About this Site
This site was first launched in 1999 to accompany my lectures on the history of graphic design.
I devised this unique approach of presenting the information by studio disciplines because students were
overwhelmed by the scope of the topic and most texts. It seems to work well for visual artists who are
approaching the topic for the first time.
After 20 years in the classroom in May, 2010 I took a break from teaching to return to my studio
and to try my hand at writing. The site will remain up indefinately because I am aware that a number
of teachers use it on a regular basis. It will be revised and updated during 2011.
I've registered the site under Creative Commons which allows anyone to use the site as long
as you attribute me and don't claim it as your own or chop it up and remix it.
Lectures and Presentations
I am available for presentations and lectures on any of the topics plus I now have a new lecture covering
the history of women in typography. I travel fairly regularly so it might be that I will be in your vicinity,
otherwise I am found in southeastern Pennsylvania, halfway between Philadelphia and New York City.
