Great design meets sign language

Ever seen BSL look so good on paper? We haven't, especially since professional deaf designer Nick Beese came up with these superbly designed BSLphabet posters.

The designs cleverly integrate the letters of the alphabet with the BSL sign for the letter itself. Wickedly simple but tremendously clever, they're available in different colours and would look good in any room of the house. If you love sign language - why not treat yourself?

They're available from We Love BSL - check them out. We think these are the Beese knees! (geddit?)

Andy's Answer: Student response

Regular readers will recall Fatima's story 'About Me' and her lovely art work. Fatima now shares with us her first poem:

My name is Fatima
I am 13 years old
I go to Jack Hunt School
I work hard and do what I'm told

I'm happy, nice and kind
I am deaf but I don't mind
I have joined the deaf youth club
I have lots of fun

My favourite subject is Art
I like to paint and draw
I also like Maths
My favourite number is four


Watch this space for Andy's comeback.....
