Morris Wyszogrod, a friend and associate of rand, noted “He figured that ‘Paul Rand’, four letters here, four letters there, would create a nice symbol, so he became Paul Rand.” Rand was a professor at Pratt, Cooper Union and Yale University. He was inducted into the New York Art Directors Club Hall of Fame in 1972 and designed many posters and corporate identities, which are considered to be “timeless icons” including the IBM, ABC and UPS logos, which are still very prominent today. Rand designed other corporate logos including Enron, an American energy, commodities, and services company based in Houston, TX, Westinghouse, an American manufacturing electric corporation, and Steve Jobs’ NeXT, an American computer company. In 1947, Rand’s book “Thoughts on design” was published, which influenced the idea of graphic design and continues to educate students and professionals today. Rand first made a name for himself as an editorial designer, doing work for magazines such as Esquire, a men’s magazine, and Direction, the first regularly published online news magazine covering geospatial technology.
Beginning as an abstract painter in the 1970s, then a figurative painter in the 1980s, Howard Arkley reconciled these two tendencies in his distinctive take on the suburban motif. Arkley embraced it, when ‘serious’ designers ignored suburbia. He continued to collect out-of-register colour pages from outdated magazines, or lovingly ponder different ways of rendering woodgrain surfaces or rug designs with his reverberating optical and zinging air-brush. With his spray-gun technique Arkley developed different styles or motifs: iridescent grids of dots that seemed to look like a cross between old computer print-outs and disco lights. Arkley even painted these buzzing dots on a suburban Melbourne tram in 1980.

Gavin Proffitt 19 December 2008 Ms.Green Alaska national wildlife Refuge, or ANWR, has always caught the eye of one question; do we drill? ANWR was established in 1923 as 23 million acre’s of land set aside for oil and national security. During the second world war, a bit more land was set aside; this is called Prudhoe Bay, where we currently have gas and oil production. In 1980 more land was given back to the reserve (Wiki). Now the question is- do we drill?
He remained a member throughout his lifetime and served as a director, as did his wife, Virginia. His first published photographs and writings appeared in the club's 1922 Bulletin, and he had his first one man exhibition in 1928 at the club's San Francisco headquarters. It was at Half Dome in 1927 that he first found that he could make photographs that were, in his own words, "...an austere and blazing poetry of the real". Adams became an environmentalist, and his photographs are a record of what many of these national parks were like before human intervention and travel. His first series of technical articles was published in Camera Craft in 1934, and his first widely distributed book, Making a Photograph, appeared in 1935.
