Roger Black
For 40 years, working with magazines like Rolling Stone, newspapers like The New York Times, and web sites like Bloomberg.com, Roger Black has been developing ways to communicate content more effectively. His teams have redesigned Reader’s Digest, Esquire, The Nation (Bangkok) and the Los Angeles Times, to name a few. Last year he redesigned The Washington Post newspaper and the news web site for MIT. This summer, Black is working with a major new digital content group, Nomad Editions, on its launch scheduled for the fall. Nomad is the first customer for Treesaver, an HTML5 app being developed for Roger Black Studio by Filipe Fortes that presents web content in pages that adapt to every screen size. A partner in Ready-Media (a new template-based design service), Font Bureau, and Danilo Black, he works from a small office in New York and has homes in Texas and Florida. Black is a recipient of the distinguished alumni award from the University of Chicago.
