Farewell to a Great Master: Morteza Momayez (1936-2005)
The 'Father of Iranian Graphic Design', Morteza Momayez died on Friday, 25 November 2005 in Tehran's Aban Hospital, leaving Iran's art and cultural community to mourn at their great loss. He had been battling prostrate cancer over the past few years. Considered by many to have been the major force behind the development of Iranian contemporary graphic design because of his dedication to the management and promotion of almost all categories of Iranian contemporary visual arts, Morteza Momayez's influence has been monumental.

The Syncopated Image

Since starting out as basic packaging for 33rpm discs in the 1930s, the record cover has become a medium providing a visual accompaniment for the music. And the codes of modernism helped foster the cultural integration of jazz.
With courage, boldness and rebelliousness, in the words of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti and his manifesto, poets and artists at the start of the 20th century invented a relationship of new forms between sound and image. With declamatory effects, poetry broke out of its printed framework and shook up typographic conventions. Images were deconstructed and printed jerkily on the retina. Music magnified the beauty of the industrial revolution, then at its zenith. The new practices and new concepts fell into synchrony, this widening their scope of experimentation.

Design Leadership: Where do you turn for inspiration?
Most of us have mentors who have influenced our approach to design in some way. We would like to know what aspect of a respected designer’s practice tends to inspire you the most.
State your opinion http://www.icograda.org/web/opinion
F R O M P R E V I O U S O P I N I O N
How do you calculate the monetary value of your design?
51% I have a sliding scale depending on the size and type of client.
25% I have a fixed rate based on my costs and overhead.
27% I have a project rate based on what I think the client can afford.
Totals shown may be more or less than 100% due to rounding.
