Heinz Klinkon Award Goes to Garret Voorhees
Every year, RIT presents awards to select students who represent specific, former faculty members who made a significant impact on RIT and it’s community of students and faculty. Last week, I was extremely glad to see that Garret Voorhees was awarded the first Heinz Klinkon award.

Okay. So I’ve been looking at this site some more and crying because I haven’t done this stuff yet.
RIT needs a type design seminar/program/something so that design students can take the time to examine typography beyond its basic anatomy and approach it in refreshing ways.
Heinz Klinkon: Man, Myth, Legend
The man who’s constantly referred to for his great stories that he tells or creates has passed. He pushed more than anyone else to generate new ideas and to think about the work you do and to “GO! Go out and do it!”. He taught us more than we know. He will truly be missed, but never forgotten.
Roger Remington: Hardcore Modernist
“The body of theory established within the modernist pedagogical tradition is intrinsically hostile to an historical approach to graphic design.” -Ellen Lupton and Abbott Miller, Design Writing ResearchTherefore… Roger Remington’s selectivity in teaching material (i.e. teaching the class History of Graphic Design and only from the 1920’s to the 1960’s) is not necessarily a representation of arrogance or stubbornness of his own, but rather a transcendence of the modernist philosophy. Roger Remington is simply a hardcore modernist.
