Here are the covers from the booklet series we designed for Save the Children Sweden, War Child Holland and Plan International. The goal of the series is to teach young people about various terms and concepts related to the UN. I’m pretty excited to see the published versions.
Earlier, I wrote a piece discussing my thoughts on educational software in the app age. One of my main concerns regarding the successful maturation of an educational app industry was distribution. Apple is clearly the leader when it comes to distributing apps. The problem as I saw it was the App Store didn’t work for institutional buying. Well, it looks like this will no longer be the case: Apple Allows Developers to Offer 50% Discount to Educational Institutions for Bulk App Store Purchases
Here’s our video entry for the Digital Media and Learning Competition. I’m pretty happy with the direction we took for this video although I must admit I’m humbled by the work of the other competitors. Please do take a look at their work; awesome stuff!

Heads Up: UNICEF State of the World’s Youth Exhibit and Report Launch Date (Sept 8th)
After nearly 8 months of planning and designing, our latest project with UNICEF NY is set to launch in September (the
6th8th specifically). Proofs of the publication have come back and they look brilliant! There’s still some work to do on the exhibit but I can’t wait to see the pieces mounted in the Dan Kaye Center with links to the UNICEF Voices of Youth website. The exhibit will continue for a couple of months so please do stop by if you are in NYC.Hopefully, I’ll be able to upload some teaser images in the coming weeks.
