Ngarara Willim Centre staff and students worked collaboratively on designing a uniform for 2020’s Indigenous University Games.
The design is focused around the three Melbourne campuses of RMIT and the two rivers flowing between and connecting them, the Birrarung (Yarra) and Mirring-gnay-bir-nong (Maribyrnong). The layout is a very rough placement of where each campus resides in relation to each other.
The largest circle represents the City campus, which combines the designs of Bundoora and Brunswick as well as original patterns that reflect the size of the City campus sprawling throughout the CBD and its multicultural influences from people within and external to the university.
Brunswick campus features designs that emulate the creativity that takes place on the campus, more organic and freeform shapes. Bundoora’s design is more in line with the science and education teachings, it has more structure with straighter linework, and some inspiration was taken from microscopic cells. The thicker border near the outer rings is also emblematic of the scar tree walking track/trail located on this campus.
