Richard Eckersley Dies at 65

It’s an all-Heller morning here at UnBeige but this time on a solemn note: Nebraska-based graphic designer Richard Eckersley has died and Steven Heller has written his thoughtful obituary.

Eckersley was born into a family of graphic designers in England and worked as a junior at Lund Humphries, which published the now-cult-classic Typographica magazine. He was in the US only one year before he took a job at the University of Nebraska, where he had lived since 1981.
