Alan Gerard Fletcher (27 September – 21 September ) was a Britishgraphic designer. 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”.
He was considered be one of most influential graphic designers when co-founded Fletcher/Forbes/Gill in the s and Pentagram in the s. Alan Fletcher passed away in September fighting with cancer, just before his death he made donations to his archive to the museum and was very much involved in the planning of this retrospective exhibition.
In the end, i think that Alan Fletcher&#;s work is very good and inspirational to me and im sure all graphic designers around the globe too.
