Ed Fella (born 1938) is an artist, educator and graphic designer whose work
has had an important influence on contemporary typography. He practiced
professionally as a commercial artist in Detroit for 30 years before receiving an
MFA in Design from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1987. He has since
devoted his time to teaching at the California Institute of the Arts and his own
unique self-published work which has appeared in many design publications
and anthologies. In 1997 he received the Chrysler Award and in 1999 an
Honorary Doctorate from CCS in Detroit. His work is in the National Design
Museum and MoMA in New York.

Mr. Fella’s talk will occur immediately following Cal Poly Art and Design

design visionary. Please help the Cal Poly Art and Design Department
