Hall Of Femmes: Tomoko Miho

»A designer’s designer. An architect in paper. « The Japanese-American designer Tomoko Miho was a dedicated modernist. Influenced by her Japanese background, she applied spatial solutions to printed matter. Nothing followed a standard format. Tomoko Miho (1931–2012) began her award winning career in the early 1960s. She worked for design firms such as George Nelson and the Center for Advanced Research in Design until establishing her own design firm in New York in 1982. Her broad range of work covers corporate identities, architectural signage, environmental graphics and book and brochure design. In 1993 she received AIGA’s Gold Medal in recognition of her entire career. This book is part of the Hall of Femmes series, books highlighting the work of outstanding women in art direction and design. The other titles in the series are: Ruth Ansel, Lillian Bassman, Carin Goldberg, Paula Scher, Lella Vignelli, Janet Froelich and Mary Shanahan. Hall of Femmes: Tomoko Miho includes an introductory essay by Véronique Vienne, art director, design critic and writer. It is richly illustrated, much of it never previously published.
