Rob Roy Kelly
Rob Roy Kelly developed some of the best graphic design programs at schools nationwide, many of which became a blueprint for programs at other schools. These schools were influenced by his innovative ideas on formalism, teaching, and curriculum development. Kelly had a disciplined and unflinching vision of what constitutes excellence in teaching graphic design.
Kelly’s education began at the University of Nebraska under the G.I. Bill in 1946. His grades began to drop and he went to the Minneapolis School of Art in 1948. After completeing his BFA, Kelly decided to go to graduate school. He initially settled on Cooper Union, but after discovering Cooper Union did not have a graduate program, decided to attend Yale University. After graduating from Yale, Kelly returned to the Minneapolis School of Art where he established the graphic design program in 1957.
