From humble beginnings in a small Texas town eight decades
ago comes legendary typographer, logotype designer, author,
and teacher Doyald Young. As elegant as his script fonts and
as wise as his set of Oxford English dictionaries, Young sets
the standard for his craft. Friend and designer Stefan Bucher
describes Young as "someone who could easily have done what
he does in the Renaissance, and could easily do it 300 years
from now." In this installment of Creative Inspirations, we
enjoy a window into the life of this accomplished artisan as
he works with joyous focus in his favorite spot, his drawing
table. We follow Young to Art Center College of Design in
Pasadena where he shares his talents with tomorrow's designers.
He recalls the hundreds of iterations he went through in
creating the logo for Prudential, and he puts pencil to tissue
creating the pages for his next book about script lettering,
Learning Curves. Young's story is compelling, captivating, and
most of all, inspiring.
