    Underworld by Tomato—

    This series of articles aims to examine the relationship between design and music. How does one compliment the other? How do different designers solve the various creative problems of this discipline? What makes a successful (if not iconic) solution for music design? And how do creative partnerships in this…

    Midweek Miscellany—

    I realized this week that I have over 500 favourited links on Twitter, accumulated over the last year and a half, most of which I have just never got around to properly reading. So I’ve decided to do a bit of digital housecleaning.

    Like New—

    I think I’ve been far too precious with my blog. Too concerned with perfecting entries and ensuring that each one reaches some level of importance or gravitas. After all, this is a process journal, not a major work.

    Autumn is slowly making itself known, and not a moment too soon. I don’t think I can survive another Australian summer so the cool change is most welcome. I find Autumn to be an incredibly inspiring time. The changing colours, moods and atmosphere are almost palpable. It’s all definitely…

    Magnus Voll Mathiassen—

    In the last few months I’ve become quite captivated by the burgeoning Norwegian design scene. There’s something that really appeals to me about the playfulness, poetry and artistry that characterizes much of the work coming out of Norway.

    One designer who I believe has been instrumental in shaping and advancing…
