History
I started this guide from the blank page. It took me a long time to design the look and feel of the pages. My aim was to layout a very simple and bold design reminiscent of newsprint and institutions such as The Guardian Guide in order to emphasise the contents... With the layout now set in stone, there will be new and exciting stories to read every month, watch out for Issue 02, out early January 2012, printed and online.
