Stephen Colbert presents 2010 National Design Award for Communication to Stephen Doyle

The Award for Communication Design recognizes the impact of design on the ways that we look, read, and think.

Stephen Doyle gives words a deeper meaning in graphic form, resulting in an intelligent, provocative body of work. His clients include The New York Times, AIGA, Vanity Fair, and the publisher Alfred A. Knopf. He has helped to brand Martha Stewart and has developed a new identity program for Barnes & Noble.

Stephen Doyle, creative director, is the winner of the National Design Award for Communication for 2010. He lectures frequently here and abroad, talking about where ideas come from...and where they go. Previously at M&Co., Rolling Stone and Esquire, he's a member of AIGA, and was elected to the Alliance Graphique Internationale in 1995. Stephen teaches in the graduate program at The School of Visual Arts and has taught at Yale, The Cooper Union and NYU.
