CAPE TOWN: How cool is it to be introduced to speak to your peers by one of your heros and confidants?
You may know Ally Palmer as that force behind so many strong newspaper redesign projects in the UK and Europe. To wit, Ally was called to the stage at the Stockholm SNDS awards gala many times to collect big prizes for great work but you would never know all that pomp even existed when you chat him up at the bar.
He is the humblest bloke on the planet - and so with much thanks - I want to thank Ally publicly and share with you how cool it was to be set up by the man from Prestwick.
A true blessing in life.

Visual Editors: Sees the big picture and encourages learning
Robb has done a tremendous job taking VisualEditors.com from being a small group of posters to an interactive forum which provides original content in addition to being a place to share ideas. It’s one of the best places on the web for visual journalists to gather and exchange information and it wouldn’t have become that without Robb’s effort and vision.
