Item Description
Roberto de Vicq de Cumptich - New York, New York
An award-winning graphic designer, book cover artist, and typographer, Roberto de Vicq de Cumptich was born in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. He came to New York in 1982 to study at Pratt Institute on a painting scholarship.
Mr. de Vicq, who has worked as creative director for Random House and HarperCollins, has a client list that includes Adobe, Alfred A. Knopf, Columbia Records, and MTV. A master of typefaces, he put that aspect of his design genius to work in Men of Letters and People of Substance, published in 2007, in which he assembled typographic elements into portraits of literary figures. His children’s book, Bembo’s Zoo: An Animal ABC Book, was developed as a Christmas gift for his daughter.
