Steven Heller (design writer)

Steven Heller was born July 7, 1950, in New York City to Bernice and Milton Heller. He attended the Walden School, a progressive prep school on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, as well as military school. In 1968, he enrolled at New York University with a major in English, later transferring to the School of Visual Arts illustration and cartoon program but not graduating from either.

In 1968, he became the art director of the New York Free Press without formal education or credentials because of his leftist leanings, later attending some New York University lectures utilizing his press pass. He met illustrator Brad Holland, who convinced him page layouts and type choices mattered, of which Heller was previously unconcerned. After the Free Press, he moved on to various publications, including the pornography tabloid Screw.{{Cite web|url=http://adcglobal.org/hall-of-fame/steve-heller/|title=Steven Heller|website=ADC • Global Awards & Club|access-date=2019-06-06}}{{Cite web|url=https://magenta.as/how-steven-heller-redefined-the-design-industry-c02aca4d742c|title=How Steven Heller Redefined the Design Industry|last=Aldhahi|first=Mariam|date=2017-02-08|website=Magenta|access-date=2019-06-06}}

In 1974, Heller became the youngest art director for The New York Times Op-Ed page, replacing Jean-Claude Suares. His interest in illustration employed on the Op-Ed page led him to publish collections on the subject. He became the art director of The New York Times Book Review in 1977.

In the 1980s, he became interested in design through friendships with Seymour Chwast and Louise Fili, who he later married, as well as becoming the editor of the AIGA Journal of Graphic Design. Under his lead, the Journal became a place of scrutinized design writing, inviting authors from a variety of professions and supporting the careers of fledgling critics, who documented design writing.

In 2007, he began a transition from his 30-year career at the New York Times. The changes created a lot of stress, and his Parkinson's disease was either triggered or exacerbated.

In the late 1960s, after leaving SVA, Heller was hired to teach a newspaper design class.{{Cite web |date=October 4, 2022 |title=Steven Heller Gets Personal in His New Autobiography Growing Up Underground |url=https://eyeondesign.aiga.org/why-i-write-steven-heller-remembers-growing-up-underground/ |access-date=October 4, 2022 |website=AIGA Eye on Design}}

In 1984, he helped create the master's program for illustration at the School of Visual Arts. In 1998, Heller and Lita Talarico co-founded the MFA Design Program, the school's first graduate program in design. In 2008, Heller co-founded SVA's MFA in Design Criticism program (D-Crit) with Alice Twemlow. The program was intended to help non-designers find a place in the design field.

As of 2019, he served on the faculty of the School of Visual Arts(SVA) as co-chair of the MFA Design Department, special assistant to the president, and co-founder of the MFA Design Criticism, MPS Branding, MFA Interaction Design, MFA Products of Design programs.{{Cite web|url=http://www.sva.edu/faculty/steven-heller|title=School of Visual Arts {{!}} SVA {{!}} New York City > Faculty|website=www.sva.edu|access-date=2019-06-06}} Heller's pupils have included Deborah Adler.{{cite web|url=https://www.aiga.org/aiga/content/tools-and-resources/womens-leadership/women-lead-supporter-interview-series-deborah-adler/|title=Women Lead supporter interview series: Deborah Adler|access-date=28 May 2018}}

In 2024, he and Talarico retired as co-chairs of SVA's MFA Design Program, succeeded by Randy J. Hunt.

In 1996, he was inducted into the Art Directors Club Hall of Fame. In 1999, Heller received an AIGA Medal for what designer Paula Scher described as "lifetime achievement that comes from a workday existing roughly between 4:30 and 8:45 A.M. before a full workday at the New York Times Book Review."{{cite web |last1=Scher |first1=Paula |title=Steven Heller |url=https://www.aiga.org/medalist-stevenheller |website=AIGA |access-date=26 March 2019}} The Society of Illustrators honored Heller with the Richard Gangel Art Director Award in 2005.{{Cite web|url=https://www.societyillustrators.org/steven-heller|title=Steven Heller {{!}} Society of Illustrators|website=www.societyillustrators.org|access-date=2019-06-06}} In 2017, the AIGA named an award, the Steven Heller Prize for Cultural Commentary, in his honor, citing his three decades of contributions to cultural discourse on design.{{cite web |title=Steven Heller Prize for Cultural Commentary |url=https://www.aiga.org/steven-heller-prize |website=AIGA |access-date=26 March 2019}} In 2011, was awarded the Design Mind Award by the National Design Museum.{{Cite web|url=https://www.cooperhewitt.org/2011/12/09/2011-national-design-awards-design-mind-award-steven-heller/|title=2011 National Design Awards: Design Mind Award – Steven Heller |date=2011-12-09|website=Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum|access-date=2019-06-06}}

Heller has said he writes so that he "can further discover and share what I've learned with others" and as a way to study topics he is curious about, notably the emergence of right- and left-wing tyrannies and pre-World War II totalitarianism. The subjects he writes about are seen through the lens of graphic design and are motivated by not being able to sleep and how design manipulates and communicates.

Heller is author and co-author of many works on the history of illustration, typography, and many subjects related to graphic design. He has published more than eighty titles and written articles for magazines including Affiche, Baseline, Creation, Design, Design Issues, Design Observer, Eye, Graphis, How, I.D., Oxymoron, Mother Jones, The New York Times Book Review, Print, Speak, and U&lc magazine. For thirty-three years Heller was a senior art director of U&lc magazine, a publication devoted to typography.

Heller has written, co-authored, and/or edited more than 130 books about design and popular culture. He worked with Seymour Chwast to create Push Pin Editions and more than 20 books for Chronicle Books with his wife, Louise Fili.{{Cite web|url=http://www.designersandbooks.com/designer/bio/steven-heller|title=Steven Heller|website=Designers & Books|access-date=2019-06-06}}
