Simplicity is not the goal. It is the by-product of a good idea and modest expectations.

\nBiography<\/h2>\n
Paul Rand<\/strong> (August 15, 1914 \u2013 November 26, 1996)
\nPaul Rand was an American art director and graphic designer, best known for his corporate logo designs, including the logos for IBM, UPS, Enron, Morningstar, Inc., Westinghouse, ABC, and NeXT. He was one of the first American commercial artists to embrace and practice the Swiss Style of graphic design.<\/p>\nRand was a professor emeritus of graphic design at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut where he taught from 1956 to 1969, and from 1974 to 1985.[1][2] He was inducted into the New York Art Directors Club Hall of Fame in 1972.<\/p>\n
Early life and education
\n<\/strong>Paul Rand was born Peretz Rosenbaum on August 15, 1914 in Brooklyn, New York.[3] He embraced design at a very young age, painting signs for his father’s grocery store as well as for school events at P.S. 109.[4] Rand’s father did not believe art could provide his son with a sufficient livelihood, and so he required Paul to attend Manhattan’s Haaren High School while taking night classes at the Pratt Institute. Rand was largely “self-taught” as a designer, learning about the works of Cassandre and Moholy-Nagy from European magazines such as Gebrauchsgraphik.”[5] Rand also attended Parsons The New School for Design and the Art Students League of New York.[1]<\/p>\n
