Matthew Leibowitz: Visual Translator

Tue, 12 Apr 2011 14:14:00 -0400

Born in Philadelphia on August 21, 1918, Matthew Leibowitz’s family had emigrated from Eastern Europe. Leibowitz studied at night in the certificate program at the Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Art (now The University of the Arts). He was intelligent, a fastidious dresser, an aficionado of puns, prolific and hardworking. At the time he was studying for his degree, he was already working at the established advertising firm, Gray & Rogers. During his college education (1936–1939), design pedagogy at the Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Art radically changed. This can be credited to the arrival of Alexey Brodovitch in 1930, one of the most important designers in the twentieth century.

I found a butt load of rich imagery the other day while looking through the Library of Congress website. Probably going to use them for my sketch book or something, not sure yet.

Not sure how I came across this guy but I’m glad I did. Iconwerk is the studio work of German designer, Stefan Dziallas. Specializing in icon making, Stefan has done work with clients like ESPN the Magazine, Bloomburg Markets and Fine Cooking Magazine. The Icon a Day series is definably his best stuff though.
