Book Report: Alexander Isley

            “[N]o one grows up wanting to be a graphic designer; most of us sort of stumble upon it” (Heller). Born in 1961 in North Carolina, Alexander grew up wanting to be like his father who was an architect. Alex studied at North Carolina State University when he discovered his artistic persona(wiki). Two years later Alex moved to New York to continue his studies at the Cooper Union. Alex graduated as an art director and positioning him as a director of the art in the social

World. In the early 1980’s Alex worked for a magazine company called Spy magazine. In 1988 he moved on and started his own firm of art, Alexander Isley Inc(alex). Since the birth of Alex’s company he has created many works including but not limited to: girl scouts of America covers, 9/11 memorial, and TEDMED theme art. As Paul Rand said, "Design is the method of putting form and content together." Alex put much of his work perfectly together to express and have the artwork speak for itself. for example the 9/11 memorial art work was designed to have the look of the twin towers and to give voice to those who lost their lives during that faithful day.

Stamp art Review

On the Noyta CCCP stamp, the type font that is being used is closely related to the italic font. The picture of the plane with the font works well on the stamp since the font gives a classic look but as well as a free flow style. During the fasination of flight, flying was a form of free spirited and fun entertainment. In essence flying felt a feeling of being free and flow(y).
