Alvin Lustig, Modern American Design Pioneer 1915-1955
Alvin Lustig's contributions to the design of books and book jackets, magazines, interiors, and textiles as well as his teachings would have made him a credible candidate for the AIGA Lifetime Achievement award when he was alive. By the time he died at the age of forty in 1955, he had already introduced principles of Modern art to graphic design that have had a long-term influence on contemporary practice. He was in the vanguard of a relatively small group who fervently, indeed religiously, believed in the curative power of good design when applied to all aspects of American life. He was a generalist, and yet in the specific media in which he excelled he established standards that are viable today.

Morphing the message
Persuade, change, influence is the theme for the Psyop Anthem short animation. Although the visual approach may seem innofensive enough, the intent of the message is direct. Requiring attention, since so true, eye candy can indeed disract. Watch it and see for yourself. Excellent storyboard and technical skills displayed.
