Google Earth is more than a tool for checking out your neighbours geraniums. In the hands of Dutch designer Thomas de Bruin it’s a tool for developing a full font set – including capitals, lower case, numbers and punctuation – from locations all over the Netherlands.

Our Junior Art Director Jade reckoned it took him ‘like, for ever’ to find the whole font set. Apparently though it took him ‘about a week’, which makes it even more of an achievement. Type-nerds tip your caps please.

Envision programmes help young people to design their own local community projects tackling issues ranging from street crime to climate change. The programmes seek to provide individuals with a powerful and rewarding experience of making a positive difference. Thereby inspired by their experience, these people will be both willing and able to continue acting as effective role models for their communities wherever they are building powerful legacies of their own.

Envision is looking for dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers to become Team Mentors and Skills Mentors and help inspire young people to make a difference.

Every year Envision supports over 3000 young people to speak out about the issues they know are important, to take action and lead change in their communities.

Volunteer as a Team Mentor or a Skills Mentor and be part of their experience:

If you’ve been watching the news recently or have even a passing interest in volcanoes, then you’ll have at least heard about Mount Eyjafjallajökull.

No we can’t pronounce it, yes it’s kept Suzy from seeing her beloved little Paul for three whole days.

In truth this eruption has caused no end of disruption to the world of aviation, but if we step back from our travel itineraries for a moment, Mount Eyjafjallajökull becomes a stark reminder of the planets relative infancy as well as its amazing beauty.

Sean Stiegemeier certainly saw it, and he spent four days capturing it. He used a Canon 5d mkII camera, which I want, and music from Jónsi, which I like.
