About me / Bio:
Gordon Andrews (1914-2001) was a British-born Australian graphic designer and industrial designer. He was a pioneer in his field and a cultural hero who merits a place alongside those depicted in the six Australian decimal banknotes he designed. He also designed the logo for the Reserve Bank of Australia, as well as products such as cookware, furniture, jewellery, interiors, murals, exhibitions and photography. He was a versatile and creative artist who worked in various media, including painting, sculpture, cartooning, silversmithing and illustration. He was awarded the honorary Royal Designer for Industry in 1987 and the Design Institute of Australia's gold medal in 1985. He was also a Fellow of the Society of Industrial Artists and Designers in the UK, and a member of the Royal Designers for Industry and the Alliance Graphique Internationale. He was widely acknowledged as one of Australia's most prominent mid-20th century multi-disciplinary designers.
