Born Modern- The Life and Design of Alvin Lustig

From time to time, I must comment on aspects of pure design inspiration. I had never heard of Alvin Lustig before an artist friend of mine showed me a book on his life and design. Largely self-taught, Lustig became a leader in graphic design especially as it applied to advertising and marketing. He also designed the book covers for countless literary figures of the time.

I confess that his work has inspired me to incorporate ideas of his into my own design work.
