Fritz Kredel
Fritz Kredel ( born February 8, 1900 in Michel city, Odenwald, † June 12, 1973 in New York ) was a German graphic designer and illustrator.
He studied at the Technical School Offenbach (now College of Design ) with Prof. Rudolf Koch typography and graphics.
His work is typical of the traditional tendencies in Offenbach's school at that time. This line he retains even after his emigration in 1936 in the United States. Although successful in Germany (eg for series - island library ), only succeeds in New York City the breakthrough.
