Looking for a hand-lettered logotype, an anthropomorphic typeface or
large-scale diacritical signs?
Searching for these and other topics is the inspiration for the creation
of The Cooper Union Graphic Design Database, an on-line image database
currently under development at The Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design
and Typography in the School of Art. Funded in part by the National
Endowment for the Arts, the database is intended to preserve and disseminate
material related to the history of graphic design. The project is a component
of the National Graphic Design Archive (NGDA), a pilot program developed
to facilitate the organization of graphic design collections nationwide.
The Design Collection at the Study Center consists of editorial design
produced by Herb Lubalin in the 1960s, promotional items designed by Lou
Dorfsman for the Columbia Broadcasting System and a cross-section of
European and American graphic design produced from the 1950s to the
present. Of the 1700 images scanned from the Design Collection, 600 have
been cataloged. A detailed description of the collection is available on
the Study Center's web site: http://www.cooper.edu/art/lubalin/LBfront.html.
