In this issue, we report back on graphic designer Spencer Harrison’s co-working adventure around Melbourne (where he spent a week at five different co-working spots); we look at branding of Australian states – what do state brands tell us about ourselves and the places inwhich we live?; we spend 24 hours with Vince Frost; we ask six creatives about the importance of upskilling.
