Melton Mowbray Pork Pies

Last year one of the projects was to promote pork pies. This was in the news today which I thought was quite interesting. Apparently they are now protected in the EU and the name is only allowed to be used by the town and surrounding area.

If no countries objected to the idea then the legislation could be carried through. And surprisingly.......none of them did.

It sounds like the whole idea has been taken far too seriously, all reflected in the little sheet which is written in Comic Sans.

Type and Typography

Im currently reading this book and although it's quite a slow start, it is very useful for anyone that wants to get into typography. It gives plenty of examples when distinguishing the differences between the typefaces aswell go through the influences from where they came from. 

The only criticism I can give the book is that the writing style is very formal, which I tend to find harder to read.
