Semi-Permanent hits Brisbane Town

I was lucky enough to attend Semi-Permanent for the second time in Brisbane (this time held in the Convention Centre) and came out with inspiration galore, my creative juices relenished, and my motivation well and truly boosted. It was also a chance to catch up with some old uni buddies and just soak up all that was on offer.

I was particularly taken with XYZ Studios frank talk, Toko’s unusual but intriguing way of looking at things (in particular information displayed in exciting new visual ways instead of conventional graphs and charts), Wired Magazine CEO talk had a slow painful start, but ended up being for me one of the most informative and interesting speakers of the day. And I can’t get away without mentioning The Glue Society who are just amazing, although it seemed more of an Ego Stoking session rather then a talk delving deeper or behind the scenes. All in all it was a rather awesome day and it was super cool to see so many creative people turn up and apperciate the role creativity and design play in our world.
