Ellen...

What more can I say, but what a wonderful person this Ellen Lupton is! She is like the Redhat of design. DIY advocate. A prolific and interactive Teacher. And she gives things away. Words. Ideas. Digital books. Typefaces, too. She talks to students and tries to get them to have a little more authorship in their designs; for them to create content. I heard her talk about how designers should create art because artists are creating design. She is one of the pivotal graphic designers today and to know her is to be part of contemporary design.
