A Letter From dailymonster.com's Stefan Bucher

Dear Creatives, If you don't know the first recipients of our freshly minted Visionary Award, Lynda Weinman & Bruce Heavin, you really should get out more. You should also make it a point to check out their magnum opus—the lovingly groomed, ground-breaking and utterly helpful website lynda.com. ( lynda.com, if you must know now, is an online learning company that helps anyone learn software, creative, and business skills to achieve personal and professional goals.) Between the two of them they worked on the cult animated show Duckman, did special effects for a Star Wars movie (one of the good ones), owned and operated a shop on Melrose Avenue that counted Prince among its patrons, created illustrations for Adobe, MSNBC, and Dreamworks, and wrote some of the first books on web design, bestsellers all. Join us on Thursday to find out who did which, and to salute them both for their wide-ranging contributions to the design scene in Los Angeles and beyond.

Meet 2012 AIGA LA Visionary Award Recipients: LYNDA WEINMAN AND BRUCE HEAVIN

AIGA LA is proud to announce Lynda Weinman and Bruce Heavin as a recipient of this year’s new Visionary Award 2012.

The AIGA Los Angeles Visionary Award recognizes an organization or individual whose leadership and innovation has significantly contributed to the design profession in Los Angeles.

Their contributions have generated new opportunities for designers, strengthened the connection between business, society, culture and the design profession and increased the value of design in the community-at-large.

Before launching lynda.com, she was a faculty member at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA, and worked as an animator and motion graphics director in the special effects film industry. Lynda has also been a consultant and conducted workshops for Adobe, Microsoft, Hallmark, and Disney. Lynda, along with her cofounder and husband, Bruce Heavin, evolved lynda.com from its original concept as a free web resource for her students, to the site for her books on web design, to a registration hub for physical classrooms and conferences, to an award-winning online learning company with over one million members.

Bruce Heavin is the cofounder and chief creative officer of lynda.com, a pioneering company in online education.  An illustrator and designer, Bruce oversees the company’s visual branding and style, from creating the company’s now-iconic logo to ensuring that the lynda.com aesthetic reflects its teaching style.

“Some of the software we cover is complicated, and we break it down into simple steps,” he says. “The design needs to echo and support that.” With company cofounder and wife, Lynda Weinman, Bruce coauthored the books Coloring Web Graphics and Coloring Web Graphics.2. He was instrumental in launching lynda.com as an online training resource, broadening its scope to include photography, illustration, and graphic design, and teaching many of its original courses. A graduate of Art Center College of Design, Bruce has created graphics for DreamWorks SKG Interactive and illustrations for Adobe, MSNBC, E! Entertainment Television, and national publications.
