”Lou Dorfsman (1918-2008) pioneered a form of total design. CBS, the American broadcasting company, was his employer for 40 years, and was one of the first organizations to fully control its visual output. Dorfsman led an in-house team that was in charge of all advertising, design, signage and on-air promotions. The depth of his commitment and the consistent excellence of the work is clearly in evidence in the pages of ‘Dorfsman & CBS’, a rare design study in microcosm of one person, one company, one career. /…/ The book has two sections. The first ‘The Man and the Company’, records Dorfsman’s career the second, ‘The Work’, is a portfolio of his prodigious output of design.” (100 Classic Graphic Design Books pp. 182-183).
