Prev | Next

Massive congratulations to Desktop Magazine who turn 25 today! To celebrate this we have a one year subscription to give away. All you have to do is upload a photo of yourself with your earliest copy of Desktop in hand to our Facebook page. Oldest copy wins - easy as that. Entries close on the 8th of September so you have a week to get it online.

The 25th anniversary issue is on news stands now and has been guest edited by Andrew Ashton / Studio Pip and Co with wonderful features on Australian creative culture over that period. There is also a little write up with Infronts own Justin Fox.

JustUs Magazine

JustUs Magazine is a quarterly 128 page adventure into paper possibilities; a magazine for print, paper and typography enthusiasts. Issue One is an ode to foiling and embossing with over 10 different stocks utilised, and each page touched with a special treatment. Yum, I can't wait to smell this (paper nerd right here).

What I love about this is the Flourish section which profiles 10 Australian studios, agencies and freelancers in order to keep developing a stronger design community. Not only that, they offer a student section and supplier/classifieds directory. Neat.

Subscriptions close this Friday (and are also available for students too).

Designer's Bookshelf is a new book review blog dedicated to the best design books available.

Parts & Crafts

Occupying the grubby front room of a former Mechanic’s workshop come Art studio (PARTS) PARTS & CRAFTS will supply a thorough range of independent titles and editions, concentrating upon (but not limited to) the zine format. Steering PARTS & CRAFTS will be Rob Cordiner, a graphic designer with a publishing slant, this coming to form in his recent establishment of micro-publishing collective SMALLTIME BOOKS.

With over a hundred titles in stock, PARTS & CRAFTS will highlight a stack of material previously unavailable in Melbourne, showcasing editions from the new breed of indie UK publishers DUKE PRESS, LANDFILL EDITIONS and NO.ZINE alongside essential staples from European heavyweights NIEVES, NOBROW and EDIZIONI CORRAINI. The Australian scene will be proudly represented, with local gems SERPS ZINE, IZROCK, ERM BOOKS and MAKING ENDS gracing the shelves. Furthermore, PARTS & CRAFTS will exist as an open workspace for SMALLTIME BOOKS, offering visitors a weekly snapshot of their production process and first dibs on zines hot off the RISO press, likewise allowing SMALLTIME a place to engage with their audience and talk zine.

It's only open on Saturdays from 11am to 6pm in the chilly streets of Carlton. Find out more here and support the scene.

The Book Project

More than 10,000 Australian women find the courage to fight breast cancer every year. The Book Project invites real woman to show their support by participating in a photographic program that showcases the very real beauty and courage of the Australian woman.

There are three things we know for sure. One – breast cancer can affect us all. Two – real beauty and courage is on the inside. Three – prevention is better than a cure. The Book Project aims to demonstrate these three points through documentary style photography.

Either staying anonymous or standing loud and proud, show your courage by having your image captured wearing nothing but a pair of black Bonds underwear. Real woman. Real beauty. Real courage.

The first one hundred images will be transformed into one off posters and 100 limited edition hard cover books. The sale of posters and books will go directly to the prevention and cure of breast cancer, while also educating woman on how to prevent breast cancer.

The Book Project is now open for residents of South East Queensland. If you would like to participate please submit your email. We will endeavor to contact you with further information as soon as possible.

Process Journal for iPad

The fine folk at Process Journal have just released their very own iPad app to complement the printed form of the publication.
