Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has enriched the lives of children with
lifethreatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work. The Foundation’s mission
reflects the life-changing impact that a Make-A-Wish experience has on children, families,
referral sources, donors, sponsors and entire communities.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation was founded in 1980 after a little boy named Chris Greicius
realized his heartfelt wish to become a police officer. Since its humble beginnings, the
organization has blossomed into a worldwide phenomenon, reaching more than 161,000
children around the world.

Although it has become one of the world’s most well-known charities, the
Make-A-Wish Foundation has maintained the grassroots fulfillment of its mission.

A network of more than 25,000 volunteers enables the Make-A-Wish Foundation to
serve children with life-threatening medical conditions. Volunteers serve as wish granters,
fundraisers, special events assistants and in numerous other capacities.

As the Foundation continues to mature, its mission will remain steadfast. Wish children of
the past, present and future will have an opportunity to share the power of a wish.

Used in conjunction with your Logo Design, Corporate Identity helps to complete
the image of your company. It continues the idea that was created in the logo, and
carries it through to your marketing materials.

Beyond the necessary business cards, letterhead and envelopes, the team uses
your corporate vision to create a range of attention getting products.

And once created, the team has the experience and knowledge necessary to create
trouble-free reproduction files, whether that includes custom die cuts, special inks
and finishes, or just the right paper stock to enhance your image.

Chip Kidd is a graphic designer and writer living in New York City and Stonington, Connecticut.
His first novel, The Cheese Monkeys, was a national bestseller and a New York Times Notable Book of the
Year. His first book, Batman Collected, was awarded the Design Distinction award from ID magazine. He
is the co-author and designer of the two-time Eisner award-winning Batman Animated. He is the editor-at-
large for Pantheon, where he has overseen the publication of Chris Ware’s Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest
Kid on Earth, Dan Clowes’s David Boring, and the definitive book of the art of Charles Schulz, Peanuts
(designed, edited, and with commentary by Mr. Kidd). He has also written about graphic design and popular
culture for McSweeney’s, Vogue, The New York Times, The New York Observer, Entertainment Weekly,
Details, 2WICE, The New York Post, ID, and Print.

His designs have been described as “Monstrously ugly” (John Updike), “apparently obvious” (William Boyd),
“Faithful flat-earth rendering” (Don DeLillo), “surprisingly elegant” (A. S. Mehta), “a distinguished parochial
comic balding Episcopal priest” (Allan Gurganus), “Two colors plus a sash” (Martin Amis) and “not a piece
of hype. My book was lucky.” (Robert Hughes).

Mr. Kidd is also the lead vocalist, percussionist, lyricist, and co-songwriter in artbreak, a new band described
as “The New Pornographers meet The Cars” (Unbeige).

He does not, apparently, sleep.

David Carson’s retrospective of his past five years, Trek features photography, film, and Web
based projects that shift between personal and commercial. Uniting the content is Carson’s distinctively
fragmented and layered compositional approach: One example, a photograph of a sun-bleached shack and
a notice board that reads “Carson Design inc,” is adorned with graphic sunbursts, leaving the reader to
wonder how much of the image is real and how much constructed. The jurors commended the fluid, free-
associative feel. “David Carson continues to be one of the world’s most distinctive typographic voices much
imitated, but never matched,” Lupton said. She added that the book, which is published by Gingko Press,
“effectively presents Carson’ own work in his own style. That could be too much of a good thing, but in
this case, it’s just right.”

Paul Rand (born Peretz Rosenbaum, August 15, 1914 – November 26, 1996) was an
American graphic designer, best known for his corporate logo designs. Rand was educated
at the Pratt Institute (1929–1932), and the Art Students League (1933–1934). He was one of
the originators of the Swiss Style of graphic design. From 1956 to 1969, and beginning again in
1974, Rand taught design at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. Rand was inducted
into the New York Art Directors Club Hall of Fame in 1972. He designed many posters and
corporate identities, including the logos for IBM, UPS and ABC. Rand died of cancer in 1996.
He is buried in Beth El Cemetery in Norwalk, Connecticut.

Neville Brody, the British designer and art director, has now been at
the forefront of graphic design for over two decades.

Initially working in record cover design, Brody made his name largely through his
revolutionary work as Art Director for the Face magazine. Other international
                magazine directions have included City Limits, Lei, Per Lui, Actuel
                and Arena, together with London’s The Observer newspaper and
                magazine.

