I don't know who designed the keyboard pictured above. It's clearly designed to make the transition from QWERTY as simple as possible.
You can also see this picture as an SVG (with text, or with vector images, in case your SVG viewer doesn't support Shavian). These are fully scalable, and you should be able to print them, cut out the keys, and stick them onto your existing keyboard to make your own Shavian keyboard. Photos of the result are welcome and may be posted here if you send them to me.
Having all the letters and their mnemonic names in front of you all day also makes it a little easier to learn the alphabet.
Later I will write up details of how to make this layout work under Linux/BSD, the Mac, and Windows, and post about it here.
