AND is an award-winning, multi-disciplinary design agency founded by Gail Anderson and Joe Newton. We love solving problems, and we love typography. We also love rainbows and unicorns, but not as much as typography. Go figure.

    Gail Anderson is a designer, writer, and educator who actually has her own Paul Davis portrait—and loves to show it off since she’ll never look that good again.

    From 2002 through 2010, Anderson served as Creative Director of Design at SpotCo, a New York City advertising agency that creates artwork for Broadway and institutional theater. From 1987 to early 2002, she worked at Rolling Stone magazine, serving as associate art director, deputy art director, and finally, as the magazine’s senior art director.

    Anderson is the author of Outside the Box, for Princeton Architectural Press, as well as co-author of ten books on design, typography, and popular culture with Steven Heller. She has written for books, magazines, and blogs, and lectures around the world on all things design.

    Anderson teaches at the School of Visual Arts, and serves as Design Subcommittee Chair on The Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee for the USPS, and on the board for the Type Directors Club. She is the recipient of the 2008 Lifetime Achievement Medal from the AIGA, and her work has been recognized by design organizations including The Society of Publication Designers, TDC, AIGA, The Art Directors Club, Graphis, HOW, Print, and Communication Arts. Anderson is a reformed collector/hoarder who now just looks but no longer buys.
