We are very pleased to announce that we are holding out first ever conference for graphic design students, which has been named Sex, Drugs & Helvetica.
Here is our one paragraph on the event.
Dealing with and charging clients, what to put in your folio and how to present it, the must have books and must read blogs, knowing who actually owns your work and what does a day in the life of a designer really involve? Join Melbourne designers and other industry professionals as they answer your questions and shed light on the things that matter to young designers. Sex, Drugs & Helvetica, an event by Positive Posters for graphic design students in a big room with seats.
If you’re a design student living in Melbourne, we think you would be crazy to miss out on this event. We have tried to pack as much value in as possible and kept the price student friendly at $40. Hope we see you all there! Any questions, give us a call on (03) 9420 5070 or shoot an email to Tenielle tenielle@positive-posters.com. All the details are below.

That\’s a smart asnwer to a tricky question
God, I feel like I shulod be takin notes! Great work
Aaaand… purchase. Slotting it into Google calendar now.
OMG! this is amazing! would definitely consider flying down from brisbane for the weekend, unless you are planning one in brisvegas of course?
That would be amazing. Not this year!
Oh this sounds absolutely amazing, i would fly down from Brissie to be there but i have to be back for class at 6:30! Is there any chance there might be one in Brissie sometime down the track?
@Isabelle, we will defiantly look at it next year. Any suggestions for venues?
Just bought my ticket!
This looks fantastic
Thanks Blair!!!!! We love you!
Jackie and Nick!!Wow!!! Those pictures rellay show how beautiful and happy your union was! They rellay capture the moment. You both look beautiful and you guys glow together
I loved every single picture esp the cable car and city pictures. Anyways I hope you guys create and share an amazing life together : ) It’s an inspiration!
Come to Brisbane please, pretty please????
We wish we were!
Bought some tickets! Super excited!
Hi,
Will you have another event in Melbourne soon?
Didn’t know the forum rules allowed such blriialnt posts.
Your article was ecxelelnt and erudite.
@kara We have been getting a lot of requests, so I guess we will have to look at it. Probably not until next year though.
I won’t be a student next year. Will I still be able to go? Will it be in the same month or earlier?
Where’s Keith Jardine now, Where’s Tim Sylvia now? Tim’s motivation drpeopd after fedor Jardines chin is shot. The people that Houston, fought the battle with Houston standing his game. He isn’t top level or anything near it. He’s just a decent kickboxer without much of a groundgame.
Any chance of extra tickets becoming available? Would love to go on a wait list if there is one
@Kara You will! Not sure about the timing yet. @Kieran, we have a STACK of people who are asking for tickets, but unless we find a bigger venue in the net 7 days it doesn’t look like we will be able to release any more this year
sorry!
Hi Nick,
I want to buy a ticket
I know I am late (as I read your reply to Kieran)
Have you had any luck with a new venue? (hoping for a miracle)
I am enrolled in the Brighton Bay Program and received your Poster/Information booklet. Simply loved it and so badly want to be a part of this conference. But if not, I will keep my fingers crossed for the next one. Hopefully, its not to far away. Regards,
Fiona
Nick Peddle – The pictures are amnzaig Nicole and I are more than happy with all of them! And Charro you were a pleasure to work with, you made the day go so smooth and helped us with getting that perfect pose for the pictures! Can’t wait to work with you again at our day after shoot !!!
@Fiona, Glad you got our posters. It’s not looking good I’m afraid. We are already having to make the PP staff stand because we are short seats! Thank so much for getting in touch though. The next one will hopefully be early next year. How is Brighton Bay going?
Check that off the list of things I was conuefsd about.
Hi Nick,
Never mind
will keep my eye open for the next one. Wish you and the staff at Positive Posters all the best. I am sure you guys must be working very hard at the moment to get everything organised. So good luck 
Brighton Bay is going great. It’s down to the crucial part of the year where we are busy getting our folios together, hectic but enjoying and loving every moment of it.Do you visit us at BB too?
@Fiona Thanks so much for your well wishes. It’s the first time we have done something like this so fingers crossed we get it right!
Best of luck with your folios. If you need a hand with anything let me know (nick@positive-posters.com)
I was keen to visit BB but we couldn’t get it organised in time. If you want us to come and present the brief, let me and/or your lecturers know!
Hi Nick,
Well keep my fingers crossed for you guys
I am sure you guys will rock
Thanks for offering your support, will definitely contact you once I have completed all my work.
Will also speak to Anna ( my lecturer who looks after Art History and PNI @ BB) and will email you.

I like my steak, but let me tell you this: those veggies are
pretty darn good by themselves if you’re eating them with the people you love. If you have purchased a used option, you’ll most likely want to call in tractor services so that you can get help fixing any issues that might be
lingering within the machine. With a little sand, rocks,
cement and the right containers, you can make your own.
