‘Looking backwards to the future’, in which she reflects on how her Radio New Zealand journalist husband Guyon Espier was an unlikely modern champion bringing the te reo language to mainstream airwaves, despite initial reluctance from old fashioned or change-fearing listeners. VIVA is the perfect magazine for life-style enthusiasts, foodies and fashion lovers with a big skew towards women through the content’s deliberate inclusivity drive. The publication offers a voice for those who are champions for diversity and inclusion with reputable leaders who have compelling stories to tell - including food, beverage, fashion and FMCG clients.

Ensemble

Ensemble is an online magazine providing fashion and lifestyle news with a strong insider’s perspective. This insight comes directly from its industry heavyweights’ founders, former FQ Editor Zoe Walker Ahwa and industry face, Rebecca Wadey (ex-Kate Sylvester, Jo Malone London and MAC). Their byline is ‘for both intelligence and whimsy’ – a perfect escape in a Covid-landscape. Ensemble’s four content pillars are culture, fashion, beauty and people – writing content for a high-socioeconomic audience who are concerned with conscious consumption, the business of fashion, style trends and industry related issues. The magazine’s investigative journalism is Melanie Reid-esque in terms of quality and often provided anonymously from scrupulous sources. It balances the content nicely with light reads and trend reports.

Woman

Woman is an online and print magazine targeted at women 30 plus with articles on the latest in celebrity news, entertainment, local events and Kiwi women who stand out in their field of expertise. Published by Sido Kitchin’s School Road publishing, the magazine has a little bit of everything - from fashion, gardening, cooking, market appeal, beauty, art, home, wellbeing and book reviews. The features highlight inspiring stories of women who have achieved big things, including political editors Jessica Mutch McKay, Jane Patterson and Tova O’Brien who dive into their experience on the campaign trail during this year’s election.

Haven

Haven is New Zealand’s newest home and living magazine aimed at owners and renovating enthusiasts. The monthly magazine provides design advice, decorating inspiration and gardening tips, as well as showcasing local home, homemakers, food ideas and homeware trends. Haven’s content pillars are:

- Edit – homeware trends and style influencers

- Live – Kiwi homes that cross styles, locations and living situations

- Transform – style ideas and advice for room makeovers

- Grow – green spaces

- Eat – recipes from Nici Wickes

The magazine targets everyday New Zealanders, rather than only featuring high end, lifestyle properties. It also profiles the interesting Kiwis who occupy the homes too, rather than just being homes focused.

SCOUT

Scout is a monthly, glossy magazine that pays homage to Aotearoa, New Zealand and the beauty we have on offer for Kiwis and, when our borders open, international visitors. We enjoyed learning about places through the eyes of a range of contributing writers, from Stan Walker on his home city Tauranga, and Peta Mathias on Tairua. We also enjoyed reading about places we have been meaning to visit but never have, such as Tiritiri Matangi in Hauraki Gulf. The images are beautiful, and very authentic and true to life, rather than a polished tourism façade. The target market would be the domestic tourist or Kiwis wishing to explore their backyard. It appears to be a magazine for a wide demographic, that is not too high brow or elite, and accessible and relevant for many.

Thrive

Thrive, another magazine brought-to-market by School Road Publishing, is focused on all things health and wellbeing. Editor Wendyl Nissen has 20 years’ experience writing about wellness and vouched in the first edition that all content included in this magazine is “authentic and science based.” Each issue includes 3-4 long-form articles, ranging from day-in-the-life pieces that profile well-known Kiwis, to how to maintain DIY health and wellbeing practices from home. It’s relevant to anyone wanting to pay more attention to mindful living and comes full of tangible suggestions you can implement in your day-to-day life.

North & South

This long form current affairs magazine is back. The monthly is targeted at informed Kiwis aged 35–64 who are “endlessly curious about the country they call home.” Using a blend of investigative journalism, essays, profiles and reviews, the magazine explores everything that is complex and fascinating about New Zealand. The first issue since the magazine came back into publication under its new independent ownership asks, “are we better off on our own” in this ambiguous Covid era? A must-read is Damian Cristie’s feature “Closed” that explores everything that is at stake as we considering when, and how, we can re-open our borders. Donna Chisholm also writes a fascinating piece about how scientists at the Centre for Brain Research are studying tiny pieces of brain tissue to find treatments for Alzheimer’s, autism, epilepsy and other neurological conditions.

Metro

Metro has relaunched under new independent local ownership. The revamp sees it become a quarterly (formerly bi-monthly) magazine, with bigger issues featuring the best of New Zealand. Online, Metro plans to develop several digital platforms to give Aucklanders insider knowledge of their city. It’s great to see proper long form features back. The features were all well written and highly relevant to the narrative of the last few months and beautifully designed. It’s still the best food section in any New Zealand publication. We also love that Alex Casey is a columnist, it’s a perfect fit for Metro. There is so much content in here, it’s the type of magazine that will live well on your coffee table to keep coming back to.

Fashion Quarterly

FQ sees a welcome return for New Zealand’s style conscious. The magazine is aimed at women aged between 20-49 with content including shopping guides, new trends and style inspiration. The features dive into local breakthrough designers, sustainable fashion, conscious consumption, at-home skincare and self-improvement. The December issue arrives months after its publication came to an abrupt halt in March, with a clear re-focus on inclusivity and commenting on social and environmental issues readers care most about. Jacinta Fitzgerald’s essay “Where to from here?” is an interesting exploration of fashion’s most unforeseeable year and the future for sustainability in an industry that has an unsustainable track record.

