Mirko Ilic has a reputation as a rebel; but his iconoclasm is matched with tremendous gifts as an illustrator; a designer; and an educator. Ilic is a visionary and a leading voice of visual culture across disciplines and continents.This visual biography of one of the most prolific and distinguished designers of the last half century traces Ilics formative years as a precocious youth in Yugoslavia during the Communist-bloc era; his early illustrations for comic books and magazines; and his eventual move to the United States; where he quickly achieved notoriety as the art director of Time magazines international edition and The New York Times op-ed pages. As a designer; Ilic has constantly pushed his craft to new limits; experimenting and reinventing himself at every turn.Throughout his illustrious career; Ilic has collaborated with design luminaries like Steven Heller and Milton Glaser. He has designed album covers for Rage Against the Machine; created film titles for Youve Got Mail; and written or designed a number of books; including Genius Moves; The Design of Dissent; The Anatomy of Design; and Stop Think Go Do.He has taught advanced design classes at Cooper Union with Milton Glaser and now teaches illustration at the School of Visual Arts. His studio; Mirko Ilic Corp.; has received awards from the Society of Publication Designers; the Art Directors Club; I.D.; Print; and HOW.

The Beautiful and the DamnedBy tom deeganCorrections and Collections will make you think twice about the architecture of institutions--jails and museums-- that anchor both ends of our urban landscape...and what they oddly have in common. The scope of this work is focused on America; but goes global with comparisons with how other cultures deal with fine art and first offenders. Great read!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Handy little device.By Georgia CongreveGreat product.
