To wrap up the annual American Institute of Graphic Arts Louisville Design Week, AIGA medalist Michael Bierut delivered a keynote speech at the Speed Art Museum.

While working under the world-famous Vignelli, also an AIGA medalist, Bierut said that even though he was the lowest man on the totem pole, he was treated with nothing but respect.

“If you were a designer – even the lowest of the low, like me – Massimo (Vignelli) treated you with a huge amount of respect,” Bierut said in an essay.
