Article Last Updated: 04/12/2008 03:13:33 AM CDT
Who: Patrick Redmond, creative director/ designer/owner,
Patrick Redmond Design, St. Paul
What: "AGI: Graphic Design Since 1950,"
edited by Ben and Elly Bos
Why: "Design and the graphic arts have become
important to competitive business and the
Minnesota (and global) economy. AGI is the
Alliance Graphique Internationale, a select group
of 360 designers (2007 figures). This beautiful book
features examples of not always beautiful graphic
design, offering three works per designer in
the form of posters, book covers, logos, packaging,
type design and postage stamps, as well as brief
biographical profiles of about 600 designers who
have been AIG [sic] [note: original content submitted
correctly as “AGI” by Patrick Redmond] members
since its founding in 1951.
"New members are nominated by a 'godfather,'
and a jury votes. Even an international reputation
is no guarantee of being accepted. Unlike the
American Institute of Graphic Arts, a 'professional
association for design' with more than 21,000
members and a Minnesota chapter of which
I am a former president, members of AGI
are from 28 countries and six continents.
It is an extraordinary 'club' of highly qualified
designers, not a 'professional organization.'
Many of these designers have a worldwide
reputation and some have gained the status
of 'Olympic Champion.' Much of this high-quality
work has never been included in one volume.
It includes designers with Minnesota connections.
"While this book chronicles an eclectic mix of
international graphic design and designers
over the decades, business people may find
particularly interesting the sections on trademarks,
logos and corporate identity. The essays included
in the 800-page volume provide insights into
the field." “
Compare with the following original version
submitted by Patrick Redmond to Pioneer Press:
The following represents the original February 5,
2008 submission for the St. Paul Sunday
Pioneer Press Business Section "Executive
Read" prior to editing (for space, etc.) by
Pioneer Press.
"Executive Read
Who: Patrick Redmond, M.A.,
Creative Director/Designer/Owner,
PatrickRedmondDesign.com,
St. Paul
What: "AGI: Graphic Design Since 1950"
Edited by Ben and Elly Bos
Why: Design and the graphic arts have
become important to competitive business and
the economy. "AGI" is the "Alliance Graphique
Internationale", a select group of "360 AGI
designers [in 2007], in a world of 6 billion human
beings." This beautiful book features examples of
not always beautiful graphic design [often 3 works,
such as posters, book covers, logos, packaging,
type design, and postage stamps, per designer]
and brief biographical profiles of "some 600
designers who have become members of the
Alliance Graphique Internationale, since the
organization was founded in 1951."
"You cannot apply for AGI, a godfather
proposes you and the international jury votes
you in - or not" and "even an international
professional reputation, in itself, is still no
guarantee" a designer will be accepted to
AGI. Unlike the national "professional
association for design" with more than
21,000 members, AIGA, the American
Institute of Graphic Arts, of which there
is a Minnesota Chapter, a chapter I am
a former president (1979-1980) of, members
of AGI "represent 28 countries on six continents"...
"AGI is an extraordinary 'club' of highly qualified
designers" and is not a "professional organization."
Many of these designers "have gained a reputation
in a wide cultural hinterland over the years" and
"some have acquired the status of 'Olympic
Champion'." "So much work of this high quality
has never before been displayed in one [800-page]
single volume."
While this book chronicles a cross section of
international graphic design - and designers -
over the decades, executives and others in business
may find the sections "The 1960s: Dawn of Graphic
Design" featuring Chase Manhattan(tm), Westinghouse(tm)
and Reuters(tm) logos and "Corporate Identity:
The Designers' Playground of the [20th] Century"
featuring logos and trademarks ranging from Mobil(tm),
the International Woolmark and Paris' Centre Pompidou
to JCPenney(tm) and Esprit(tm) to be of particular interest.
Other essays provide various insights into the field. Of note,
at least two Minnesota-born designers are represented in
this book: Charles Spencer Anderson and the late P. Scott
Makela. Also of note [pr added 04.2008], Andrew Blauvelt,
Design Director and Curator of architecture and design
at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, is a recently elected
member of AGI."

35 Years Ago: Patricia Hampl piece published
in Preview magazine makes connection between
Main Street and Patrick Redmond's work as an
artist-in-residence in Eagle Bend, Minnesota.
Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951) author of the
novel Main Street (1920), a story set in fictional
Gopher Prairie, Minnesota, based on Sauk Centre,
Minnesota, was the first American to be awarded
the Nobel prize in Literature (1930).
Lewis is the subject of the biography
Sinclair Lewis: Rebel from Main Street
by Richard R. Lingeman, a 688-page book
published by Random House; 1st edition
(January 15, 2002), (recently read by
graphic designer, artist, and author
Patrick Redmond, of Patrick Redmond Design).
Eagle Bend is a small town in rural Minnesota,
approximately 35 miles north of Sauk Centre,
Minnesota, on U.S. Highway 71.
Patrick Redmond was Eagle Bend’s
full-time artist-in-residence and a resident
of Eagle Bend during the early 1970s.
Author Patricia Hampl made reference to
both Sinclair Lewis’s Main Street and Patrick’s
work as an artist-in-residence in Eagle Bend in
a feature story she wrote for Minnesota Educational
Radio’s Preview magazine, published 35 years ago.
See Hampl, Patricia. "Self Portrait of a Rural Town,"
Preview, Magazine of Minnesota Educational Radio,
Saint Paul, Vol. 7, No. 3, March 1973, p. 4-5.
[Note: "Minnesota Educational Radio" became
"Minnesota Public Radio"; Preview became
Minnesota Monthly of Minnesota Public Radio.]
Also of note: Patrick Redmond later attended courses
in creative writing and memoir taught by Patricia
Hampl. Among other distinctions, Patricia Hampl
has since become a Regents Professor at the
University of Minnesota.

01.21.07 An open house event at Minnesota Public
Radio celebrating its 40th anniversary took place
Sunday, January 21, 2007. Independent of Minnesota
Public Radio, yet related to the history of MPR,
Patrick Redmond is also celebrating the 40th anniversary
(during 2006-2007) since beginning work in the field
of design. Among many projects for a variety of clients
over the decades, he worked on the design of “A Prairie
Home Album" Garrison Keillor’s first album (in the early 1970s)
for MER, Minnesota Educational Radio, later known as
MPR, Minnesota Public Radio (http://www.mpr.org/).
This may have also been the first appearance,
in print as part of a printed project, of the credit:
“Redmond Design” (on the album jacket reverse side).
In 1973, a cover story about Patrick and his work as an
artist-in-residence in the small, rural Minnesota community
of Eagle Bend, appeared in Minnesota Educational Radio’s
“Preview” magazine [Hampl, Patricia. "Self Portrait of a
Rural Town," Preview, Magazine of Minnesota Educational
Radio, Saint Paul, Vol. 7, No. 3, March 1973, p. 4-5.
Note: "Minnesota Educational Radio" became "Minnesota
Public Radio"; “Preview” became “Minnesota Monthly” of

also worked on the design of the Garrison Keillor album
“A Prairie Home Companion Fifth Anniversary Album”
(first printing; original version with no photo on cover; see
