Ned Irvine is a graphic designer and graphic
artist. His current practice assists educational and cultural clients
with their printed communications. Before returning to teaching full
time, Irvine worked in publishing design for clients such as McGraw-Hill
and Global Finance Magazine. He also worked in software development
for clients including the National Geographic Society and corporate
communications for clients such as Red Hat, Quintiles Transnational
Corp., Central Carolina Bank, Tryon Palace Historic Sites & Gardens,
as well as exhibition and multimedia projects for the North Carolina
Museum of Art.
Since coming to Wilmington, Irvine has worked with UNCW faculty by
designing the journal Studies in American Naturalism and
a book cover for colleague Dr. Amy Kirschke. His recent interest in
artist books led to a fellowship with the Penland School of Crafts
to study letterpress printing and the development of a new artist
bookmaking course. It has also led to book publishing projects with
the Cameron Art Museum.
Irvine is interested in the history of design and how it can be used
to understand culture, and how graphic design re-invents itself. Collaboration
is at the heart of his love of design: working in the intersections
between art and graphic design. This is where he finds the most interesting
clients and areas of study and inspiration. |
