New York University of Law — one of the top five law schools in the country (U.S.News & World Report) — has been working on a significant update to their main web site for the past year that will focus on the academic and administrative aspects of their institution. We developed and designed a “mini site” that highlights the life outside of the classroom and serves as a lighthearted view of the school.
Annual appeal for Scojo Foundation, an organization devoted to provide affordable eyeglasses to tailors, electricians, and goldsmiths around the world who live in poverty and depend on their jobs for livelihood.

One of the most popular features of Speak Up is Word It, where each month we define a word (say, “Garbage”) and readers submit a 5 x 5 in. square with their visual interpretation. All submissions—unless deemed deeply offensive—have been posted on monthly galleries, updated weekly amassing to thousands of archived squares of creativity.
In 2006, with F+W Publications, the contributions from the first 30 months were edited, with the best selections published in The Word It Book: Speak Up presents a gallery of interpreted words . The collection is presented by word, and some of the Word Its feature brief interviews with their designers, while others go more in-depth to get to the bottom of their ideas.

Quipsologies acknowledges that there is strength in numbers and in individual interests… everyone is invited and encouraged to add theirs — Quipsologies was born as a response to the increasing source of creativity found online and the desire to bring the most relevant to our readers.
Each year, Speak Up celebrates its anniversary by putting together Stop Being Sheep. A self-financed, twenty-plus-page, two-color, lovable booklet standing in at 4.5 x 6.5 in..

and shipping costs.
