It was nice to be teaching Editorial Design again after being away from it for a few years. The magazine assignment is always a good one to demonstrate grids, unique use of type, and art direction of imagery.
Each student was required to demonstrate a title/masthead, cover, image heavy, opening story spread, and two text heavy spreads. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the time to develop the digital version of the magazine. Here is a selection of the more successful results.

From the acclaimed comic master Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor, Crazy for You, Moon Over Buffalo), this adaptation, rendered afresh with Ludwig’s hilarious, over-the-top style, is based on the timeless swashbuckler by Alexandre Dumas. It’s a tale of heroism, treachery, close escapes, and above all, honor.
A wonderful opportunity for the students to work on a wayfinding ‘challenge’.
Peoria Regional Learning Center was looking for a simple but effective signage system to navigate from the parking lot, into the building, through to classrooms, kitchen, reading room and assorted administration and utility spaces, while creating a vibrant learning environment.
Great job by all seven student teams, and a big thank you to Teresa Von Rohr and her colleagues for giving us the opportunity.
