But when Thomas Miller got a job at Morton Goldsholl Associates, one of Chicago’s top design agencies, he was one of the very first Black designers to break into the profession of Graphic Design.

The world could’ve easily missed out on the creative genius of Thomas Miller. But even after being the only Black student enrolled in Ray Vogue School of Art, and getting turned down from job after job, he never gave up on his dream of being a designer.

And when Morton Goldsholl saw his incredible design talent, he hired Miller immediately, ignoring all societal pressures and prejudices.

Miller was responsible for some of Goldsholl’s best-known projects––the Motorola rebranding (c.1961), the Peace Corps logo (c.1961), and (my personal favorite) the award-winning redesign of the 7UP packaging and identity (c.1976), using “effervescence” as inspiration for the new design. 🌟🎨

Wow. So damn good.

Miller enjoyed a successful 35 year career as a graphic designer with Goldsholl’s agency, and spoke very fondly of his experiences there.

So, if you are struggling to find your creative place right now, DON’T GIVE UP.]]> 2023-02-03 00:54:13 UTC https://padlet.com/MrBlock/GraphicDesignPioneers/wish/2466931803 MrBlock https://padlet.com/MrBlock/GraphicDesignPioneers/wish/2466932766 2023-02-03 00:55:14 UTC https://padlet.com/MrBlock/GraphicDesignPioneers/wish/2466932766
