Surreal Composite with Girl in Taffeta

Another photo manipulation, the result of a series of tutorials and a composite featuring elements taken from found images, put together in a collage. Not the end result I was hoping for, not quite as clean or seamless in some areas as I would have liked, but I think I've exhausted my patience with this piece. 


...at least for today.

Dyslexic Readers


Newly designed typeface could help dyslexic readers - CTV News

Dyslexie Font 


I saw this story in the feeds this morning and thought it was worth noting. First off, it should appeal to all you type geeks out there. I found it particularly interesting looking at the thought that went into why some of the choices were made. 

But it should also be noted that there was a study done on this font, showing slight improvement on reading accuracy with people with dyslexia. Although "slight" may not be a promising descriptor, I imagine any improvement would be welcome.
