It beautifully captures the romance of the railway, but in a way that feels surprisingly modern rather than nostalgic. It gamifies the commute and makes you want to travel.

The imagery in these posters is so visceral and arresting. You can feel the unrest and immediately understand the repression. It’s the perfect blend of art, journalism and protest.

A celebration of the architecture of the castle using a photographic technique that ensures it’s not just the building that’s distinctive, but also all the communications surrounding it. Very strong, very simple – everything sits together beautifully.

If you forgive the inclusion of a hashtag in the final line, this is a lovely way to reinforce the incredible progress the Matildas have made, as well as to celebrate their relentless drive to achieve more. More importantly, it makes the team and their exploits feel bigger than the sport. There’s no way you can read this and not support them in their endeavour.

Every craft decision is well considered, from the layout of the type to the materials of the box. And the reward at the end, showcasing the very simple little bottle with industrial wastewater inside, feels special and significant.
