Paul Elliman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Elliman (1961) is a London-based designer whose work and writing explores the mutual interests of technology and language. He describes his design work with typefaces, test-patterns and even the human voice as emphasizing the rough, material edges of new technology. His work has been exhibited at the Tate Modern in London and included in collections by the British Council, London's Victoria and Albert Museum and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York.^{[citation needed]} He is a visiting critic at Yale University School of Art, New Haven, and is thesis supervisor at the Werkplaats Typographie in Arnhem, Netherlands. Paul Elliman has contributed essays to several magazines and journals including IDEA, Eye, and Dot Dot Dot.
