Muriel Cooper / Available at www.draw-down.com / The career of the pioneering designer #MurielCooper whose work spanned media from printed book to software interface. By #DavidReinfurt and #RobertWiesenberger / Muriel Cooper (1925–1994) was the pioneering #designer who created the iconic #MITPress colophon (or logo)—seven bars that represent the lowercase letters “mitp” as abstracted books on a shelf. She designed a modernist monument, the encyclopedic volume The Bauhaus (1969), and the graphically dazzling and controversial first edition of Learning from Las Vegas (1972). She used an offset press as an artistic tool, worked with a large-format Polaroid camera, and had an early vision of e-books. Cooper was the first #designdirector of the MIT Press, the co-founder of the Visible Language Workshop at MIT, and the first woman to be granted tenure at MIT's Media Lab, where she developed software interfaces and taught a new generation of designers. She began her four-decade career at MIT by designing vibrantly printed flyers for the Office of Publications; her final projects were digital.

Typography. Michael Tully. Pick a graphic designer that inspires you, and create a poster in their style. I choose Muriel Cooper, because she uses dimensional typography and bright colors. The first image is the rough draft, and the last image is the final draft.
