Sam Barclay is a dyslexic graphic designer and typographer. He’s struck by the fact that every teacher he’s ever had has tried to help him read better, but none has ever tried to understand his experience. So he used type to show it.

It started as a (successful) Kickstarter project, it ended as a (successful) degree project. It is brilliant. It is beautiful. He takes the talking stick, and he uses his skill and his talent to not just tell, but show, his story.
