Commercial Article the publication, is a bi-product of Commercial Artisan the studio. It is our small attempt to represent a history that might otherwise go undocumented and connect it to the larger graphic design world. Our interest in design history — particularly regional design history, has prompted us to take a look at figures in Indiana graphic design who have been overlooked or under-appreciated. The second issue is a profile of Fred Bower, a tenured professor in the visual communications program at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. In addition to his long academic career, Fred has pursued many individual design interests. Chief among them is the creation of the Morgan Museum of Cultural Phenomenon — a museum with no physical presence that exists as a creative outlet for a wide array of Fred’s personal projects.
