Creating the Australian Edition
In late 2018 a group of GLAM and education copyright experts decided to adapt UK Copyright Literacy‘s Copyright the Card Game to suit Australian copyright law. Like the Canadian adaption project we recognised that the content of the game would have to be changed to accurately reflect the Australian legislative and licensing context.
Using online conferencing and real-time collaboration tools (mainly Google Docs) we needed to address issues such as the differences in terminology in Australia as well as different Australian exceptions to copyright.
In the coming weeks we will be making design tweaks to the original card set’s design and preparing them for printing. We hope to launch Copyright the Card Game – Australian Edition at the Australian Digital Alliance‘s Copyright Forum 2019 on Friday 22 March 2019.
The colours
The colour scheme for Copyright The Card Game – Australian Edition is inspired by the floral emblems of the Commonwealth and the Australian States and Territories.
- Purple references the Royal Bluebell (Wahlenbergia gloriosa), floral emblem of the Australian Capital Territory.
- Red references the Waratah (Telopea speciosissima), floral emblem of New South Wales, and the Sturt’s Desert Pea (Swainsona formosa), floral emblem of South Australia.
- Pink references the Common Heath (Epacris impressa), floral emblem of Victoria, the Cooktown Orchid (Dendrobium phalaenopsis), floral emblem of Queensland, and the Sturt’s Desert Rose (Gossypium sturtianum), floral emblem of the Northern Territory.
- Green references the Red and Green Kangaroo Paw (Anigozanthos manglesii), floral emblem of Western Australia.
- Yellow references the Tasmanian Blue Gum (Eucalyptus globulus), floral emblem of Tasmania and the Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha), floral emblem of Commonwealth of Australia.
