I do love a good trends read and fortunately Richard Laermer has published his 2011 Trendspotting for the Next Decade online, available as a free e-book. Continuing in fact a trend of publishing your book or at least a chapter or two online before you (might) buy the print version.

A fabulous piece of wayfinding for Eureka Tower Carpark in Melbourne from Axel Peemoeller, one of those so simple I wish I’d though of that pieces of design.

Today is Yorkshire day, a celebration to promote the historic county of Yorkshire.
The date alludes to the Battle of Minden and also the emancipation of slaves by William Wilberforce.
The Yorkshire flag was only approved a few days ago by the Chief Vexillologist of the UK Flag Registry after a long campaign.
Later we will be celebrating with a nice bit of Wensleydale, some Harrogate Toffee and perhaps a pint of Black Sheep or two.
