Richard Smith is a founding director of cross-media design consultancy Jannuzzi Smith, which is based in London and Lugano. He studied with Michele Jannuzzi at the Royal College of Art in London, where he received a Masters degree. He is author of Dotlinepixel (published by GCE), recognised by AIGA’s Sandy Wheeler as “this little gem… a wellspring of some of the most innovative thinking and graphic communication found anywhere”.
He has taught as a visiting lecturer at various leading Universities since 1993, including Central Saint Martins in London, Brighton University and Scuola Universitaria Professionale della Svizzera italiana (SUPSI), Lugano. He has sat on a number of design juries for D&AD, including as jury foreman in the Interactive and Digital Media category and has been a speaker and panelist at events including Swiss Graphic Design: The Origins and Growth of an International Style, hosted by Central Saint Martins at the Cochrane Theatre, London. His work has been awarded a prestigious Yellow Pencil from D&AD and Silver Cube from ADC, New York.
His work has been exhibited internationally, notably as part of Communicate, a major retrospective of independent British graphic design, staged by the Barbican Gallery in London in 2004, which then toured Europe and China, and more recently in GraphicsRCA: Fifty Years and Beyond, a major exhibition in 2014 revealing the rich history of graphic design at the Royal College of Art.
Richard is also on the Board of the Crystal Palace Park Trust, and is their Communications Working Group Lead.
Richard was proposed for membership by Peter Hale and seconded by Becky Chilcott.