Capsule

They say times of adversity provide opportunity, and Capsule is a prime example of this in action. Following the closure of Bauer Media NZ in April, Kelly Bertrand, former Deputy Editor of New Zealand Woman's Weekly, joined forces with a group of other former magazine editors to launch Capsule, an online curated collection of smart stories and relatable rants. Capsule is aimed at savvy, strong, intelligent and stylish Kiwi women who want to know what’s happening, what’s trending, what’s new, and what’s worth talking about. Capsule aims to deliver clever content that resonates and connects deeply with Kiwi women and helps them feel successful, informed and entertained. The range and volume of content that Capsule covers means there’s something for everyone and every mood – you could be reading a Samsung vacuum cleaner review one moment, then learning about creating workplace opportunities for young Kiwis living with disabilities the next. Having just signed on a content partnership with Stuff, we can expect to see a lot more of Capsule in the near future – and we can’t wait.

Woman’s Day NZ and The New Zealand Woman’s Weekly

After a hiatus following Bauer Media’s collapse, Woman’s Day and NZ Woman’s Weekly are back in full force to serve celebrity gossip and royal family scandal. The weekly print publications are primarily aimed at women aged 35 to 60 and in addition to reporting on the latest Hollywood red carpet faux pas, they deliver gripping real-life reads, affordable fashion, easy nutritious meals, quick beauty tips, entertaining puzzles and more. Overall, these publications provide entertainment and escapism – perfect beach reading material.

Chris’s extensive rail experience includes leading roles on numerous high-profile projects such as Crossrail and High Speed 2, where he led the design for the New London Terminus at Euston. He has worked internationally on the development proposals for new stations in Delhi and Mumbai in India and metro systems in Australia. Chris will lead Woods Bagot’s European transport sector.

Debby Ray

Debby’s flair for design is matched only by her passion for sustainability. She is registered in both the UK and the US, and joins Woods Bagot’s London team with 25 years of experience leading high-profile and award-winning projects both locally and internationally. Having honed her skills with Alsop, AHMM and Perkins & Will across the education, residential, commercial and masterplanning sectors, some of her notable successes include 150 Holborn, Wood Wharf, Manchester’s New Islington and the Stirling Prizenominated Westminster Academy.

8 Nov 2017 Woods Bagot’s London studio advice

Woods Bagot’s London studio advises Australian residential market on Build to Rent

Principal Jonathan Clarke and Associate Principal Simon Saint from Woods Bagot’s London residential team have completed a two-week tour of Australia sharing their knowledge of the build-to-rent (BTR) market in the UK. Earmarked as the next global location to adopt the rental model with an estimated $300 billion investment forecasted, the London team visited two of Australia’s largest cities, Melbourne and Sydney to educate key players in the Australian property market and decision makers.

Key to Woods Bagot’s success in the BTR market in the UK is their commitment to people focused design and this was a key message during their time in Australia. A relatively new phenomenon in the UK, Build to Rent is creating 95,918 new homes and has changed the landscape for urban cities, supporting a global shift in people’s views on home ownership. Jonathan comments on the change in approach for citymakers and developers: “This is a new model for city living which demands a new approach to marketing, funding and management; BTR operators need to think of their portfolio as a brand and something that people will want to come and be a part of”.

In addition to end user based design, Jonathan and Simon argued that amenities are integral to the success of BTR schemes. Jonathan comments on the importance of flexibility; “It is essential for end users and the durability of BTR that these homes provide personality and flexible amenities that contribute to the community. Developers need to create flexible space which can be modified with the emergence of new trends and they need to understand their tenants’ mindsets to keep them from jumping ship to another scheme”.

Simon argued that this end user focus needs to stretch to every generation; “Build to rent schemes shouldn’t just be for the younger communities. In the UK, retirement living has also seen a big change in mindset and the housing market is needing to adapt to this quickly. Retirees no longer want to be miles away from a city and in their own little bubble, they want to enjoy being part of a community and live the same lifestyle they have been accustomed to. Creating communities that can interact with one another is also key to Build to Rent schemes”.

In addition to meeting with State Government agencies, Jonathan and Simon met with Western Australia’s Minister for Housing, the Honourable Peter Tinley AM MLA, the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage and the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority, as well as speaking at the build-to-rent Property Council of Australia Business Lunch in Sydney.

Woods Bagot London designed projects for both Quintain and Essential Living and conducted extensive research into the rental model. For further information, visit the following link – https://ift.tt/98m36rY.

2 Aug 2017 Woods Bagot relocates Workplace Interiors leader to London Studio

Woods Bagot is further strengthening its Workplace Interiors team in London by relocating Senior Associate Colin Devereaux, to the London studio. Colin originally joined Woods Bagot in 2008, and has previously worked in the practice’s Sydney and San Francisco offices.

Colin has 20 years of Workplace Interiors experience, working on some of Google’s international headquarters, including Moffett Place in California and offices in Sydney, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore. His understanding of the UK property market comes from his involvement in some of the city’s most notable workplace schemes, including Cisco’s City of London office and Allen and Overy Headquarters.

Colin’s career at Woods Bagot started at the London studio, before moving to Sydney in 2009 and San Francisco in 2015. This global experience has enabled Colin to work on a wide range of projects, from boutique to large scale headquarter fit-outs along with multi-residential schemes, in the US, UK and Australia. In addition, Colin has been instrumental in leading environmentally-friendly schemes, delivering one of the first LEED v4 ID+C:CI certified projects outside of the US for Google Australia in Sydney.

