Steve Layton
Steve Layton

Senior lecturer, IU Media School

An Englishman who has lived most of his life as an American, Steve has for the past ten years taught design and graphics courses at Indiana University. Before this, he worked for almost two decades in newspaper graphics departments, including 16 years at the Chicago Tribune, where he was Graphics Editor and later Senior Artist.

Steve has won numerous awards for his graphics and design work, which he keeps in a drawer somewhere, and in 2001 he was a small part of a large project on airline gridlock that was awarded that year’s Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Journalism.

During his time at the Tribune, Steve took part in three major redesigns and witnessed firsthand and on a day-by-day basis the accelerating pace of change that continues to transform the world’s media companies.

He is a graduate of the University of Florida.

Office hours: Weekly Zoom forums, Friday (times TBD)