               Brody has consistently pushed the boundaries of visual communication
               in all media through his experimental and challenging work,
               and continues to extend the visual languages we use through his
               exploratory creative expression.In 1988 Brody published the first of his two monographs
               , which became the world’s best selling graphic design book. Combined sales now exceed
               120,000. An accompanying exhibition of his work at the Victoria and Albert Museum
               attracted over 40,000 visitors before touring Europe and Japan.

               In 1994, together with business partner Fwa Richards, Brody launched
Research Studios, London. Since then studios have been opened in Paris, Berlin with
plans to open a New york studio. Clients range across all media, from web to print,
and from environmental and retail design to moving graphics and film titles.

A sister company, Research Publishing, produces and publishes experimental multi-
media works by young artists. The primary focus is on FUSE, the renowned conference
and quarterly forum for experimental typography and communications. The publication                   i s
approaching its 20th issue over a publishing period of over ten years. Three FUSE
conferences have so far been held, in London, San Fransisco and Berlin. The conferences
bring together speakers from design, architecture, sound, film and interactive design
and web.

Armando Testa, the father of Italian advertising.
When asked to describe the work of the Turin-born advertising guru
Armando Testa in three words “less is more” immediately come to
mind.

Minimalism effected much of 20th century art and Testa was a
minimalist by nature. He based his advertising art - and indeed art it
is - on the principles of impact and simplicity. Testa was influenced by
abstract art and is perhaps the first modern Italian adman. In his ads
the decontextualised product reigns supreme. Consider, for example,
Pirelli’s baby elephant which had a tyre instead of a trunk.

Television first made its way into Italian homes in the 1960s. Testa
turned his attention to the new medium and embraced it in full, building
new uncharted worlds around his geometric creations. Among his most
famous characters are the Caballero Misterioso, Carmencita, Paulista
and all the inhabitants of planet Papalla who enthralled the public night
after night in the television phenomenon “Carosello”. (Carosello was
an innovative mix of comic sketches and advertising in which cartoon
characters were associated with different
products.)

Armando Testa died in 1992, leaving behind
his works (now showcased up until May 13th
in a major exhibition in Turin’s Castello di
Rivoli) and an advertising agency which
still handles campaigns for clients the like
of supermarket chain Esselunga and the
electoral candidate Francesco Rutelli with
his smiling promises of a better Italy.
                                                                            62
Adolphe Mouron Cassandre (January
                                   24, 1901 – June 17, 1968) was an influential Ukrainian-French
                                   painter, commercial poster artist, and typeface designer.

                                   Born Adolphe Jean-Marie Mouron in Kharkov, Ukraine, to French
                                   parents, as a young man, Cassandre moved to Paris, where
                                   he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts and at the Académie
                                   Julian. The popularity of posters as advertising afforded him
                                   an opportunity to work for a Parisian printing house. Inspired
                                   by cubism as well as surrealism, he earned a reputation with
                                   works such as Bûcheron (Woodcutter), a poster created for
                                   a cabinetmaker that won first prize at the 1925 Exposition
                                   Internationale des Arts Décoratifs.

                                   Cassandre became successful enough that with the help of
                                   partners he was able to set up his own advertising agency called
Alliance Graphique. Serving a wide variety of clientele, during the 1930s, his creations for the
Dubonnet wine company were among the first posters designed in a manner that allowed them
to be seen by occupants in fast-moving vehicles. His posters are memorable for their innovative
graphic solutions and their frequent denotations to such painters as Max Ernst and Pablo Picasso.
In addition, he taught graphic design at the École des Arts Décoratifs and then at the École d’Art
Graphique.

With typography an important part of poster design, the company
created several new typeface styles. Cassandre developed Bifur in 1929,
the sans serif Acier Noir in 1935, and in 1937 an all-purpose font called
Peignot. In 1936, his works were exhibited at the Museum of Modern
Art in New York City which led to commissions from Harper’s Bazaar
to do cover designs.

In his later years, Adolphe Mouron Cassandre suffered from bouts of
depression prior to his suicide in Paris in 1968.
                                                                                                      63
Herbert F. (Herb) Lubalin                              (b. 1918,
d. 1981) was a prominent American graphic designer. He
collaborated with Ralph Ginzburg on three of Ginzburg’s
magazines: Eros, Fact, and Avant Garde, mother & child
and was responsible for the creative visual beauty of these
publications. He designed a typeface, ITC Avant Garde, for
the last of these; this distinctive font could be described as a
post-modern interpretation of art deco, and its influence can
be seen in logos created in the 1990s and 2000s.




