1. How English became English – and not Latin

English grammar has been closely bound up with that of Latin since the 16th century, when English first began to be taught in schools. Given that grammatical instruction prior to this had focused on Latin, it’s not surprising that teachers based their grammars of English on Latin. The title of John Hewes’ work of 1624 neatly encapsulates its desire to make English grammar conform to that of Latin.

2. Illustrator and Graphic Designer Kyle T. Webster is on Facebook

Kyle Webster is a seriously talented illustrator and designer that doesn't take himself too serious. Case in point - his viral video, Original Design Gangsta he created back in 2006 that has an impressive 269,800 views on You Tube.

 
 
Don't let the video fool you though. Kyle Webster is a hard working, professional sought after by some big league players. His client list includes The New Yorker, Los Angeles Times, Entertainment Weekly and USA Today. And his work has been recognized by Communication Arts, Graphis and Print Magazine.

Kyle's illustrations and logo designs are examples of work built on a strong foundation of good conceptual thinking that comes to fruition through the skillful hand of an accomplished artist. His logos are deceivingly simple. They deliver their message instantly. However, only other designers and illustrators can appreciate the long hours and hundreds of thumbnail sketches that must go into his logos behind the scenes. Kyle's illustrations are rich in color and texture and his line-work is brilliant. Every line Kyle places on paper has a purpose.

3. Kyle Completes a Set of Opera Posters

These were a real blast to finish and I love working on a cohesive series of images. This style is somewhat of a departure from my standard editorial work - it was fun to experiment and push myself in new directions.
