    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…

Here at Red-i Design, we get treated to half an hour of inspiration during our Monday Morning Meeting, whether it is through motivational speakers or examples of great art and design.