                                                                                               64
                                                                   Herbert F. (Herb) Lubalin
James McMullan                 (born 1934) is an illustrator and designer of theatrical posters. He is also
the author of the book High Focus Drawing and creator of the “High Focus” method of figure drawing.

                                                                                       James McMullen
Milton Glaser (born June 26, 1929) is a graphic designer,
                                         best known for the I Love New York logo,[1] his “Bob Dylan” poster,
                                         and the “DC bullet” logo used by DC Comics from 1977 to 2005. He
                                         also founded New York Magazine with Clay Felker in 1968.


                                         Glaser was educated at New York City’s High School of Music and
                                         Art (now Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and
                                         Performing Arts), graduated from the Cooper Union in 1951 and later,
                                         via a Fulbright Scholarship, the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna under
                                         Giorgio Morandi.

                                         In 1954 Glaser was a founder, and president, of Push Pin Studios
                                         formed with several of his Cooper Union classmates. Glaser’s work
                                         is characterized by directness, simplicity and originality. He uses any
                                         medium or style to solve the problem at hand. His style ranges wildly
                                         from primitive to avant garde in his countless book jackets, album covers,
advertisements and direct mail pieces and magazine illustrations. He started his own studio, Milton Glaser, Inc, in
1974. This led to his involvement with an increasingly wide diversity of projects, ranging from the design of New
York Magazine, of which he was a co-founder, to a 600 foot mural for the Federal Office
Building in Indianapolis.

Throughout his career he has had a major impact on contemporary illustration and
design and played an influencing role for Howard Milton. His work has won numerous
awards from Art Directors Clubs, the American Institute of Graphic Arts, the Society of
Illustrators and the Type Directors Club. In 1979 he was made Honorary Fellow of the
Royal Society of Arts and his work is included in the Museum of Modern Art, the Victoria
and Albert Museum, the Israel Museum and the Musee de l’affiche in Paris. Glaser has
taught at both the School of Visual Arts and at Cooper Union in New York City. He is a
member of Alliance Graphique International (AGI).

German type and book designer   Jan Tschichold
(1902 1974) revolutionized modern typography through his
bold, asymmetrical designs and use of sanserif typography,
both inspired by the work of the Bauhaus. He proclaimed
his new design philosophy through a series of articles and
books, including Die neue Typographie, published in Berlin
in 1928. His international renown came largely as a result of
his redesign of Penguin’s entire series of paperback novels
just after World War II. Any graphic designer practicing
today owes a debt to Tschichold’s innovation. Jan Tschichold: A Life in Typography offers a concise
biography of Tschichold, accompanied by numerous examples of his vast body of work. It serves
as an introduction to Tschichold for those who are unfamiliar with his influential style, yet for the
experienced designer it is an excellent collection of the wide range of his designs. Ruari McLean’s
books on graphic design include Modern Book Design (1958) and Typographers on Type (1995).
He is also the translator of Tschichold’s The New Typography and the author of various books on
Tschichold’s work
                                                                                                        67
                                                                                      Jan Tschichold

  • 55. Chip Kidd is a graphic designer and writer living in New York City and Stonington, Connecticut. His first novel, The Cheese Monkeys, was a national bestseller and a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. His first book, Batman Collected, was awarded the Design Distinction award from ID magazine. He is the co-author and designer of the two-time Eisner award-winning Batman Animated. He is the editor-at- large for Pantheon, where he has overseen the publication of Chris Ware’s Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth, Dan Clowes’s David Boring, and the definitive book of the art of Charles Schulz, Peanuts (designed, edited, and with commentary by Mr. Kidd). He has also written about graphic design and popular culture for McSweeney’s, Vogue, The New York Times, The New York Observer, Entertainment Weekly, Details, 2WICE, The New York Post, ID, and Print. His designs have been described as “Monstrously ugly” (John Updike), “apparently obvious” (William Boyd), “Faithful flat-earth rendering” (Don DeLillo), “surprisingly elegant” (A. S. Mehta), “a distinguished parochial comic balding Episcopal priest” (Allan Gurganus), “Two colors plus a sash” (Martin Amis) and “not a piece of hype. My book was lucky.” (Robert Hughes). Mr. Kidd is also the lead vocalist, percussionist, lyricist, and co-songwriter in artbreak, a new band described as “The New Pornographers meet The Cars” (Unbeige). He does not, apparently, sleep. 56 Chip Kidd
  • 56. David Carson’s retrospective of his past five years, Trek features photography, film, and Web based projects that shift between personal and commercial. Uniting the content is Carson’s distinctively fragmented and layered compositional approach: One example, a photograph of a sun-bleached shack and a notice board that reads “Carson Design inc,” is adorned with graphic sunbursts, leaving the reader to wonder how much of the image is real and how much constructed. The jurors commended the fluid, free- associative feel. “David Carson continues to be one of the world’s most distinctive typographic voices much imitated, but never matched,” Lupton said. She added that the book, which is published by Gingko Press, “effectively presents Carson’ own work in his own style. That could be too much of a good thing, but in this case, it’s just right.” 57 David Carson

