Introduction Jordan Cordone

Hi everyone,

My name is Jordan Cordone, senior at Albertus graduating in December. I am graduating with a Business Management degree but hope to use this in the restaurant ownership business. I always enjoyed photography and graphic design as a hobby so thats why I am taking this course. My boyfriend owns a small pizza restaurant so I work there full time where I manage the front but during the week days I may pizzas, pretty fun job if you ask me.  Below I attached a photo of me and some of the pizzas I have recently made!

Master Graphic Designer #4- Nedim Kufi- Matthew Jablon

Born 1962, in Baghdad, Nadim Kufi is an Iraqi-Dutch multi disciplinary visual artist. He studied at the Baghdad Institute of Fine Arts, where he graduated in 1985. Kufi served in the Iraqi military during the Iran-Iraq War. He was deeply affected by the atrocities he witnessed during the war.

His work typically contains some autobiographical elements. As previously mentioned, Kufi is a multi-disciplinary artist, who does work as a painter, graphic designer and print maker.

Graphic designer #8 Louise Fili / Crystal

Louise Fili

I have chosen to write about the Italian American graphic design artist Louise Fili. Louise Fili was born in New Jersey, and she was interested in graphic design very early in her life. Even as a child she carved letterforms into book covers, and she was able to teach herself calligraphy using a speedball guide. She then went on to attend Skidmore College in New York to study art. She received a Bachelor of Science in Studio Art. After college she did freelance designing on special book project, and at the age of 25 she became senior designer for Herb Lubalin. This was when she learned that type was a very expressive tool, which is why she began using it more. In 1989 she opened her own studio, which specialized in the design of restaurant identity, food related logos, and packaging.

Graphic designer Susan Kare #7/ Crystal

Susan Kare

            Susan Kare is a graphic designer who was born February 5th, 1954. In her early life she was introduced to typography and graphic design by the museum owner who she worked for. She then went on to graduate with a Bachelors in art from Mount Holyoke College. She even went on to get a PHD at New York University. After college she moved to San Fransisco and received a job at a museum. She would then go on to get a call from a high school friend about working for Apple, and she then became a member of the original macintosh team which is an amazing feat as she is the designer of many typefaces, icons, and original marketing materials for the original macintosh operating system. Kare was an early pioneer for pixel art. She went on to make the Chicago typeface which is the most prominent user interface typeface in the classic Mac Os systems from system 1.

Graphic designer #6 kate moross / Crystal

Kate Moross

            I decided to pick Kate Moross and the reason was that she is a more recent female graphic designer. Kate Moross is a graphic designer, illustrator, and art designer who was born in London in 1986. She is recognized for her typographic illustrations. At the young age of only 26 she was able to achieve a good amount in her career, she is now the current art director of Studio Moross. Usually her designs follow a certain pattern that involves a good amount of 3 sided shapes, illegible typography, and she also has love for freeform lettering. She went on to go to college after highschool at Camberwell University of The Arts where she received a Bachelor's degree in Art. One achievement she has, while studying she opened her own record label called Isomorph Records, and the goal was to examine the dynamic between music and design.
