Footpath Guides are a series of books and artwork incorporating walking guides to the heritage architecture of Sydney and Melbourne.

Design Democracy worked to highlight the style and beauty of our historic Australian architectural legacy, and promote tourism with a bold and independent spirit. Each book explores a different era, presented with bespoke illustrations throughout.

The brand is distinctive and playful, working to meld historic and contemporary design principles to create a unique visual language that stands out in crowded retail environments.