Colin comments on his return to the London studio: “It’s our common belief at Woods Bagot that buildings should be designed from the inside out and it is crucial workplace in London is designed around this ethos. Our London studio is leading the charge in Workplace Interiors and I am looking forward to re-joining the team, bringing with me my global learnings.”

Jonathan Clarke, Global Residential sector leader and Chair of the London Studio, said: “Colin’s global experience and most notably, understanding of leading technology giants’ will be of great benefit to the London Studio. It is crucial that as a practice we share our global talent and we’re thrilled to have Colin re-join the London team.”

Woods Bagot shortlisted for three Australian Interior Design Awards

Woods Bagot has three projects shortlisted in this year’s Australian Interior Design Awards.

The Awards, co-presented by the Design Institute of Australia, DesignEX and Artichoke magazine, will be announced on 31 May 2013 in a ten-year anniversary event at Melbourne’s historic Plaza Ballroom.

Woods Bagot’s Sydney studio and their design of Mirvac’s workplace in Melbourne were shortlisted in the Workplace category, while their design for Pony restaurant in Brisbane was shortlisted as part of the Hospitality category.

Woods Bagot’s global studio is a 24/7 agile team. Designed to be warm and liveable, Woods Bagot’s Sydney studio embodies a continual commentary on design, agile teams, model making and material research, resulting in a dynamic workplace for architectural research.

Woods Bagot – Mirvac (Workplace) photo from Woods Bagot, architects

Mirvac is well known for high end residential developments, so when Woods Bagot set about designing their new workplace it was natural to look at high end domestic interiors for inspiration. Through conducting a series of workshops to extract the new vision workspace, a series of recommendations were created.

Woods Bagot – Pony restaurant (Hospitality) photo from Woods Bagot, architects

Brisbane’s new Pony restaurant is about indulging the senses and the theatrical staging of food preparation for the charcoal grill. The design narrative is built around the ‘farrier’ or blacksmithing, incorporating raw materials and featuring a two-metre steel ribbon winds that through the space, implying metal that can forged.

Glowing orb to be made from construction cones for Vivid Sydney 2013

A team of designers from Woods Bagot’s Sydney studio introduces Planet Under Construction – or PUC

PUC (Planet Under Construction), a light installation by a team from Woods Bagot’s Sydney studio, has been selected as part of this year’s Vivid Sydney: the Southern Hemisphere’s largest annual festival of light, music and ideas with an estimated half a million attendees.

Planet Under Construction – or PUC: image : Woods Bagot, architects

Made of orange construction cones to symbolise our architectural work, Planet Under Construction – or PUC – is a spherical lighting sculpture that mimics a planet. This celestial body features orange peaks as “volcanoes” that speak of energy and renewal.

Lights at its core will escape through cracks and holes in the structure, reacting to the sound of the passing train, and lighting patterns will be triggered by sensors around its base, creating a public interactive element.

PUC is situated near the corner of George and Alfred Street under the Cahill Expressway in Circular Quay, making it an important marker near the point of entrance to the event for visitors coming from the train station and the city.

Vivid Sydney runs from 24 May – 10 June 2013. To find out more visit www.vividsydney.com Find out more about PUC: https://ift.tt/52qyGJP

Graphic Design Futura In Logos, Advertising, And Art It’s been also used by hospitals, hotels, banks, book publishers, a certain Swedish furniture manufacturer, and a certain Swedish vodka. Here are fifteen of the most recognizable logos using Futura.

https://www.weareonfire.co.nz/design-work/spca-auckland-charity-advertising-campaign/

This is an SPCA Auckland campaign for a new animal crisis centre.

“When SPCA Auckland urgently needed a campaign to raise money for their new North Auckland Centre we put our hand up!

When SPCA responds to animals in need, 75% of its time is wasted caught up in Auckland’s diabolical traffic. There is an urgent need for a new satellite centre in North Auckland. New funds are required to build a better future for Auckland animals that are suffering. Save more. Rescue more. Rehome more.

70% of targeted funds were raised in the first three weeks of the campaign.

“We worked with Onfire Design to develop a fund raising campaign for a new North Auckland centre. Their creative was beautifully simple and cut through the clutter - a difficult task in a crowded and competitive charity market. They were a pleasure to work with - friendly, professional and passionate about what they do. We couldn’t be happier. Sam and the team - you are definitely Onfire!” Debbie Madden, SPCA”

What I really like about this is the play on words. “We put our hand up”. Because it shows in their work as well. It is also based in Auckland so I thought it was pretty interesting. They also show the drafts they made before finalising their ideas which is something that may be extremely useful for us. In a way it's like looking at their workbook for this project.

They mainly focused on billboard, video and posters.

Second campaign

Purina Adoption Campaign

Purina Petcare specialises in providing high quality pet food. Purina also partners up with numerous animal shelters and pet welfare organisations to advocate for animals' happiness and wellbeing. The goal of this campaign is to educate and encourage the public into adopting pets from animal shelters instead of backyard breeders. Purina got in contact with local adopters to ask for their help in this campaign. Purina wanted to break the stigmas surrounding shelter adoptions by showing how happy people were with their adoption and how much they loved their pets.

A hashtag was created to help promote the campaign - #ConsiderAShelterPet

From their photoshoot, Purina developed a series of banner ads, billboards, social media ads and street graphics to promote this campaign.

“This campaign also featured the debut of a new partner—Urban Chestnut Brewing Company (UCBC). The brewery partnered with Purina to bring into retail stores across St. Louis its highly anticipated beer, Urban Underdog, bearing the #ConsiderAShelterPet campaign details. We were thrilled to work with UCBC as we coordinated co-branding and packaging for this rollout.”

