A legend passes. You'll hear the more 'experienced' PADC members wax lyrical about Street Remley any chance they're given. By all accounts he was a great man who worked magic on many a radio script. He was also a frequent visitor to Perth for PADC events. Poster by Life Member John Ilian and Tim Pearson. http://www.campaignbrief.com/wa/2016/09/vale-street-remley-master-of-r.html

Live from The Skulls 2016 judging in Auckland, the jury Chairs locked in deep conversation finalising the winners' list. Tom Paine (Chairman of Judges) at the head of the table, Tim Kelleher (Chair of Digital/Experiential) with the beard, Nick McFarlane (Chair of Design/Branding) the guy who isn't Tim or Tom, and Emily Beautrais (Chair of Advertising/Integrated) hopefully you can figure which she is. Massive thanks for their time. By all reports they have been a thorough, committed group. We look forward to seeing the results of their efforts at our Award Night on November 11.

Tim Kelleher to chair The Skulls 2016 Digital/Experiential jury. We are extremely honoured to confirm that Tim Kelleher of Sons & Co. Christchurch has agreed to chair our Digital/Experiential jury at our awards judging in Auckland. Tim's web design and development work has been globally lauded and he's living proof that being based in a small market is no limit on achieving greatness in our digital age. An excellent selection on Tim's work can be seen on the Best Awards site http://bestawards.co.nz/studio/sons-and-co/ We are keen to get the best that WA has to offer in front of Tim and the Digital/Experiential Jury, so visit https://www.padc.com.au/the-skulls/ to find out how you can enter. Entries close August 24. Tim spoke to AGDA a few years ago about the thinking behind Sons & Co.: “From the beginning at Sons, we sat designers and developers at the same table, working together as a tight-knit team. Working at other studios we'd observed that there was a big gap, a canyon really, between designers and developers and never the twain shall meet,” says Tim. “We felt the future of web design was designers and developers working together with a common understanding, supporting each other rather than this unproductive 'us and them' business that we'd struggled with for years.”
