[edit] Needed Items

Okay, first of all I'm struggling to find a copyright-free picture of Lubalin. Everyone seems to use the AIGA portrait, and I can't figure out who took the picture in the first place.

Second, this article needs a theory section. Lubalin was big into the multiple layers of communicative value you could strike with type, which is most clearly illustrated in his logos (Avant Garde literally moves forward, Families has a family in it, etc) but can be seen elsewhere. Mostly he was taking type as abstract as he thought was possible before you would start to lose meaning, as opposed to the postmodern typographers that shoved type over the edge (another topic that needs more explanation on wikipedia, but whatever).

If anyone wants to start on that I'd be grateful. Otherwise, parse my writing for grammar if you have the time. Thanks! --RadariG 20:10, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
