+LayoutStudio Readme
+-------------------
+
+LayoutStudio is a work-in-progress application written by Treeki which plans to
+offer graphical editing of Wii NW4R layouts/banners (.brlyt/.brlan files) with
+functional, real-time previews.
+
+The application is written in C++ (with heavy usage of Nokia's Qt toolkit).
+
+The graphical rendering will eventually use OpenGL, and build on the excellent
+GX GPU emulation in the [Dolphin][dol] GameCube/Wii emulator.
+
+[dol]: http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/