Creative Direction & Photography

We started by identifying a new creative direction for the campaign. In years past, creative was focused on spotlighting shelter pets and telling their unheard stories. This year, we positioned our creative to portray the joy of adopting a new friend and showcase the special relationships people have with their shelter pets.

In developing our new creative direction, we knew there was no better way to show off the love between people and their pets than through real people who had recently adopted their own shelter pets. We worked to identify a few local adopters, who stopped by our office with their best friends for a photoshoot.”

The images from the photoshoot became the heart of our creative across the campaign. We developed a series of billboards, banner ads, social media graphics and street graphics to connect audiences with our core message of adoption and raise awareness for the annual adoption event.

https://pnmg.com/project/purina-adoption-campaign/

https://www.purina.co.nz

Third campaign

https://www.pentagram.com/work/battersea/story

Bettersea is Britain's oldest and most famous animal rescue. What is very interesting about this brand is their visuals. It seems like water colour blops with drawings of cats and dogs. They have merchandise with these logos that promote their brand but also look visually pleasing. It is very refreshing to see this.

“The abstract illustrations are designed to subtly communicate Battersea’s story; they appeal to people’s compassion and humanity, without victimising or stigmatising the animals”

“A key focus while developing the identity was to create a brand that could flex and adapt based on the audience. This is particularly useful for Battersea’s public-facing programmes and fundraising initiatives, which lean into the joyful part of the brand personality. ‘Muddy Dog’, a fundraising challenge from Battersea, takes a playful spin on the master identity and uses tongue-in-cheek headlines to engage with its audience. In addition, Pentagram created a playful hand-drawn typeface, Battersea Paws, to reflect this loud and fun personality.

Pentagram also commissioned and art directed a new suite of photography to compliment the brand’s visual identity and tone of voice. Putting personality over sentiment, the studio photography captures the dogs and cats who come to Battersea, showing their real, wonderful characters and personalities.

The photography also captures the next chapter of a dog or cat’s life after Battersea. Taken in their new homes and with their new owners, these are stories of animals and humans together, of dogs and cats being given a second chance. These images capture natural, candid moments which demonstrate a real connection between pets and their new owners, or the wonderful characters of the animals.”

When ‘shopping’ for a pet consumers have very little knowledge of how to identify a genuine breeder and are misguided into buying sick, inbred animals. Four Paws is an awareness raising campaign that aims to maximise the impact and main message of the project. Within the context of the campaign, we seek to inform and educate people about backyard breeders with the intention of influencing their attitudes, behaviours and beliefs. We found articles pointing out that ‘backyard breeders are creeping into the market as Covid19 causes puppy prices to soar’ & ‘TradeMe pet sales allow backyard breeders to thrive’. Our solution, ADOPT DONT SHOP. Our research states that each year 6-8 million animals enter rescue shelters, nearly 3-4 million (i.e, 50% of incoming animals) are euthanized, and 10-25% are put down specifically due to overcrowding in shelters.

137 words

For a design reference case we looked at an Auckland based company called Onfire Design. They did a campaign with the SPCA Auckland to raise funds for Auckland animals that were suffering. It relates well with what we are doing because Four Paws is a campaign encouraging people to adopt from shelters in order to stop the rise of backyard breeders. The great thing about the Onfire Design campaign was the play on words. “When SPCA Auckland urgently needed a campaign to raise money for their new North Auckland Centre we put our hand up!”. The animal pictures show them with their paws up. It was a very clever play on words which we want to apply to our work. “Adopt one save two lives”. It's short and simple but also informative.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7DJTNBY

How would we promote this campaign:

We will promote a photoshoot on social media to encourage pet owners to come in for a free photoshoot where they will receive merchandise for them and their pets - Reusable bags, Food bowls for their pets, shirts, dog collars. Using the pictures from the photoshoot we can create posters, billboards, zines.

This will promote animal adoptions because the public can see first hand the love between the owners and their pets. Also the merch will have people asking questions - 'where did you get it from?’ to which they will be informed about the animal shelter adoption campaign.

How does it promote adoption? There is a lot of stigma surrounding shelter animals, the most popular being that they are not well behaved and aggressive. By showing the love between the owner and the pet we can break this stigma and show the pure joy the pet brings their owner.

By creating eye-catching merch we can use “word-of-mouth” to promote the campaign as well.

https://www.pentagram.com/work/battersea/story

Campaign name:

Four Paws

Research Question :

How can our campaign influence people to adopt a pet ?

Issue background:

Right now there are millions of animals in pet shelters and rescues that are waiting to be adopted. While 43.75% (RIGHT NOW WITH OUR SURVEY OUTCOMES) express interest in adopting from pet shelters and rescues groups, misconceptions about shelters and shelter pets carry on.

Campaign Description:

Campaign objectives:

To encourage pet lovers to make shelters the first option and desired way for acquiring companion animals.

To increase the rate of animals being adopted from shelters and rescue groups.

Target Audience:

Primary: Fence sitters (people who acquire a pet within the next year but remain undecided on where they will go)

Secondary: Shelter pet parents (those who have adopted shelter pets as they are pro-adoption advocate group)

Age range: 21 - 25 as (21 is the average age of millennial pet owners)

Pet store revenue share in the US in April 2021, by age group (https://www.statista.com/statistics/254111/pet-store-market-segmentation-in-the-us-by-target-group/)

Taking a look at the stats, I think we can use this information to find out our target audience age range. We also need to research two more factors so we can finalise our age range.

How old is the required age to buy and own a pet?

