Elaine Lustig Cohen was a female graphic designer in the middle of the last century. She learned her craft under the tutelage of her first husband as she aided him in his graphic design business as he slowly went blind due to his diabetes. So I was tasked with creating a magazine celebrating Elaine's rise and excellence in the field of graphic design. Helpfully, there is an entire website dedicated to archiving Elaine's work, and a few interviews that she gave over the years. In order to use this treasure trove as a source for images and information, they simply ask for credit to be given them. The website is https://elainelustigcohen.com © 2023 Estate of Elaine Lustig Cohen. All rights reserved. Kindly do not reproduce, distribute, display or create derivative works of any of the text, images or other content appearing here without crediting this website and Elaine Lustig Cohen. You can see my process as chronicled on drop mark here.
The dimensions of the magazine come in at 8.5 x 11 inches. Here you can see the front and back cover, the tones used in the photo of Elaine were sampled from one of her art pieces.
Here is a sample spread with a pull quote!
Here are some more fun spreads. Including some glimpses at the front matter.
This is the colophon of the book.
Feel free to flip through the finished book at your leisure.
