Food for Thought

Volunteering at our neighborhood elementary school, PS 217, in Brooklyn, John and Stephanie introduce graphic design principles to fourth and fifth graders during a Magnet Arts Program and put these concepts into practice in published exercises. We were so inspired working with this diverse group of student — they brought such unique perspectives and insights into each execution of the assignment. Below are a few highlights from our magazine layout project, Food for Thought.

Students were organized into departments and responsible for data graphics, research based stories, advertisements, comics, and stories based on the theme: food (most often breakfast). While prevailing breakfast stereotypes topped the list, the wide cultural range of breakfast menus discussed during class was fascinating.

The publication was printed and shared with PS 217.

Special thanks to Judy Brandwein and PS 217 Teachers and Staff for creating such a warm and creative environment.

Below are a few highlights from our F words project. Typographically design a word starting with the letter F. The class quite perked up at the announcement of this exercise.

A collection of final designs were digital printed and shared with the class and school leadership.

NYC DOE CTE Brochures

NYC DOE CTE

The mission of NYC CTE is to ensure all NYC students graduate college and career ready, and to provide a high-value strategy to support both students’ postsecondary aspirations and the strength of the city’s economy. Working with the NYC DOE and various partners Stislow Design developed a cohesive look-and-feel across the related CTE information brochures for this robust program. Bold, colorful design engage students as they learn about and consider careers in various fields; from where they may be starting in public schools to next steps at CUNY schools and programs; to career pathways illustrating potential trajectories.