How old is the required age to adopt a pet? – Naina is going to email a shelter and ask them how old you have to be to adopt / ask them about age preference as well (We can use it for our age range)

21 - 25 olds

Because that's when most people move out from their parents house and I also found research that thats the average age that people become ‘pet owners’

Auckland Council - Dog registration rules states that ‘if you are under 16 years old, you must register the dog under your parent’s or guardian’s name’ – 16 years of age to own a pet

Survey Question:

Introduction :

For our final year university project in Communication Design, we decided on creating a campaign that encourages the public to make pet shelters and rescues the first option and desired way for acquiring companion animals.

Reason for survey:

To find out our target audience's preferred way to acquire a companion animal where this survey will be included as part of our research.

Questions :

Do you have a pet? (yes or no) – if no skip to question 5

(if yes) Is your pet registered under your name? (in other words ‘do you own the pet’?)

(if yes) Type of breeder/seller purchased from?

(Dogs NZ - registered breeder, unknown or unregistered breeder, family friend, other - please specify)

(if yes) Method of contact with the breeder/seller?

(breeders website, Dogs NZ, Facebook, pet shop, shelter or animal rescue, TradeMe, other - please specify)

(if no) Are you thinking about acquiring a pet? If so, which type?

(cat, dog, bird, reptile, aquatic pets, small mammal eg. rabbits hamsters)

(if no) Where would you consider getting your pet from? And reasons?

Do you live alone or with your parents/flatmates?

(alone, parents, flatmates)

Do you need prior permission to own a pet? (yes or no)

Products (group) :

logo

dog tag (teaming up with shelters and animal rescues,, once someone adopts a pet they will get a tag with our brand logo?? and at the back it will say ‘thank you _____’ the owners name or if it's a family then family name’

Colour palette ideas:

https://workingwithdog.com/color/ -

Font ideas:

“Most Popular Fonts Used in Animal Rescue Logos

Sans-serif fonts such as Helvetica and Futura are popular because of their modern appearance. Although Futura is a geometric-based type, it conveys contemporary thinking that's good for a modern animal rescue organisation trying to build donors' confidence.”

Hai it would be good to look at some stigmas around pet shelters: \

https://lifelineanimal.org/7-myths-about-shelter-pets/

References cases explanation

First case

Purina partners up with numerous animal shelters and pet welfare organisations to advocate for animals' happiness and wellbeing. The goal of this campaign is to educate and encourage the public into adopting pets from animal shelters instead of backyard breeders.

A photo shoot was done with people that adopted from shelters to show the love and happiness between the owners and their pets.

From their photoshoot, Purina developed a series of banner ads, billboards, social media ads and street graphics to promote this campaign.

This reflects back on what Four paws is trying to do which is the bright side of adopting from shelters. To show the happiness and love these pets can bring their owners. Which is why we are looking into photographing animals at shelters to show how adorable, loving, caring and well-behaved they are.

Second case https://www.pentagram.com/work/battersea/story

Battersea is a charity that cares for animals in Britain and beyond. Battersea was established in 1860 and helps animals find their forever home regardless of breed, behaviour, background or age. They help provide animals with the best care and training.

Battersea branding and advertising plays an important role in their campaign. Battersea made sure the brand identity stayed relevant by having a modern approach. Because of their modern approach to this long-time issue, they are able to continue staying relevant, informative, and make eye-catching advertisements.

This relates back to what Fourpaws is aiming to do which is create poster, zine, tag, sticker, badge, (photography project), social media - insta, website. This is inspired by the approach battersea had. So in terms of advertisement we are heavily inspired by Battersea illustrations, graphic design and photographic approach.

Font: Futura

In this post, we are going to introduce you to the Sans-Serif typeface that is the great creation of German designer Paul Renner known as Futura Font. This font is designed especially for the public housing project, ‘New Frankfurt.’

This font is being designed by taking inspiration from the sketches made by Renner. Some designs of this typeface are also considered as the Classic serif typeface and this works well with the styling of league spartan font and its styles.

The characters of this typeface come with the profound X-height that works great for all text-based designs that include a heading, logos, and many more. This is the big font family and all of them used by different designers.

Usage

This is a great typeface that is used in a number of different notable places from the day of its release. This font comes with great readability and makes the designs much more attractive.

This typeface is used for social media Bios. In the year 1997, this font is being used in the jersey of the American footballer team, and after that, this font has been used in different video games and movies.

If it’s good enough for astronauts, it’s good enough for adventurers working a bit closer to home. The Futura typeface has been employed by two of the most popular automobile companies in the world — Mercedes Benz and Volkswagen. While both auto manufacturers are German, they have wildly different brands. Mercedes Benz is associated with luxury and precision, while Volkswagen has long been viewed as an alternative to a luxury car; reliable but affordable, with a bit of counter-culture clout. Yet, both brands used Futura because the typeface is wildly versatile.

This versatility is the reason that you’ll spot Futura logos across a wide variety of brands. Just because a neutral, minimal fashion line like Calvin Klein uses it, doesn’t mean it’s not a perfect fit for a more extravagant fashion brand like Dolce & Gabbana, or a streetwear brand like Supreme, or a sports brand like Nike.

The entertainment industry adores Futura. This font was also thought to be Stanley Kubrick’s favourite typeface, and he used it in the posters and title cards for 2001: A Space Odyssey and Eyes Wide Shut. Director Wes Anderson’s has used it for many of his films, and it even graces set design throughout The Royal Tenenbaums. You may have also seen it gracing the title cards and posters for American Beauty, Gravity, Interstellar, and V for Vendetta, to name a few.

