Series 7. Digital media, 1993-2006
Scope and Contents
This series consists of files representing Emil Antonucci's graphic design projects, as well as his work as a teacher. The files were migrated from hundreds of Antonucci's floppy disks and zip disks. They were created by Antonucci, primarily using Adobe Illustrator, and include a handful of font files that are required to render the designer's original intentions. Files are available to researchers as PDF files upon request. The PDF access copies of the Illustrator files usually render accurately; however, in some cases it might be necessary to use the original Illustrator files. Researchers are advised to view these files in conjunction with physical materials found elsewhere in this collection. Titles in this series do not always precisely match the titles in other parts of this finding aid.
Antonucci's design clients represent a wide range of Catholic religious organizations and schools, as well as secular, largley nonprofit, schools and organizations. Among the design projects are illustrations and book layouts for illustrated editions of The Odyssey, King Lear, Dante's Inferno, and a collection of Ancient Greek myths, illustrations of Blake poems, and artwork for his children's book The Wreathmaker, with Ruth Cullen.
Design files include logos, letterhead, book and newsletter covers and interior pages, posters, fliers, and brochures for clients, artist's book pages, illustrated poems, and spot illustrations for magazines. Other files document Antonucci's business, including invoices, business cards, logos, and annual Christmas cards. A small number of files represent materials Antonucci used in courses he taught at Parsons School of Design.
Also found here is material pertaining to Antonucci's teaching at Parsons, including his teaching curriculum vitae, syllabi and assignments for the courses Communication Design and Advanced Graphic Design: Portfolio Preparation. Documents provide guidance on editorial design, corporate image (logo) design, and web design.