  • 59. Neville Brody, the British designer and art director, has now been at the forefront of graphic design for over two decades. Initially working in record cover design, Brody made his name largely through his revolutionary work as Art Director for the Face magazine. Other international magazine directions have included City Limits, Lei, Per Lui, Actuel and Arena, together with London’s The Observer newspaper and magazine. Brody has consistently pushed the boundaries of visual communication in all media through his experimental and challenging work, and continues to extend the visual languages we use through his exploratory creative expression.In 1988 Brody published the first of his two monographs , which became the world’s best selling graphic design book. Combined sales now exceed 120,000. An accompanying exhibition of his work at the Victoria and Albert Museum attracted over 40,000 visitors before touring Europe and Japan. In 1994, together with business partner Fwa Richards, Brody launched Research Studios, London. Since then studios have been opened in Paris, Berlin with plans to open a New york studio. Clients range across all media, from web to print, and from environmental and retail design to moving graphics and film titles. A sister company, Research Publishing, produces and publishes experimental multi- media works by young artists. The primary focus is on FUSE, the renowned conference and quarterly forum for experimental typography and communications. The publication i s approaching its 20th issue over a publishing period of over ten years. Three FUSE conferences have so far been held, in London, San Fransisco and Berlin. The conferences bring together speakers from design, architecture, sound, film and interactive design and web. 60 Neville Brody
  • 60. Peter Max is a multi-dimensional creative artist. He has worked with oils, acrylics, water colors, finger paints, dyes, pastels, charcoal, pen, multi-colored pencils, etchings, engravings, animation cells, lithographs, serigraphs, silk screens, ceramics, sculpture, collage, video and computer graphics. He loves all media, including mass media as a “canvas” for his creative expression. As in his prolific creative output, Max is as passionate in his creative input. He loves to hear amazing facts about the universe and is as fascinated with numbers and mathematics as he is with visual phenomena. 61 Neville Brody
  • 61. Armando Testa, the father of Italian advertising. When asked to describe the work of the Turin-born advertising guru Armando Testa in three words “less is more” immediately come to mind. Minimalism effected much of 20th century art and Testa was a minimalist by nature. He based his advertising art - and indeed art it is - on the principles of impact and simplicity. Testa was influenced by abstract art and is perhaps the first modern Italian adman. In his ads the decontextualised product reigns supreme. Consider, for example, Pirelli’s baby elephant which had a tyre instead of a trunk. Television first made its way into Italian homes in the 1960s. Testa turned his attention to the new medium and embraced it in full, building new uncharted worlds around his geometric creations. Among his most famous characters are the Caballero Misterioso, Carmencita, Paulista and all the inhabitants of planet Papalla who enthralled the public night after night in the television phenomenon “Carosello”. (Carosello was an innovative mix of comic sketches and advertising in which cartoon characters were associated with different products.) Armando Testa died in 1992, leaving behind his works (now showcased up until May 13th in a major exhibition in Turin’s Castello di Rivoli) and an advertising agency which still handles campaigns for clients the like of supermarket chain Esselunga and the electoral candidate Francesco Rutelli with his smiling promises of a better Italy. 62
  • 62. Adolphe Mouron Cassandre (January 24, 1901 – June 17, 1968) was an influential Ukrainian-French painter, commercial poster artist, and typeface designer. Born Adolphe Jean-Marie Mouron in Kharkov, Ukraine, to French parents, as a young man, Cassandre moved to Paris, where he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts and at the Académie Julian. The popularity of posters as advertising afforded him an opportunity to work for a Parisian printing house. Inspired by cubism as well as surrealism, he earned a reputation with works such as Bûcheron (Woodcutter), a poster created for a cabinetmaker that won first prize at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs. Cassandre became successful enough that with the help of partners he was able to set up his own advertising agency called Alliance Graphique. Serving a wide variety