Willy Fleckhaus Revolutionizes Editorial Design
From magazines and newspapers to books and album covers, German art director Willy Fleckhaus (1925-1983) may have been the best editorial designer of all time. He's certainly been the source of admiration and inspiration throughout my career. Fleckhaus’s striking designs are energized by his expert use of the grid, his superb manipulation of white space, and his dynamic typographic compositions. To preserve and celebrate Fleckhaus' work, designer and author Carsten Wolff created the excellent online archive and forum "Fleckhaus Now," and I was honored to be asked to contribute the inaugural essay to the section called "Voices."
