April! We had our first blogger extraordinaire, Lucy Feagins from well known The Design Files. She gets a gazillion hits a month for being the go-to-girl on all matters of design, interiors, and anything new and fun in the creative world - and it definitely didn't happen overnight. With a wow-ing 96% readership being female, it was nice to spot some boys in the audience. Click here to download her tips! ... Read More! »

Adam Morris has the best beard we've ever seen. No shit. Look at it. It's bushy awesomeness distracted us constantly throughout our early morning interview. And it's distracting us again now from getting to Adam's important bits. See, Adam is founder of Monsieur - a newly formed digital shop in Melbourne. He preaches a smart, useful and beautiful approach to digital. And we reckon his opinion is worth hitting publish on - seeing as he's worked on all things digital since nineties. And... He has ...

What do you get when you mix up two cool kids, no money, and a shit load of imagination? Tin & Ed told us all sorts of crazy things about starting out as designers. Not only were they young-en's that started their own kick-ass studio straight out of Uni, they're now represented by the one and only Jacky Winter Group and are wrapping Australian design into a tornado of coloured paper and loopy costumes. Look at those outfits! They're super cool bananas! Jr: First of all, tell us how you ... Read More! »
