Paul Rand
is an American graphic designer. He was born on August 15, 1914. He lived in
Peretz Rosenbaum, in Brooklyn, New York. Growing up in America at that time and
with his strict upbringing, he hadn’t much of a chance to follow his creative
urge. With virtually no avenues for him to follow, he found creative outlets
where he could – painting signs for his father’s store and doing work for his
schools special events. A career in art was certainly not viewed as one that
could support a family and not one a Jewish family, especially an Orthodox one
in post-World War l America would encourage. Considering the rampant
anti-Semitism of the time, such careers were unheard of.
