This is a pretty cool flash page, I came across while browsing designcharts.com.
The low effort sighs and reliefs, each face makes......priceless!

Nice idea too.

Victoria’s Design Festival 2008

Wednesday 16 - Thursday 24 July 2008

"2008’s State of Design Festival program goes beyond the narrow definitions of design and reinterprets the impact design has on individuals, businesses, and communities across Melbourne, Victoria and the world.

Capitalising on the depth and scope of design talent available, Victoria’s design festival has something for everyone: design novices, professionals and even the uninitiated can get involved.

Experience lectures, exhibitions, walks, talks, shows, parties, moments, events – all offering conversations on design: what is it and what it means to us all."

Semi-Permanent

From the guys at Semi-Permanent:
"Your probably thinking one of two things right now. Either “Who or what exactly is Semi-Permanent?” or “Oh, it’s those Semi-Permanent guys, I’ve heard of them.” For the sake of this About page we are going to assume your part of the former, mainly to cover our arse and to make sure you get a good understanding of what the event is, even if you have already heard of us.

So, what is Semi-Permanent? To put it simply Semi-Permanent is a design event. It consists of a conference and side events which include exhibitions, competitions, workshops and parties. It’s a week long celebration of all things design. Graphic Design, Film, Art, Illustration, Web Design, Photography, Visual Effects, Animation, Graffiti, Motion Graphics, Stop Motion; all these things and more. Semi-Permanent explores the diverse and exciting design world bringing together exceptionally talented artists and designers to speak at the event."
