April Greiman, Made in Space
Greiman has helped shaped graphic design in the 20th and 21st centuries. Her Gold Medal from the AIGA is just one of many honors. She is fascinated by space and scale. Her work, characterised by layering and manipulation, proves that a good image is worthy of a number of interpretations. Already an established graphic designer when computers became part of the process, Greiman quickly embraced the technology - primitive though it was at the time. She firmly believes the computer's role should be a visible one; that a piece's origins ought not be masked. In her experience, the computer has lent an element of surprise to the design process, at times even leading it in a whole new direction. Her new office is in the Wurlitzer building in downtown LA. (between 8+9th) taking up the entire 10th floor. madeinspace.la
