Billy Blue College of Design

William ‘Billy’ Blue, the man, first arrived in Sydney as a convict in 1801. Thought to have been half American Indian, half African black, he later became good friends with Governor Macquarie, not easy for a black ex con. He began a rowing boat service connecting the south side of Sydney Harbour with the north and was eventually granted 80 acres at what is now called Blues Point. This entrepreneurial spirit is a heritage we’ve followed ever since, based on the principle that being able to deliver is important but it only really pays off when it’s backed by original thinking and a great idea. We champion individualism and professional savvy.

Billy Blue College of Design is now an iconic Sydney institution delivering graduates for the design and communication industry in Australia and across the World.

Finsbury Green

What shade of green is your print provider?

At Finsbury Green our research tells us that there are currently only a handful of legitimately 'green' print providers in the country.

As a consequence, we have developed the Finsbury Green Star Rating system, an environmental evaluation system for the printing industry.

The Finsbury Green Star Rating system is an online questionnaire that rates the legitimacy of a 'green' printer and also provides a CO2 rating.

This is the first time that any such evaluation method has been developed in our industry and will clearly benefit all who responsibly purchase or procure Green print ing.
