Alan Fletcher (graphic designer)

Alan Gerard Fletcher (27 September 1931 – 21 September 2006) was a British graphic designer and one of the founders of the design studio Pentagram. In his obituary, he was described by The Daily Telegraph as "the most highly regarded graphic designer of his generation, and probably one of the most prolific". Fletcher was noted for use of bold colors and a humorous graphic approach to advertising and branding.

Born in Nairobi, Kenya, Fletcher moved to England at age five, and studied at four art schools: Hammersmith School of Art, Central School of Art, Royal College of Art (1953–1956) and lastly Yale School of Art and Architecture at Yale University in 1956.
