New Composition
You may have already seen it, but Twitter is testing out a new look for its Tweet composer. This change has aligned mobile and web designs of the platform.

Creative Spot
Mud Is Good!
In a bid to encourage outdoor play (and promote its new app), Persil has teamed up with The Wild Network to build a 7ft tall, 10ft wide, erupting three tonne volcano.
