This is a great little video by Scott McCloud on using type in Illustrator. The techniques used here can be applied to lots of different applications.
Ukraine
The “Russian Roulette” series from Vice News is a good way to get a handle on what has been going on in Ukraine over recent months.

At the time of writing the series is up to edition #68 so would require some serious time to catch up.
