Vince Frost
Founder & CEO/Executive Creative Director
Frost* Design
Vince Frost is arguably Australia’s most recognised designer and certainly one of the most globally celebrated and awarded of our time. A member of D&AD, ISTD, AGDA and AGI, Vince Frost plays an active role in the world design community, regularly lecturing at colleges and conferences. A few pointers to his potential emerged in the early 1990s, when he became Pentagram London’s youngest associate director. After five years at the design industry’s best finishing school, he set up Frost Design in 1994. Since then, many awards have come his way, including D&AD silvers, golds from the New York Society of Publication Designers and gongs from the New York and Tokyo Art Directors’ Clubs. His work was the subject of a major retrospective – Frost*bite: Graphic Ideas by Vince Frost – at the Sydney Opera House Exhibition Hall in January 2006. This comprehensive exhibition of Frost’s work was accompanied by Frost*(sorry trees), an inspirational book spanning more than a decade of award-winning work by one of the world’s leading designers.
