Following an exhibition that begins in mid-February, the Center will distribute the individual 26 reproductions of letters to local pre-school children over the course of a year.\n<\/p>\n<p>I think that most of the artists will use a more painterly, humanistic technique. or what they consider to be a style of illustration suited to the young child.

I&#8217;m using a montage style typical of the way I&#8217;ve been thinking visually for some time, but still very much a graphic design.
