    My favourite thing about new music is checking out the cover art. My all time favourite CD cover art would have to be for Regurgitator’s ‘Unit’ (although I could be a little biased as they are my all time favourite band). ‘Unit’ scored itself an ARIA for its shockingly simplistic CD cover art (by design…

    Those of you in Brisbane (or even Australia and the world it seems) will most likely be aware of the battle between Josh Shiels and Australian tennis star Lleyton Hewitt of the trademark dispute of the ‘Come On’ brand that Josh created a number of years ago. As a friend of Josh and his son…

Out of the 35,074 suggestions made, apparently ‘iSnack 2.0’ was the best. Dean Robbins, the graphic and web designer who came up with the name, says he was inspired by his love of technology and vegemite.…

      It turns out that Toblerone bars are clever as well as yummy! I don’t know if it’s just me, but I have never noticed the hidden message in the logo. I have always presumed that the symbol quite simply represented Matterhorn mountain in the Swiss Alps, but recently, as I chomped away, I happened…
