Those that continued to take the survey on billing and salaries were entered in a draw for free registration at this years DesignThinkers conference 2010, to be held in Toronto on November 11 and 12.

Alanna Cavanagh worked with Art Director Justinia Baird-Murray to create this fun, whimsical new cover for the Penguin UK paperback edition of of Hello Heartbreak by actress and author Amy Huberman. Alanna says this was a fabulous project as it combined two things she loves to draw: cropped figures and hand lettering. If you're considering adding this to your summer reading list, please note this cover is unfortunately only available in the UK. Maybe the new cover will be picked up in North America as the cover itself is receiving rave reviews, as noted by Leah at Chick Lit Reviews .
