Australia has taken second place in the Quality of Life Index 2010, an annual list compiled by regarded lifestyle magazine International Living.
Second only to France, Australia was considered ideal for its 'active and healthy' lifestyle, temperate climate and large beaches. Our quality health care system, infrastructure, stable economic environment, and relative avoidance of the recent Global Financial Crisis noted in the report.
Australia's strong economy has drawbacks for travellers and aspiring emigrants as a strong Aussie dollar has made holidays expensive for visitors. Our cost of living is considered cheaper than some other major cities around the world, according to the index.
France ranked first in the index for a fifth year in a row, citing its unsurpassable 'bon vivant' lifestyle and world class health care system as major attractions. The country's high taxes and a confusing bureaucracy were also mentioned.
Rather than calculating countries with the best value for money, the Quality of Life Index aims to order global destinations according to their positive lifestyle qualities by taking nine categories into consideration: Cost of Living, Culture and Leisure, Economy, Environment, Freedom, Health, Infrastructure, Safety and Risk, and Climate.

最近这段时间不知为何就迷恋上了给字体做各种效果实验,那确实是很有趣的事。事实上,字体的效果不光是有趣,它在设计作品中其实是起到很重要的作用的。一幅好的作品,有的时候,就只是字体的排版和设计而以,所以如果能把字体这块做好,会给你的设计品增色。
每次我在别人的设计作品中看到振震的字体效果时就大感敬仰, 但其实仔细想想的话,有些效果并不是那么难的,会是那种,简单但很有效果。今天在准备做这个设计小品之前,我最发愁的事情是做什么字上去,呵呵,每次我愁这个。然后我就问黄鱼,让他跟我说一名只有三个词的句子,结果他说, go to bed, 我说那不行啊,这三个词的字母太少了,根本排不好看啊,再给我说点别的,更多一点字母的。结果他就说, less is more. 不错,这几个字对我来说名够用了,而且听起来好像还挺哲理似的。就是它吧!
看效果!!你要是愿意,最好把它横过来看,那样会更有效果一些,只不过我的博客图宽有限制,为了不牺牲效果,我才不得以而为之。
