List members who work with design/art archives may be interested in a talk at the Information Design Association, by Dr Sue Perks (Graphic Design Theory at the University for the Creative Arts) and myself on 'Building the Diagram Archive: celebrating the life and design work of Bruce Robertson' on the 19th November, 6pm, (in London)
Bruce Robertson was the Managing Director of book design and packaging company Diagram Visual Information, and sadly passed away in March 2014. Since 1960 Diagram has been acknowledged as the leading creator of informative charts and diagrams for books of their time and many designers and artists have been trained in their studios. http://www.diagramgroup.com/diagram_about%20us.htm
In 2013 Bruce kindly donated his archive of artwork, correspondence, and back catalogue of books to University for the Creative Arts. This talk will explore the significance of Bruce's methods of graphic explanation seen through artefacts from the archive.
