Mike Perry

This graduate of Minneapolis College of Art and Design is a doer, maker, designer, illustrator, and author. His book Hand Job celebrates the life of hand-lettering in contemporary design. He worked on staff for Urban Outfitters and now runs his own studio in Brooklyn, NY. His work is featured in the exhibition Graphic Design: Now In Production. A frequent visitor to MICA’s GD MFA program, Perry says, “Process is very important. I have always believed in the generating of piles, and I look at the process of ‘making’ like exercise. The more you exercise the stronger you become. Needless to say I do a lot of making for its own sake.”

New Book by MICA

GD MFA students and faculty have published a series of books about design in partnership with Princeton Architectural Press. Our latest title, Graphic Design Thinking, was released in Summer 2011. It was written, designed, and produced by GD MFA students enrolled in the Publishing Workshop course.
