As a graphic designer, I first heard about Ellen Lupton when I was at design school learning typography and her book Thinking with type was a reference.
Ellen is a writer, educator and a great graphic designer with a keen eye for typography and a vast portfolio of work. She is the author of numerous books on graphic design theory and practice, the curator of contemporary design at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City and a professor at the Maryland Institute College of Art she now is one of my preferred designers to follow on instagram.
Known for her prowess in creating engaging storytelling around difficult and sometimes abstract subjects, such as kerning, leading and visual harmony, she uses a playful and entertaining yet clear and intelligent approach, enabling us to easily learn about the intricacies of typography, balance and hierarchy, and so much more, in the very short but captivating reels she directs.
