Bankstreet rebranding

admin — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 13:14:23 +0000

Following an invitation to redesign Bankstreet.edu Shual was also invited to deliver a full fledged rebranding for Bankstreet School of Education. Some of the values that lead the redesign were: Children & Adults, Curiosity, Child Centered & Community. We created the new “Leafy B” logo and developed 2 color scheme sets for adults and children. One of the most important (& controversial) decisions we took was compounding the name “Bank Street” into Bankstreet.

Large scale redesign project for Bankstreet a century-old world leader in progressive education. Bankstreet houses both a graduate school of education, a school for children, a family center daycare, continuing professional studies and more programs spanning a very wide range of educational programs. The information architecture process included numerous strategy workshops and stakeholders surveys and an extensive collaborative process with the in-house web team we helped establish and train. The project was later expanded into a full fledged re-branding project as well.

Rhizome.org

Rhizome is dedicated to the creation, presentation, preservation, and critique of emerging artistic practices that engage technology. Shual was hired to perform a ground up interaction and visual redesign for the Rhizome website and the Rhizome Artbase. As a part of the redesign work we have consulted Rhizome on renewing its membership strategy and devised new community incentives to cater to a more up-to-date social web culture.

Rhizome has been around since 1996 and redesigning it after 15 years of existence was a great privilege. Design assistance by Ed Nacional.

The Jessy Cohen Project seeks to explore how art can take part in the processes of change on a city or neighborhood scale, by working side by side with other municipal, governmental, and private institutions. These double posters launched the summer activities in the Jessy Cohen neighborhood. They can be separated for a Hebrew-Russian poster & a Hebrew-Amharic poster – accommodating for the multiple spoken languages that can be heard at the neighborhood.

Radars and Fences 3 Program

Event Time
Friday, March 12, 2010
9:30 AM – 5:00 PM

Location
Institute for Public Knowledge
20, Cooper Square – 5th Floor
New York, NY 10003

Please RSVP at Council for Media and Culture Events’ page

Description

A symposium with Ricardo Dominguez & Amy Carroll, Teddy Cruz, Helga Tawil Souri, Laila el Haddad & Mushon Zer-Aviv.

Radars and Fences 2010 will explore the production of the Israel/Palestine and Mexico/US borders, examining how they engage affects, bodies, and spatial scales. Despite their seemingly confounding specificities, it is our intention to open up a dialogue between these borders in order to enable new terms of practical and political engagement. By bringing this plurality of perspectives into dialogue around the themes of affect and space, we hope to reinvigorate critical analysis of the border in all of its (im)materialities and locations.

Upgrade! NY presents:

Collaborative Futures Book Launch & Talk
a book about free collaboration written collaboratively in 5 days

Date: March 4th 2010, 7:30pm
Location: Eyebeam, Art & Technology Center, 540 21 Street, Chelsea, NY [map]

Over 5 days in mid January 2010 the Transmediale festival locked 6 writers and 1 programmer in a Berlin hotel room to collaboratively write a book about the future of free collaboration; the authors started with only the title, and ended the week with a book. Transmediale Artistic Director Stephen Kovats will be on hand to join Eybeam Senior Fellow Michael Mandiberg and Eyebeam Honorary Resident Mushon Zer-Aviv, to talk about the process of writing the book, and some of our discoveries in the collaborative process. Stephen Kovatz will also talk about the ‘Futurity Now’ concept of TM10 in general and particularly in the context of the Collaborative Futures book sprint.

This will be your first chance to get your hands on a dead-tree version of the book. Books will be for sale for $15 at the event, but you can pre-order now for $12 and help make the print run possible. Click here to pre-order!

The “Collaborative Futures” book sprint was facilitated by Adam Hyde (FlossManuals.net) and authored by Mushon Zer-Aviv, Michael Mandiberg, Mike Linksvayer, Alan Toner and several additional collaborators using the Booki software (booki.cc) by Aleksandar Erkalovic.
