Australian INfront

Xtra Shiny

With a name and logo as cute as Xtra Shiny, I expected just as much from their portfolio. I wasn't let down. This Adelaide based team produces solid and diverse work, all showcased in a slick website. I adore the illustrations used on the above GHD campaign: http://www.xtrashiny.com.au

Tina Ackermann

Nice work from Tina
—
I'm a graphic designer currently living in Melbourne, Australia. I graduated with a Diploma in Communication Design from the University of Applied Sciences Mainz / Germany, in 2009. Ever since I did my exchange semester at Swinburne University, Melbourne in 2006, it was my desire to return to Australia after my graduation.

Semi-Permanent Brisbane 2010

Semi-Permanent 2010 rolls into Brisbane this Friday with an impressive roster of industry speakers which are sure to impress.

INfront will be showing support by sending along Joel Goodman to be our man on the ground for the day. Joel will be reporting back with live tweets, photos and wraps on each speaker to keep you actively informed.

Similar to the RAFW 2010 coverage we have loaded the events system with speaker interviews, bios and galleries. During the week we will continue to add more interviews and gallery images to each speaker.

Get over to our pre-coverage and soak up some interview goodness from the likes of Vince Frost, Jasper Goodall, Alexia Sinclair and Stephen Dupont before the main event.

Flood

Flood is a team of super talented individuals whom we have featured in various forms over the last few months.

They are responsible in part for many creative endeavours such as TCWK, See-Saw, Ice Cream Magazine and Happenstance. On top of that, they have launched their new site today.

Parallax

Parallax are a design studio out of Adelaide with a strong background in creating identities and packaging. There is a fantastic mix of work in their portfolio. What I personally liked most about their website was the copy (I know, strange right?). Well written, concise and humourous too: http://www.parallaxdesign.com.au

Leif Updates

It wasn't too long ago that we first featured Leif Podhajsky's work. Since then he has done a site update with Tame Impala's new album artwork no less. I couldn't of imagined a better fit, Leif's unique blend of psychedelic art is the perfect mesh for Tame Impala's sound: http://www.leifpodhajsky.com

Pearly Ong

Recent Billy Blue graduate, Pearly Ong, is currently seeking full time or freelance work.

It must be Friday as I'm getting excited about wine bottle design again... Brett Layton from Bcreative has an impressive portfolio with some beautiful packaging examples: http://www.bcreative-design.com.au

Our mate Heath Killen is giving up the freelance life and looking for a full time gig. Got something in mind? Please let him know - the boy is a talent and willing to travel to explore new possibilities. He has given his site a spruce up and uploaded new work too: http://www.madebyhk.com
