Kerning the Human Race

Kerning the Human Race Kerning metaphorically is the social distancing of characters, to split them up and create a legible and safe reading experience. First of all what is kerning? Kerning is the adjustments of space between the letters of words to improve the appearance of the printed text. Humans make up statistics, we are all 1 of 7.6 billion people, 7.6 billion characters who are now all having to space and kern for each other’s safety and future existence. Social distancing in the U.K. was put in place on the March after shocking models pointed to 260,000 potential deaths nationally. Enforcing social

distancing aims to prevent the spread of the virus, as it has been proven to be highly contagious, commonly caught through people sneezing, coughing and through touching a contaminated surface then your eyes, mouth or nose. It proved to keep us safe and help bring down the number of cases, along with other measures such as lock down. At the end of June the social distance measure were reduced by half to one metre, in order to allow more people in social spaces such as restaurants and pubs in order to help the economy regrow. This supported government lead schemes such as eat out to help out How this relates; Kerning doesn’t save lives but saves people’s sanity and preventing everyone’s inner designer to ignite into a state of rage and anger over illegible type is what it’s all about.

The Pandemic A to Z

The Pandemic A to Z The pandemic A to Z signifies the most common key words and phrases we have all been hearing over the last 9 to 12 months It is crazy to think how a single word can have such a deep and significant meaning to all of us simultaneously. This unpresidented period in time has made us think twice and changed our actions quite possibly for the rest of our lives. It’ll be passed onto future generations as the experiences and moments being lived currently will certainly be spoken about for decades. It echos war time stories parents and grandparents tell us as children. Here’s the A to Z, or should I say our A to Z as it belongs to us all, a piece of the history being laid down behind every seconds actions. A - Alone B - Breathing C - Corona Virus D - Death E - Economy F - Furlough G - Generosity H - Hording I - Immunity J - Judgment K - Kindness L - Lockdown M - Mask N - Negativity O - Organisation P - PPE Q - Questions R - Restrictions S - Social Distancing T - Track and Trace U - United V - Vaccine W - Wuhan X - Xenophobia Y - Youth Z - Zoonoses

Ellen’s Story

Ellen’s Story I am Ellen Hyland, a 50 year old mother of two working in the insurance sector, and here’s my account of the current period in time There have both been positives and negatives. The positives are that it has improved community spirit, such as clapping for the NHS. That’s been really lovely. I’ve enjoyed volunteering to help shop for the elderly and those who self-isolate, it fills me with a sense of pride. However, there are downsides too. I’ve seen friends and family feel very lonely. For example, older relatives in the family can’t go to any clubs to socialise and mix, let alone see their own family. It’s had a terrible impact on

their emotional well-being, and I understand why as I’ve experienced struggles as I think most people have. The wider impacts on other health issues and the impacts corona virus has had on areas of the health service have meant people haven’t got the treatment they need, some examples being the suspension of cancer treatment and other operations postponed. I think these examples are one reason as to why the virus itself might not be the biggest killer. The news is always so negative and normally presented in a bias way, which makes it unclear on whether we have progressed at all, or whether we are doing the right thing. I really hope things return to normal especially in time for Christmas and the New Year.

Kieran and Caspian’s Story

Kieran’s Story This is my story. My names Kieran Rosario (19) and I’m an undergraduate student studying music-tec at the University of Kent. I’m currently in my second year living at home with my parents Going through lock down to start off with made me appreciate things in life that otherwise I’ took for granted, I never knew how important certain times and experiences are to me. There are some positives. It has given me more time to think off different ways to socialise with friends. It has also made me socialise with groups I otherwise wouldn’t have thought about. It can be taken both ways but I have been able to relax a lot more freely, play more Xbox and have fun in the ways I used to what I was back in secondary school, with a lot less to worry about. That’s always

Caspian’s Story The pandemic from a young designers eyes. I’m Caspain Reynolds, a 20 year old Junior Graphic Designer based in Kent I think corona virus has mostly had a negative impact both physically, mentally and socially. It’s preventing us all from having intimate interactions with friends. Instead these interactions are becoming text on screen, rather than the usual laughs and smiles. Lock down has provoked personal habits making me extremely slovenly, smashing fitness within the first weeks to now struggling to do anything apart from

nice. With less uni work to do over lock down it gave me a change to work more and earn money I wouldn’t have done if the circumstances were normal. Not being able to go out has also meant I haven’t spent as much, building up my savings which is a great positive. Negatively lock down has meant I haven’t been able to have proper interaction with family, especially during the peak of lock down. It has been hard and challenging for sure, and I know it has been for the rest of my family too. Something else that’s a shame has been missing out on large events such as festivals and concerts. I was looking forward to another summer holiday with my mates and going to Wireless festival this year. It’s a great shame because the line-up was a dream, everyone I wanted to see was on it so it’s just a case of hoping they are going to be appearing next year. All I ask of people is to unite to help end this pandemic.

waking up and working in my bedroom two feet from my bed. For me, personally this is a huge negative, as I love to stay active and maintain a high level of fitness. The endorphins released make me feel well and happy, it gives me energy to conquer my day. Fitness being limited and the positives fitness has on my body and mind means it effects everything. My job becomes harder when I am less happy, and being stuck in four walls constantly doesn’t help. Overall, the sooner we can get back to normal instead of this “new normal” the better for everyone sake, especially considering everyone’s mental health. This is something which I feel has being severely overlooked. It’s going to be one of the massive problems we face post covid, peoples

me during this time. Overall, without a shadow of a doubt the negatives outweigh the positives. It is very hard to stay positive when you feel time has been taken away from you, and you hear about the tragedies around the world surrounding the virus, but I know it is important to stay positive otherwise life will not go anywhere but downhill. Another thing is I know it has been a lot harder for other people

and other families, and the reality is me and my family are healthy and well. Both parents weren’t furloughed, and I found a better job, so financially there hasn’t been the struggles others have experienced. This time has allowed me to find new passions and build interests I never would have considered previously, such as golf. Golf gives me a chance to escape the

negative world we are in, and have time to myself with no distractions. It’s purely a positive safe space for me. I am deferentially looking forward to starting my second year of University, and seeing my friends following the current rules. Something important to note is the virus is still around and viable, so following the rules and being sensible is important.

The Come Down

Amazon Crushing the Market Place Amazon have been one of the many large TNC’s to make billions of dollars worth of income and have seen astronomical growth. The company’s revenues of $96.15bn were better than analysts expected and its net income increased to $6.3bn in the third quarter, compared with net income of $2.1bn in third quarter 2019; we all know we have contributed to this in a small way with the pandemic narrowing our purchasing options by a mile. Amazon boss Jeff Bezos has seen his net worth increase by $47 billion, keeping him safely in the number one spot on the Forbes richest list, with a net worth of $181 billion. The Turtle Beach XO4 headset destroyed to create a large majoirty of the creative content was bought on Amazon. Being one of over 150 million people with Amazon Prime it was accessable and easy to purcjase this prodcut from there, just as it is for so many more.

Tomorrows Daily Pill Issue Includes; What will the vaccine do to our bodies, and is it safe? A vaccine would teach our bodies to fight the infection by stopping us from catching corona virus or at least making Covid less deadly. Having a vaccine, alongside better treatments, is “the” exit strategy. PM Boris Johnson expects millions of vaccines to be in the UK and available for the necessary people by Easter. Defiantly some positive news we all have been needing after months of negative and scary
