Stefan Sagmeister, Bill Drenttel, Jessica Helfand Among 2013 AIGA Medalists

Frederic Goudy had one, so did Philip Johnson and Robert Rauschenberg. The Eameses had two. Pentagram is awash in them. George Lois wears his to bed. We’re talking about AIGA Medals, the graphic design world’s highest honor. Allow us to be the first to tell you this year’s banner crop of medalists: John Bielenberg, William Drenttel and Jessica Helfand, Jonathan Hoefler and Tobias Frere-Jones, Stefan Sagmeister, Lucille Tenazas, and Wolfgang Weingart. Read on for AIGA’s citations of each design star, who receive their James Earle Fraser-designed medals on April 19 at the AIGA Awards in NYC.
