Brief profile

Paul Morris started his career as a designer and commercial illustrator, before moving into television for a period in the late eighties. A love of corporate branding and photography remains a strong focus, together with Illustration. His most recent research aims to deliver reading material to visually impaired children in a more inclusive manner, at the same time as targeting the non-professional career or parent of the child in a confidence building and supportive approach. Paul lectures in Graphic Design and Illustration at La Trobe University’s Bendigo campus. He has lived in the Bendigo area for the past 20 years.
