Summary

Physical Description

Andrews designed the murals, graphics and signage for the Reserve Bank's banknote printing works. The material consists of a presentation folio containing text, floor plans and illustrations; original pencil sketches, dyelines and mock-ups of designs; and a palette of colours used. A slide of the murals for the printing hall will be found at 89/735-14/180.

PRODUCTION

Notes

In his Curriculum Vitae (on object file) Andrews makes the following comments about this project in 1981-1982. 'Reserve Bank Note Printing Building, Craigieburn. Murals, graphics and signage throughout the complex. Murals and features in the Staff Centre. The graphics for the main building presented a unique problem since the building is a fortress and is somewhat forbidding. Four 100m long accessways, stairwells and huge spaces required special treatment to relieve the otherwise claustrophobic and intimidating aspects of the building.'
