I am sorry to report that one of the greatest and most influential graphic designers of the modern era, Lou Dorfsman, died yesterday at 90. Here is a link to his NYT obit written by Steven Heller and Heller’s tribute on his blog. He was the VP Design Director of CBS for about 40 years and a member of The Art Director’s Club Hall of Fame. Dorfsman was one of my heroes when I was a young art director.
If you read only one of the many articles about Lou Dorfsman’s career, Michael Beirut’s is the best. It may be found at Design Observer. Spend some time on this site to learn about what is going on in the graphic design business.
