Rodrigo Corral Appointed Creative Director of Farrar, Straus and Giroux
This just in: star graphic designer Rodrigo Corral has been appointed creative director of Farrar, Straus and Giroux (FSG), according to a statement issued today by president and publisherJonathan Galassi. Corral is no stranger to FSG, having worked in the company’s art department from 1996 to 2000 after graduating from the School of Visual Arts. He begins in his new post early next month and will continue to run Rodrigo Corral Design, the nine-year-old studio behind such memorable book covers as those for James FreyA Million Little Pieces, a shelf of Chuck Palahniuk novels, Debbie Millman‘s smashing How to Think Like a Great Graphic Designer, and Jay-Z‘s recent memoir-cum-lyrical codex, Decoded, for which Corral dispensed with the glamour shot and featured one of Andy Warhol‘s Rorschach paintings.
