Earthquakes, Mudslides, Fires & Riots: Making a History of California Graphic Design

 
A tumultuous tale recounting a 10-year effort to publish a kaleidoscopic vision of California’s rich graphic design history, the 416-page outcome, and the aftershocks still to come!  Louise Sandhaus is a graphic designer and educator. She is currently on faculty in the Graphic Design Program at California Institute of the Arts (CalArts).

Her design office, LSD (Louise Sandhaus Design), partners with multiple disciplines to realize interpretive projects from the simple to the complex, regardless of media. Clients include Los Angeles County Museum of Art, UCLA Hammer Museum, City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department, Los Angeles Natural History Museum, Los Angeles World Airports (LAX), and Association of Children’s Museums.

Louise’s work, writing, and writing about her work, have appeared in numerous publications, including The Women of Design, Information Design Handbook, and Metropolis magazine, as well as SEGD journal, Eye, and I.D. Her work is in the permanent collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Louise recently completed her term on the AIGA board and as Chair of the AIGA Design Educators Community steering committee. She received an MFA in Graphic Design from California Institute of the Arts and a Graduate Laureate from the Jan Van Eyck Akademie in The Netherlands.

Her book, Earthquakes, Mudslides, Fires & Riots: California and Graphic Design 1936–1986, was published last year by Metropolis Books.
