Working in a creative environment allows the minds of us at Waterloo Design to be naturally susceptible to random questions and thoughts because we are always looking for new ideas and inspiration. Since we are also always looking to further enrich ourselves and increase our knowledge, we feel pulled to investigate the answers to these questions.
Some questions that have popped up in the last week or so are:
Where do porcupines live?
What is a wombat?
Can you develop dyslexia or can you only be born with it?
The answers (as per our research) are as follows:
Porcupines are actually able to live in a variety of habitats and places so long as the weather isn’t cold (maybe that’s why they’re confusing everyone with their residential diversity). They are capable of living on the ground and in trees and inhabit continents such as Africa, Asia, and North America.
Wombats are a type of Australian marsupial that are also guilty of being terribly cute. They live underground, using their front teeth and claws to dig. Wombats are also avid herbivores. These critters may look slow and chubby but are actually capable of running up to 40 km an hour (that’s 24-25 mph).
It is possible to “develop” dyslexia, although it is primarily a disease passed down genetically. One can develop dyslexia through a traumatic event, such as a blow to the head. This is called trauma or acquired dyslexia.
As you can see, the Waterloo Design team has a well-rounded knowledge of everything from how to construct and design a gatefold brochure to how to properly spell cannoli (amongst other words). Although these questions may seem irrelevant, they are often directly inspired from and related to our current projects. After all, you never know when you will have to design your next wombat brochure.
