Back in October and November we produced two additional cover artwork designs for David Silverberg’s STEPS publications. The Language Arts Manual used a photo of graffiti by Laura Balliet. She found this interesting collection of “Language Art” under the Detroit-Superior Bridge in Cleveland. Some fine-tuning in Photoshop made the graffiti text stand out a little better and a graffiti-like typeface was used to add the title.

Laura made an original photo for the Mathematics Manual. We purchased a sectioned nautilus shell which she photographed against a backlit, hand-woven cloth. The nautilus shell was selected for this image because its spiral shape follows the pattern of the Fibonacci sequence of numbers in which each number greater than one in the sequence equals the sum of the previous two numbers. We thought math teachers would get a kick out of it.
