Idea: Use a special typography for dyslexic children
I found this special font designed specially for dyslexic children Sarakanda(Spanish). It's designed specially to diferenciate similar symbols who can be confusing for dyslexic. When the font it´s finished it wil be publicy avaliable in OpenType format.
Offers
I can do ilustrations for Content Creators, and Icons for Activity Creators. Since there are no Needs yet, I will in the following weeks be producing some generic activity icons and place them in my User Page (under suitable licenses, like a Creative Commons equivalent to the GPL, or the GPL itself, still have to figure it out), both for my amusement, and for others to use.

Need
Outstanding requests for artwork can currently be found on the Art wanted page.
