Dailey Crafton and I created the7lessonteacher.com, a site built to feature John Taylor Gatto’s essay, “The Seven Lesson School Teacher.” We created this in order to provide a platform for Gatto, with the intention to reflect on, and question the traditional school system as we know it today.

We began with the website, then developed posters, which feature some key ideas in his essay. We then posted the posters up promote the site’s launch on the last day of school in NYC.

We hope you enjoy the site, and are inspired to learn more about alternative schooling methods, and even to take action in your community to make school an enjoyable fulfilling learning experience.

Special thanks to John Taylor Gatto for giving us his blessing to disseminate his writings, and his kind words of encouragement.

livefrombklyn and I just finished up another Lockstep Studio project for the Department of Education’s SEP Showcase – a celebration of work created by students of the NYC Software Engineering Pilot Program. 

The concept for this visual direction started with a loose interpretation of algorithms as “a set of rules that precisely defines a sequence of operations.” Basic geometric shapes were used to create a system of letterforms. The shapes can be remixed to create new combinations (new letters, new patterns, new relationships between shapes.) This versatile set of combinations can be remixed to create an “active” visual language for the event.

This poster series came out of a collection of images taken of old cars I have taken photos of throughout the years, in traveling to different cities, and within New York. Soon to be screen printed.

‘Make Yourself Big’ is an ePublication designed for Amy Cuddy’s research on body posture, and how it relates to stress and testosterone levels in the body, effecting your mental state in a very measurable, biological way. Open up your posture, and you’ll become more confident.

Inspired by Amy’s TED Talk.
