My Take
Fred Seibert is the rare behind-the-scenes figure whose fingerprints are all over a cultural revolution. A New Yorker who never graduated from Columbia, he started as a jazz and blues record producer with a Grammy nomination before becoming MTV's first creative director in 1981. To help define the visual identity of a network that reshaped a generation is no small feat, and the AIGA Medal confirms his stature in design. I have always admired the people who build the stage on which stars shine rather than standing on it themselves. Seibert was a true architect of modern media culture.
