    I recently picked up a cute book from a wonderful bookshop at Bulimba (the Riverbend bookshop). The author is Edward Monkton, an artist and thinker. He has created a movie version of the book, so I thought I would share the happiness on our blog! Yours in Design, Anya-demus

    The government plans on introducing compulsory internet filtering as early as mid this year (2010), in an effort to make the net safer, in particular for children. Communications minister Senator Conroy was quoted by the Australian newspaper(1) as stating: “ISP filtering reduces the risk of Australians being inadvertently exposed to RC-rated material when they are…

    If you decide to sponsor an event, wouldn’t it be a smart idea to research, ask and understand exactly what you are signing your business name up for? Obviously Kraft didn’t feel it was very important to ask what was going on at an ‘Australian’ themed circus in Texas, as to be linked with Australia…

    Belinda Vesey-Brown

    I’m not sure if anyone’s noticed lately but to me it seems like all the shows worth watching are coming from Andrew Denton’s production company Zapruder’s Other Films and the shows that make you want to scratch your eyes out are all coming from Rove McManus’s Roving Enterprises. Now for those of us who are…

    I have always loved TED talks (described to me once as Youtube for smart people!), so when we had the opportunity to go to TEDx in Brisbane we applied. Held on the weekend at the State Library it lived up to my high expectations. So many ideas were shared that both Paul and I came…

    Belinda Vesey-Brown

    I just stumbled upon this site (as you do!) where the company has developed a way of projecting 3D motion graphics onto a building to transform it into something surreal and surprising. Have a look at the video below to see what I mean. They are in the Nederlands so it’s a bit hard to…

    For all of you typography fans out there (or designers) you might get a kick out of this video. Be prepared by an awesome performance by Wingdings! “mail, scissors, bomb, mailbox!” LOL Although the matching of font names to the characters (no pun intended!), it is perhaps a little bit politically incorrect – but funny…

    I love retro interiors, my own place is an eclectic mix of ‘50s, ‘60s, and a touch of classic design in the way of Persian rugs for the floors. The movies are a great inspiration, you can see what the top set designers have been able to collect, borrow or copy to make you believe…
