‘It’s not the object, it’s knowing the nuances of different shapes and letters that’s a big part of being a graphic designer, and that will go on forever.’Morag Myerscough

‘The symbol Allan Fleming created for CN was like a train driving Modernist design straight through the 1960s in Canada and beyond.’

‘I joined a group of abstract painters, so I was influenced by them – and that mixed with the Swiss approach to make my flavour.’Wim Crouwel Eye
