“The Alvin Lustig Archive grew out of our admiration for this important modern design pioneer, one that we believe deserved much more attention than what is currently available. As graphic designers, Lustig’s passion for design in all aspects of life resonates with us and influences our own practice… Now, with more than 425 design examples, www.alvinlustig.com is the premier, educational online archive dedicated to the life and work of Alvin Lustig. We hope that you find this site as inspirational and educational as we did when creating it.”

“‘Looking at a company’s homepage is like reading its palm…’ This truism appeared in a recent Business Week article about Yahoo. The author goes on to say that Yahoo’s relatively static, but crowded, homepage suggests infighting beneath, as corporate departments battle it out for lucrative positioning. Too many Fortune 500 homepages suffer from the same malady. They reflect too much of the dysfunction behind the scenes, and not enough of the companies’ intended brand messages.”

“There’s been a lot of talk in ‘design thinking’ circles about how the practice of design needs to do more to inform business. You won’t get any disagreement from me. But I haven’t seen a lot of talk of this being a two-way street. We seem to think business folks should appreciate the value that design brings, but we don’t expect designers to appreciate the value that business brings.”