of clientele, during the 1930s, his creations for the Dubonnet wine company were among the first posters designed in a manner that allowed them to be seen by occupants in fast-moving vehicles. His posters are memorable for their innovative graphic solutions and their frequent denotations to such painters as Max Ernst and Pablo Picasso. In addition, he taught graphic design at the École des Arts Décoratifs and then at the École d’Art Graphique. With typography an important part of poster design, the company created several new typeface styles. Cassandre developed Bifur in 1929, the sans serif Acier Noir in 1935, and in 1937 an all-purpose font called Peignot. In 1936, his works were exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City which led to commissions from Harper’s Bazaar to do cover designs. In his later years, Adolphe Mouron Cassandre suffered from bouts of depression prior to his suicide in Paris in 1968. 63
  • 63. Herbert F. (Herb) Lubalin (b. 1918, d. 1981) was a prominent American graphic designer. He collaborated with Ralph Ginzburg on three of Ginzburg’s magazines: Eros, Fact, and Avant Garde, mother & child and was responsible for the creative visual beauty of these publications. He designed a typeface, ITC Avant Garde, for the last of these; this distinctive font could be described as a post-modern interpretation of art deco, and its influence can be seen in logos created in the 1990s and 2000s. 64 Herbert F. (Herb) Lubalin
  • 64. James McMullan (born 1934) is an illustrator and designer of theatrical posters. He is also the author of the book High Focus Drawing and creator of the “High Focus” method of figure drawing. 65 James McMullen
  • 65. Milton Glaser (born June 26, 1929) is a graphic designer, best known for the I Love New York logo,[1] his “Bob Dylan” poster, and the “DC bullet” logo used by DC Comics from 1977 to 2005. He also founded New York Magazine with Clay Felker in 1968. Glaser was educated at New York City’s High School of Music and Art (now Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts), graduated from the Cooper Union in 1951 and later, via a Fulbright Scholarship, the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna under Giorgio Morandi. In 1954 Glaser was a founder, and president, of Push Pin Studios formed with several of his Cooper Union classmates. Glaser’s work is characterized by directness, simplicity and originality. He uses any medium or style to solve the problem at hand. His style ranges wildly from primitive to avant garde in his countless book jackets, album covers, advertisements and direct mail pieces and magazine illustrations. He started his own studio, Milton Glaser, Inc, in 1974. This led to his involvement with an increasingly wide diversity of projects, ranging from the design of New York Magazine, of which he was a co-founder, to a 600 foot mural for the Federal Office Building in Indianapolis. Throughout his career he has had a major impact on contemporary illustration and design and played an influencing role for Howard Milton. His work has won numerous awards from Art Directors Clubs, the American Institute of Graphic Arts, the Society of Illustrators and the Type Directors Club. In 1979 he was made Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and his work is included in the Museum of Modern Art, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Israel Museum and the Musee de l’affiche in Paris. Glaser has taught at both the School of Visual Arts and at Cooper Union in New York City. He is a member of Alliance Graphique International (AGI). 66 Milton Glaser
  • 66. German type and book designer Jan Tschichold (1902 1974) revolutionized modern typography through his bold, asymmetrical designs and use of sanserif typography, both inspired by the work of the Bauhaus. He proclaimed his new design philosophy through a series of articles and books, including Die neue Typographie, published in Berlin in 1928. His international renown came largely as a result of his redesign of Penguin’s entire series of paperback novels just after World War II. Any graphic designer practicing today owes a debt to Tschichold’s innovation. Jan Tschichold: A Life in Typography offers a concise biography of Tschichold, accompanied by numerous examples of his vast body of work. It serves as an introduction to Tschichold for those who are unfamiliar with his influential style, yet for the experienced designer it is an excellent collection of the wide range of his designs. Ruari McLean’s books on graphic design include Modern Book Design (1958) and Typographers on Type (1995). He is also the translator of Tschichold’s The New Typography and the author of various books on Tschichold’s work 67 Jan Tschichold
