I was fortunate to attend a showing of some of Nigel Holmes’ work on display at Stevenson University. So I thought I’d share about him and his works with my readers.
Nigel Holmes is a British graphic designer and theorist, who focuses on information graphics and information design. He received a MA in illustration from the Royal College of Art in 1966. From 1966 to 1977 he worked as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer in London, England for newspapers and magazines. From 1978 to 1994 he went to New York working for Time Magazine to design so called "explanation graphics" for the magazine. In that time he also continued other work as freelance designer, lecturer, and authored a book on "Wordless diagrams".
After a sabbatical in 1994 in 1995 he started his own illustration company, working for clients as Apple, Fortune, Nike, The Smithsonian Institution, Sony, United Healthcare, US Airways and Visa. He also continues to create illustrations and graphics for Harper’s, The New York Observer and The New York Times, among others. - Source: Wikipedia
