John Madere, an award-winning photographer, has a passion for capturing the mystery of people on film. In his self-promotion, Portraits of Design, Madere gives us a glimpse into the personalities of some of the most recognized graphic designers of our time.
Printed by Sandy Alexander on Mohawk Kromekote, the only “special treatment” used was a dull varnish on the building frame in a portrait of Michael Bierut.
“The varnish let the glossy Kromekote finish shine through as the glass windows. It’s a nice way to show how Kromekote can be dulled down if a designer wanted to get exact photo reproduction without the high gloss,” said Pam McGuire, Mohawk Fine Paper’s www.mohawkpaper.com print production manager.
Designed by Lynda Decker, president and CEO of Decker Design, Portraits of Design was a two-year-long process. Along with the captivating portraits, Madere shares anecdotes of each photo session including Massimo Vignelli’s camera prototype and Chip Kidd’s impressive collection of Batman memorabilia.
