Ligature Journal is a proud collaboration between Tiliqua Press, final year students at Billy Blue College of Design, Sydney, and design professionals and thinkers from around the world. All of whom have generously donated their time, skills and insights to bring you thought-provoking publications.

For every issue, a new team of student designers will explore a topic dedicated to the mind, the soul or the body. In every issue, designers and creators from an astonishing range of fields give us their insights on that topic, and share their experiences with us. Each issue is a journey that we are excited to bring to you!
