about Melinda Vassallo

I am a qualified Graphic Designer and Art Director with more than 20 years in the industry. Her experience ranges from traditional typography, design and advertising through to the new digital media. Most recently she is the author of Street Art of Sydney’s Inner West.

These last 15 years I have been working under the company name of Fineline Type & Design. and during these years has held contracts for the design and production of several hi-profile companies.

For all my clients I offer a complete Graphic Design service including website design and construction, corporate logo and brochure design, advertising and packaging. I've lived in the inner city for most of my life and has always found inspiration for her design on the streets. Over the past few years I have been photographing graffiti and other street art forms found in the streets of Sydney, developing a passion for the ever-changing movement of Street Art.

In 2008 I won an arts grant to produce a pictorial reference book on the Street Art of the Inner West.

As an Author I've been asked to judge competitions, given talks about the growing subculture of Street Art, and currently helping organise a Street Art event to run along with Sydney Fringe Festival.

My book can be found in the Art Gallery NSW, Museum of Sydney, MCA and Museum of Sydney along with major Sydney bookshops. Or you can purchase it here on my website, go to books and check it out.
