British Design Innovation (BDI) launches new report on the practise of pitching in U.K.-based design agencies
In a new report launched on 7 November 2005, following research undertaken with over 200 UK-based design agencies, it has been confirmed that free pitching is still rife among clients and agencies and is costing the UK design sector 100 000s in pounds sterling in non-recoverable costs and an average of 12% loss of man hours per annum.

Adobe Bridge, Optical Kerning and Object Styles: An Encounter with InDesign CS2
Jenny Jasper, Icograda Communications Officer
"When I began working as Icograda Communications Officer in late July of this year - and thus crossed the threshold from 'Everywoman's' knowledge of graphic design and visual communication to the Grand Hall of world-renowned professionals - I opened my G4 iBook, glanced down at the dock, and noticed a blue feather, a pink butterfly and a yellow flower alongside my Microsoft Office icons. These, I was told, were my gateway into a marvellous new software release by Adobe called Creative Suite 2.." Thus begins this week's Feature on some new goodies I found in InDesign CS2.
