Description

Muriel Cooper (1925-1994) was a pioneering graphic designer whose innovative work transformed design across print, interface, and digital media. This generously illustrated volume in colour traces her groundbreaking career, from creating the iconic MIT Press colophon-seven bars representing the lowercase letters 'mitp' as abstracted books on a shelf-to designing the modernist masterpiece The Bauhaus (1969) and the graphically dazzling first edition of Learning from Las Vegas (1972). Cooper's experimental approach to design included using an offset press as an artistic tool and working with large-format Polaroid photography, blending traditional and emerging technologies. Published by MIT Press, this comprehensive biography celebrates a designer who bridged the gap between conventional graphic design and cutting-edge digital interfaces, influencing generations of creative professionals.
