From the month of May the format changed. Instead of two spreads containing an interview with kids on a given topic, photos of them and a crossword puzzle as elements each issue. The target group was adjusted from kids around 8 to 10 years old, to preschool kids. One spread with a story and an instruction to the reader (the parent) on how to built something with the kid.

Illustrating the law

I frequently do illustrations for a newsletter send out by a big attorney office. I illustrate a specific section of the law or an event/ case. Often the theme has to do with company law: how to hire people, fire people, avoid being accused of discrimination, dealing correctly with pregnant employes, employes with health problems, copyright law, laws about moving stocks over the border, tax laws....... and a bunch of other issues.

Elephants

An elephant is such a wonderful metaphor.

For a system: an Elephant is so big, that it can be difficult understand and grasp the whole picture and get a common understanding.

For teaching methods: some years back, it was believer that the best way to learn, was to write tons of notes and study hard at home. Repeating what you have been taught over and over = memory = elephant.
Now there is an understanding that students have different learning profiles: Some students learn faster with the distraction from music, some requires solitude and silence and others needs to get a practical approach.

IF: Packed ...... with leaves.
