Paul Rand - A Tribute Site

I found this over at Grain Edit , and being that Paul Rand is one of my favorite designers of all time, I had to repost it. Check out this great tribute site to Paul Rand. The site is loaded with samples of Paul’s work including posters, logos, packaging and more.

A Conversation with Paul Rand

A conversation with one of my favorite designers, Paul Rand. A short film by Preston McLanahan interviewing Paul Rand, the great American Modernist designer. Filmed in 1996, shortly before his death he talks about his process, art, aesthetics, and design in general.

Paul Rand - Animated Video

A work of art is realized when form and content are indistinguishable. When form predominates, meaning is blunted; but when content predominates, interest flags. But the genius comes in when both of these things fuse.” - Paul Rand

Wise words from a design genius. The Paul Rand video above is filled with nice little quotes like this. The video also brings to life some of his well known logos and illustrations. Who wouldn’t want to see Sparkle and Spin animated? nuff said
