Boo, summer's nearly over. Never mind, this issue we have three competitions to cheer you up (see the right column) plus the usual round-up of the most commented-on stories since the last issue.

As ever, the latest jobs from Dezeenjobs are in the right column as well. And don't forget to check Dezeen for all the latest news.

Also, check out our new story categories: furniture lighting and transport.

By the way last month - July - was our best month ever, with 716,485 visitors to Dezeen. August looks like it might just beat that - every click helps! Thanks once again to all our readers.