Qualitative Feedback

Cassie, Milla Paterson, Ashleigh Sun, Katie Shepherd

What is your "safe space" where you like to relax and hang out?

Bedroom and safe bed away from everyone else, your own zone to be yourself, plants. Introverts, be away from people who make you uncomfortable.

If you were to create your own little chill centre, what would you want in it?

Egg chair - safe peaceful enclosed nook, not restrained to bed. Elevated views make all the difference, calm not jarring. Sunlight as opposed to sterile eye-straining light/tones

What components excite / interest you to visit public spaces around Auckland?

Seating, botanical, wide open space (places for your eyes/brain to breath) OR more stimulating.

How do you feel about Auckland CBD's current environment?

Hate walking down busy dark Queen St/K Rd. Overwhelming & oblivious.

How do you spend your free time when in Auckland City?

Library window seat or Albert Park to study – Productive. Friends & shops in free time get monotonous.

What's your favourite public space in Auckland? Why?

Which green spaces in Auckland do you like to relax in? (Public spaces, parks, or anywhere else)

Library to get work done away from home. Beaches near home unknown to public. Shores near where grew up. Fresh air! Smales farm, grass and food court area revamp. Dog walks around nature, able to completely escape civilisation. Private seat for birds, waves, etc.

What would be your ideal green space? (Picture it in head)

Empty/still public space. Lots of space, only natural elements at work. Bush walk to incorporate exercise. Forest treehouse, farm, cottage. The smell of fresh dirt after its rained😊 Cloud watching, open sky.

*Only natural elements at work/away from civilisation – maybe we should consider more natural spatial elements rather than a fusion of greenery & industrial (which we already have enough of)

What are some prominent memories that you have from a time you were in a garden/green space?

Picking wild fruits, sense of adventure. Reward at the end of the walk. Thermal pools. Vast starry night. Finding small once-in-a-lifetime treasures, bioluminescent creatures – magical feeling.

What are your thoughts on community gardens?

Love them, neat small acts. Wonder who maintains them. Milla doesn’t see them very often.

How do you think a community green space would benefit the surrounding area/community?

Some would enjoy them but the majority wouldn’t take notice. Free community gardens and libraries, app Neighbourly.

Pests could be an issue, management of upkeep and protection.

What kind of events would you be interested in to contribute to the environment?

Making plant pots, learning about sustainable fibers, wildlife, Learning the basics of gardening, how to grow/harvest/cook your own food, making insect hotels, how to look after a houseplant, etc.

Making people overall interested, worried about specificity of activities/classes. People can just learn this online so why should they spend time at this event. Farmers markets = sense of community & excitement. Bribery – offerings of plants, kits, seeds, produce.

Zoe: A favorite nature memory is in Napier going to a farmers' market with family. Wearing sweaters with hot coffee on a freezing crystal-clear Autumn morning.

What areas of New Zealand’s environment/culture/heritage are you interested in & feel are important to learn about in this public green space?

Make people care about it more. Feel unhappy with the amount they learnt at school (Māori Culture). Create a more positive perspective. Love Hāngi’s, food and family

What’s on this weekend? Promotions for environment events?

Knows a friend very invested in planting, went to an expo for that. School strike for climate change. Working bees, garden competition, clean ups. Facebook jam jar clean-up.

Do you think being involved in green spaces benefits your mental health.

Yes, somewhere to break away from the city/industrial spaces. Would be inclined to visit in spare time.

Are there any plants (native) you like or feel connected to? Describe.

Don’t feel like there is enough diversity within Albert Park (only space we have so far). Younger generations know more/more involved than older – have been infused into our primary schooling, etc.

Should be more opportunities to learn about this. Small signs next to trees aren't enough.

Do you consider yourself environmentally conscious? What do you do if anything to contribute to this

Keep cups, forgetful. Household recycling very important – bin separation. Composting occasionally. Packaging minimization. Eco products don’t clean us/household as well as we want it to.

People don’t care enough to make an effort – Laziness, people care but not enough to take action.

Green washing, are we making an effort and then being lied to? Large companies untrustworthy, but often NEED their products – using small local businesses.

If brands were cheaper/more accessible/clear on their ethics, would you be more inclined to use them? - YES

Comments/queries

What are we planning on doing for our project? Proposing a conceptual green space, working on environmentally friendly components & encouraging community wellbeing - ‘Pilot green space’

Leaders Call on UK Prime Minister to Create Socially Just and Green Recovery From COVID-19

Richard Curtis CBE, Paul Polman, Michael Izza and leaders of more than 100 renowned companies, charities, universities, and trade associations call on the UK Government to ensure the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are at the heart of UK Covid-19 recovery plans;

The Sustainable Development Goals provide us with a blueprint to end poverty and inequality, and put health, wellbeing and job creation at the heart of Covid-19 recovery plans in the UK;

The UK is performing well on 24% of the Sustainable Development Goal targets, and could enhance this if they were used to frame the UK’s recovery from Covid-19.

