"With “Info•Rama,”
intentionally scheduled to coincide with the start of the school year,
Kevin and Tom endeavored to design images that simultaneously functioned
as art and resources and could potentially find homes on classroom
walls. The screen-printing process used to make each one gives these
objects a vividness and tactility that distinguishes them from most
educational posters."
