| Michael Wilson, Design Director |
 |
Wilson is obsessed with ideas, textures, and typography. Drawing inspiration from music, movies, and the city in which he lives, Michael creates images and visual strategies that are often stripped down to their most basic form in order to get through to an audience that is drowning in stimulus. There is always an attention to attitude and personality in his work. After earning his BS from Drexel University, Michael worked for Red Flag Media, where he learned to generate many ideas on stressful publishing deadlines designing Decibel magazine. He has since worked for Guitar World, Guitar Aficionado, Guitar Legends, and Esquire magazines all while maintaining a busy freelance schedule. Enemy of boredom. Advocate of risk. He’s originally from Newport Rhode Island, but he doesn’t live in a mansion or know how to sail. Follow him on Twitter.
