Speaker Jay Rutherford
Jay Rutherford, left-handed guitarist and typographer, teacher, researcher, and fighter of lost causes, was born in 1950 into a family of sign painters and opticians. Following in the footsteps of a copywriter/designer uncle ( black sheep of the family), he studied graphic design and visual communications, worked for other designers ( bad idea), operated his own studio (better idea), and now teaches at the Bauhaus University Weimar (best idea yet).
