The talented team at Small Studio have released their website masterpiece. I have been watching this grow for the last few months and I am really impressed to see their inventive take on a portfolio site.

Browsing through the site on a mobile device shows the attention to detail with a media aware layout in place which scales to fit the viewport.

A beautifully executed site from Carter in Melbourne. Great design and lots of loving attention to detail in movement and more.

Pause

Infront are proud supporters of Pause, an incredible digital festival taking place in Melbourne next month. The weeklong festival will start with small events, exhibitions, projections, open studios, installations, product launches and interactive projects dispersed through the city and it will culminate in one grand and exciting ‘exhibition’ event where visual artists/ agency show reels and business opportunities share centre-stage.

To find out more head on over to http://www.pausefest.com.au. Most of the events are free so its worth having a look around now to see what you can get along to and put it in your diary.

The Design Kids

The holiday season is fast approaching (seriously I can't believe it's almost October!), and the hunt for the perfect gift begins. The Design Kids gives a platform for Australian design graduates and working graphic designers to sell one off/limited edition pieces, and is exactly what you're looking for. With bespoke homewares, fashion, and an assortment of other goodies, there is a great range of gift options for super affordable prices.

The only problem is that you'll probably end up keeping everything for yourself.
