About your instructor
Steve Layton
Senior lecturer, IU Media School
An Englishman who has lived most of his life as an American, Steve has for the past eleven 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.
At IU, Steve teaches classes in the Media School, focusing primarily on graphic design and visual communication.
He is a graduate of the University of Florida.
