Could do a lot better.

‘Macroeconomic’ reports for the EU and the Member States are prepared three times a year by the Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs (DG ECFIN).

This (above) is a summation of the Winter ‘semester’.

Now, show it to your father.

How about a forecast?

The second Le Cool Dublin cover (this was the first) from Tipperary born Elizabeth Burgess, a graphic designer and illustrator based in Dublin.

Elizabeth sez,

“First I’ll do lots and lots of research, I’m a bit of a mood board queen! Then I’ll start sketching and putting all my ideas together. Once I’m finally happy with a sketch I’ll scan it on to my computer and finish it up in illustrator. I love playing with texture and colours so I make a lot of swatches for every piece I do.. My inspiration for the cover was spring – also I’m a sucker for optical illusions!”

This week Apple launched its beta update iOS8.3, featuring a redesigned emoji keyboard with ethnically diverse skin tones for your smileys based on the Fitzpatrick scale – a dermatology standard adopted by the Unicode Consortium.

Other changes include same-sex and childless couple icons, plus an extra 300 non-human characters.
