GUM Classroom Posters
GUM, or Grammar, Usage & Mechanics, is a supplemental curriculum that helps young students build a strong foundation of language skills. We created downloadable classroom posters that illustrate how one might interpret a grammatical error.

Handwriting Classroom Posters
Long before keyboards were widely used, Zaner-Bloser literally wrote the book on handwriting instruction, back in the late 1800s. Today, handwriting education in the school system has fallen to the wayside, but it’s still a critical skill for language and math development.

As part of a lead generation program, our team developed a series of downloadable classroom posters that showed how improper handwriting can be misinterpreted. The posters, while concepted by me, were handwritten and illustrated by a fellow designer’s six-year-old daughter, Betty.