A letter sent to the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday 9th June calls on his government to use the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to frame Covid-19 recovery plans. The letter references a statement made by the Prime Minister at the Financing for Development event on 28 May where he called for "fairer, greener and more resilient global economy" after Covid-19. He said that we must ‘work together to get shared goals back on track including [...] the Sustainable Development Goals’. The letter supports this and states ‘we do not need to reinvent frameworks or agreements, we can instead use the global goals as the basis for a socially just and green recovery in the UK and abroad’. Early evidence from the Business and Sustainable Development Commission showed that if implemented the SDGs create at least US$12tn in business opportunities in just 60 market hotspots and estimates this could be 2-3 times bigger across the whole economy. The letter has been coordinated by the UK Stakeholders for Sustainable Development (UKSSD) and the UN Global Compact Network UK (GCN UK) . Signatories include: leaders of Nestle UK & Ireland, Linklaters, Clifford Chance, The Body Shop, SSE plc, HSBC Group, NatWest Group, Standard Life Aberdeen, Scottish Power, Mott MacDonald and Unilever; filmmaker Richard Curtis; the Mayor of Bristol and Mya-Rose Craig (aka Birdgirl). The letter states that the ‘SDGs provide an internationally agreed framework, which also works at national, regional and local level, alongside and reinforcing existing plans and commitments.’ It asks that the SDGs be used ‘used to consolidate and future-proof [recovery] plans’ and goes on to recommend that they are used to:

Prioritise the most vulnerable in our society and level-up regional and societal inequalities;

Build coherent policies for a healthy planet and to aid the transition to net zero;

Unite all sectors behind a plan to build a stronger and more resilient economy.

The SDGs are part of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and give a “shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future”. There are 17 Goals at its centre, encompassing climate action, education and health. Unfortunately, the UKSSD Measuring Up report, found gaps in policy or inadequate performance for 57% of targets, and 15% where there is little to no policy in place to address it, or where performance is poor. It anticipates that this situation will be worsened by the societal and economic impacts of Covid-19. For media enquiries, please contact: Emily Auckland, UKSSD Network Director Notes to editors About the UK Stakeholders for Sustainable Development (UKSSD) Through collaboration and access to new insights, UKSSD brings organisations together to accelerate progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the UK. UKSSD was launched in April 2016 and has grown to more than 1,000 network members, representing most sectors and industries in the UK, from grass-roots community organisations to multinational business. We work with our partners to use their cross-sector voice to influence government and organisations on their approach to the SDGs. With shared expertise and leadership, we support them to learn from each other, develop their activities and identify new opportunities for collaboration, such as our new Food Systems Programme which launched in January 2020. About the UN Global Compact Network UK (GCN UK) Launched in 2000 as a special initiative of the UN Secretary-General, the United Nations Global Compact provides a framework for developing more sustainable and responsible businesses. Today, the UN Global Compact is the largest corporate sustainability initiative in the world, with more than 10,500 companies and 3,000 non-business signatories based in over 160 countries, and more than 60 Local Networks. It is a call to companies everywhere to align their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption. Its mission is to mobilise a global movement of sustainable companies and stakeholders to create the world we want. The UN Global Compact Network UK delivers an extensive programme of activity to support UK-based UN Global Compact participating organisations. The Network promotes practical sustainability leadership, shares knowledge across sectors, and actively shapes the responsible business environment to create a world we want to live and do business in.

Kaipara catchment first for Govt's healthy waterways fund

New Post has been published on https://diary.nz/kaipara-catchment-first-for-govts-healthy-waterways-fund/

Kaipara catchment first for Govt's healthy waterways fund

The vast catchment that flows through much of Northland and into the Kaipara Harbour will be the first in New Zealand to tap into the Government’s new $12 million clean waterways fund.

The announcement this morning by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Environment minister David Parker was made at the Booth Family’s Titoki farm which sits alongside the Mangakahia River, close to the boundaries of the three Northland districts, Kaipara, Whangārei and Far North.

Rivers with headwaters in the Waipoua Forest, wetlands just south of Kaikohe, the huge Hikurangi Swamp and as far south to north Auckland feed into the Kaipara Harbour, which is the largest estuarine environment in New Zealand.

The recognition of that complex and fragile system has been welcomed by freshwater quality campaigners and groups already working to clean up the water going into the Kaipara Harbour.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Environment Minister David Parker, centre, flanked by Dover Samuels and Labour MP Willow Jean Prime.

Among those at the launch of the well-water programme were Millan Ruka from Environmental River Patrol and Willie Wright, from Te Uri o Hau and the chair of the Integrated Kaipara Harbour Management Group (IKHMG).

”It’s great to see all our mahi (work) come this far and have this kind of backing,” Ruka said.

He said the processes were still being decided but it would be interesting to see which projects and through which means the Government support would be made.

Ruka has been a leading advocate of cleaning up the waterway network and last year was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM) for his work monitoring and reporting the catchment’s riparian health. He is a member of Kahui Wai Māori, the Government’s Māori freshwater advisory group.

Wright said that as well as recognising the need for more Government support, the announcement celebrated community will and efforts to date.

Former Tai Tokerau MP and Northland Regional Council member Dover Samuels, also on Kahui Wai Māori, said the group had been ”inspired by David Parker supporting a Māori perspective in caring for our taonga”.

Around 100 landowners, hapu members, local government representatives, conservation leaders and other interested parties were at the event, the last act of which was Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, accompanied by around 15 children, planting a tree on the nearby riverbank.

Andrew Booth, standing, tells the audience about water quality initiatives on his family’s Titoki farm.

“Every New Zealander should be able to swim in their river without getting sick. Sadly, half of our monitored swimming sites are not safe for swimming,” she said.

“Today, we are focusing on cleaning up the Kaipara, the largest estuary in New Zealand, showing how it will be done – a unified effort led by the community, with Government support.”

At this stage no figure has been put on how much of the $12m fund will go to the Kaipara initiatives.

Among problems identified in the large catchment, and which iwi and other communities initiatives have tackled over several years, are run-off, erosion, sedimentation, cattle getting into unfenced riparian areas, weeds, loss of wetlands, loss of eel nurseries and other kai moana environments.

