From the Editor
March 2011 has seen some big changes to the world of one small seed. This month we launched our rebranding, giving new life to all of our platforms while maintaining a strong and unified brand identity throughout. You’ll notice these changes in one small seed magazine – starting with The Joburg Issue – to all of our sites – particularly the all-new blog site at onesmallseed.com. Our focus has been on keeping each element of one small seed fresh, current, user-friendly and engaging – allowing you to access the best of global pop culture in the best way possible. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new.
