Thanks to Joey Ponce for designing our December Education poster. Here’s the story behind the art…

"When you said the concept was education, it got me thinking to a specific time in middle school: My english teacher used to read novels to us. And so that we weren’t just sitting there staring off, he would give us all playdoh and we would just sculpt while he read. It worked out really well for me, because I’m a visual note taker. I sketch and doodle while people talk and it actually helps me remember things more than if I were taking really rigid notes.

So, in terms of education, playing with clay has always been a special creative and tactical experience for me. So, I decided to make the words out of clay.

Technically speaking, I rolled out clay, used an X-acto to cut the letterforms out, and then used some tools to smooth them out and lay them out.”