Parker said the clean water initiative, first flagged in the 2019 Wellbeing Budget, recognised the value of community partnerships. The combined work of the IKHMG and other community groups was ”exemplary”, he said.

“Volunteers, iwi, local government, farmers and school students are all working together to improve the quality of the water flowing into the Kaipara Harbour.”

The Government would work with those groups to help understand what interventions to take, such as where to build and restore wetlands, or where more hillside planting is required to stabilise steep land, he said.

Parker said issues such as water take and allocation would not be included the programme.

Northland Regional Council land manager Duncan Kervell said sedimentation was a major problem on the region’s hilly, muddy and poor-soil country.

”We need to turn that sediment tap off. We need to help farmers protect their hill country. we need to help them keep stock out of the rivers, and to plant riverbanks.”

Kervell described the NRC’s proposed ”wraparound” service which would be informed by individual Farm Environment Plans (EFP). Action plans needed to ensure water quality protection programmes were compatible with good economic outcomes for landowners, he said.

Thank Your Cleaner Day celebrated around the world

Thank Your Cleaner Day, an annual event held on 18 October dedicated to cleaners to show they are valued and appreciated, has been celebrated around the globe.

Lillian Small CEO of the BSCNZ created the event, sponsored by Karcher, in 2015 in an effort to raise the profile of New Zealand’s $1 billion cleaning industry.

“This day is a very important and exciting date in the calendar for the cleaning industry, as it encourages people to stop and think about the true value cleaning services provide,” Small said.

Now in its third year, Small said BSCNZ members “went above and beyond” working with their clients to thank their cleaners.

“Some also took the opportunity to spread the good will even further by partnering with charitable organisations that have significant impact in local communities. Together we are making a real difference for the industry in a positive way,” Small said.

Since launching in New Zealand three years ago, the day has gained global attention, with around 10 counties participating this year – including Canada, US, UK, Spain Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Australia – which celebrated the day for the first time this year.

Karcher has been the sponsor of the event since its inception. Karcher New Zealand managing director Mike Roberts said Thank Your Cleaner Day is a fantastic campaign, which the whole world is now celebrating.

“This day is all about [cleaners] so thanks very much in helping make a difference with cleaning in New Zealand,” Roberts said.

Kris Cannon-Schmitt, VP of marketing and communications of Karcher North America, said Karcher appreciates the millions of cleaners who tirelessly work around the clock to keep working environments clean and safe.

“We’re pleased to see Thank Your Cleaner Day grow each year in our effort to recognise the hard working cleaners around the world who are oftentimes unseen but whose work is tremendously valued.”

In New Zealand BSCNZ member cleaning companies showed their recognition with various events and activities including brunches and mornings teas for their cleaning staff around the country.

Some of City Cleaning Services’ celebrations with its largest clients, including Auckland Transport and Unitec, were catered by Eat My Lunch, an organisation which provides lunches to kids in low decile schools. For every lunch purchased another is donated.

In addition to the Eat My Lunch initiative, numerous additional local celebrations were hosted on sites around the country where City Cleaning Services staff received thank you letters and Thank Your Cleaner Day collectable dated lapel badges.

Mike Mulholland, general manager HR and compliance at City Cleaning Services, said while Thank Your Cleaner Day affords an opportunity to thank deserving employees, it also encourages dialogue between cleaning businesses and their customers.

“Our customers frequently do not understand the complexity of the cleaning industry or the level of investment in risk management systems that is required to deliver a safe, compliant, sustainable and ethical cleaning service,” Mulholland told INCLEAN.

“It is this lack of understanding or acceptance that inevitably leads to price pressures and low margins with a predictable flow-through to the people at the sharp end.”

According to Mulholland, Thank Your Cleaner Daypreparations started about two months ago for City Cleaning Services, with some high level discussions between senior management and key client contacts.

“Those discussions centred on recognising our cleaning staff but also involved a wider discussion of the cleaning industry and of the efforts led by BSCNZ members to improve cleaning jobs through improved training, health and safety initiatives, employment standards compliance and positive efforts to prevent exploitative practices in an industry that has become increasingly reliant on new migrant labour.

“Thank Your Cleaner Day affords an opportunity to thank our valued and deserving employees but it also encourages mature dialogue between cleaning businesses and their customers about sustainability in a wider sense, and in the end that can only be positive for our people.”

National cleaning company OCS New Zealand and Air New Zealand hosted a brunch for the OCS staff that service the airport as well as Air New Zealand’s fleet of aircrafts.

OCS cleaning staff were thanked by Air NZ with a morning tea in an airport hanger

Other functions for OCS staff were also held at Mangere Refugee Resettlement Centre, Waikato University, The Warehouse Group head office, Christchurch Airport and Auckland Museum.

OCS NZ managing director Gareth Marriott said the day was a great opportunity for New Zealanders to recognise and value the industry and the vital contribution to businesses and the wider community

“Cleaning is one of the most important industries in the world, yet most of the people undertaking this work are invisible to most. Cleaners work day, night, and weekends to keep our clients working environments clean, safe and hygienic,” Marriott said.

Kevin Obern managing director of Office Max NZ, said: “This is such a great celebration. If you’re a cleaner, you’re one of our unsung heroes. You do stuff when no-one else is there to keep our workplace clean. I think it’s fantastic that we’re celebrating [cleaners] through this wonderful initiative.”

Christopher Mundschenk, executive vice president/CEO of BSCAI, said the event is about celebrating and acknowledging the vital contribution that professional cleaners make to our everyday lives.

“We know that clean environments contribute significantly to the overall health and wellbeing of everyone in our communities and cities nationwide, and help generate a positive image for businesses and organisations.”
