Kathleen Meaney Teaching Designer
The most exciting part of meeting designing woman Kathleen Meaney is discovering her teaching methods. (Also interesting is the use of the ampersand as the site icon!)
This assignment requires the student to act as punchcutter and printer — a process through which the history and present-day practices of graphic design unfold. It lays down a foundation for digital typography and color theory, and serves as a primer for letterpress printing.
Debbie Millman : Sterling Brands
Debbie has been a major influence in building the creative side of Sterling Brands since 1995. Debbie’s loves are culture, technology and the role that design plays in our everyday lives.
Debbie is President of the AIGA, the largest professional association for design. She is a contributing editor at Print Magazine, a design writer at FastCompany.com and BrandNew.com, and Chair of the Masters in Branding Program at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
Sara De Bondt
Sara De Bondt is a London-based Belgian graphic designer who has been running her studio since 2003. There you’ll find some wonderful and ground-breaking design …
At her site, you can also download a copy of her Futuro ET font — The Martian Museum of Terrestrial Art typeface (ttf) !!!
Susan Sellers : brand strategy
Susan Sellers is a founding partner and Creative Director at 2×4 and Senior Critic at Yale University School of Art. At 2×4, she leads diverse projects from large-scale identity and branding projects to exhibition and set design for major cultural institutions nationwide.
While it’s not necessarily about print or graphic design — it indeed is about visual communications design. Spend some time in this site and you’ll be amazed.
Tina and Esther: Little Fury
Anyone who names their site “little fury” has something going on that nobody else knows about. Maybe that’s what’s going on with Tina Chang and Esther Mun!
Be sure to dig into the packaging items … there are some very cool solutions here.
Deborah Adler left Milton
Adler was a senior designer for Milton Glaser for five years. She left motivated by a desire to make people’s lives easier and safer.
Now, she plies products, packaging, labeling, identity and information systems through her multidisciplinary design studio, Deborah Adler LLC.
Jessica Skipworth : Branding
Jessica, from Melbourne, Australia, has some lucious stuff in her portfolio like this complete pictorial review of her “DELIVER” branding campaign!
