We’re very excited to be participating in Terrible Twos by The Design Kids & Desktop Magazine.
It’s a one night charity exhibition at No Vacancy Gallery (QV, Melbourne) on 7 June 2012, which is all about bridging the gap between emerging designers and established studios.

Winter is already here, so we’re staying warm with some great tunes.

Massive Attack – Heligoland
Chapelier Fou – Invisible
The Cinematic Orchestra – Ma Fleur
Mount Kimbie – Crooks & Lovers
Moby – 18

We think the typeface National is wonderful, a perfect fit to put on our chalkboard for April’s Letter of the Month.

We’re thrilled to be named in the DQ Magazine Tomorrow’s Top Ten Forces & Faces in Design.

Jack will be speaking at the April Question Time along with Brendan McKnight from Desktop Magazine and Wendy Ellerton from Round. It’s a sell out and should be a great night. If you managed to snag a ticket, come along with some challenging questions for Jack to answer. See you there!

The end of summer and we’ve introduced some new sounds into our environment.

Chapelier Fou – 613
Miike Snow – Happy To You
D’Angelo – Voodoo
Frankie Rose – Interstellar
Austra – Feel It Break

We are thrilled to have our work showcased in the Computer Arts Design Studio Handbook. There is some great content in there, well worth the read.

This year AGDA Victoria are running an event called After Hours. It aims to get creatives together for a beer, coffee, chat and a laugh. The year has kicked off with two great post work drinks in Melbourne. Follow them on twitter @AGDAAfterHours for more details.

Our Letter of the Month in March is a 1945 gem from Swiss designer Hermann Eidenbenz. We’re yet to use it, but something will come up.

We’re proud to announce that we’ve designed the cover for the latest issue of Computer Arts magazine. In true Motherbird style we made it difficult for ourselves by conceptualising our idea through folded paper.

Thanks to Sam Corbett at Spicers Paperpoint for providing us with the lovely Optix stock we used to make the shapes.
