Hello dear INFORMATION DESIGN students!

I am very sorry not to be with you on the first day of our class. Unfortunately I tested positive for COVID over the weekend.

Fortunately we are very lucky Professor Pat has kindly agreed to fill in during my absence. >>Professor Pat holds an MFA in graphic design from Yale University and has taught typography, data visualization, and cross-cultural design from private institutions to community colleges, and lectured at universities around the world and he is also an alumni of City Tech. So you are in great hands.

I would like to also take a moment to welcome you and introduce myself. I am a communication designer with a focus on information design and illustration. I am principal designer of >>ARTORIUM, a graphic design studio committed to communicating the essentials of complex information quickly, clearly, and appealingly. My recent work has primarily been as a contract artist for scientists at several research organizations.

I can’t wait to meet you all in person! In the meantime I look forward to learning about you here on this blog post.

Sincerely,

Prof. Hitchings
