OZCHI is the annual conference for the Australian Computer-Human Interaction Special Interest Group. After designing the 2010 booklet, I was asked to create the program booklet for the conference held in Canberra in November 2011.
A 68 page booklet, with colour cover, black and white internal pages containing conference information, daily overviews and paper session abstracts. The booklet needed to be easy to use – for example: finding abstracts for papers on certain days.
And of course, I have to add this site into the “I made this” list. Being some what picky about the work I do, I tend to iterate over this site often.

It was a tight race between that and the Sony NEX – on paper the Sony outshone the Olympus. But in the hand, the Olympus won out for me – yep, it came down the physical feel of the camera – it plain felt better in my hands.
