Step Inside Design calls Marc English â€œthe Johnny Cash of AIGAâ€, referring to him as â€œteacher, preacher, shaman, showman.â€ The 20th anniversary issue of HOW listed him as one of â€œ20 Designers Weâ€™d Like to Have a Beer With.â€ Why is that? Come and find out. English has built his reputation by creating a body of work that focuses on identity â€” the heart and soul of any individual, institution or corporation and is author of Designing Identity: Graphic Design as Business Strategy, and last spoke in OKC hot on thet heels of the bookâ€™s release in â€™98.

Englishâ€™s work can also be found in the collections of the Museum fÃ¼r Kunst und Gewerbe, Hamburg, Germany, the Merrill C. Berman Collection, New York, and the Universidad AutÃ³noma Metropolitano, MÃ©xico City.

English has served as a director of the AIGA, and as President of both the Boston and Austin chapter. He is also a member of the Massachusetts College of Art National Alumni Council and sits on the board of directors of the Austin Film Society. English has taught at the university level for more than a decade, in Boston and Austin, and currently teaches graduate studies at the Academy of Art University, in San Francisco. He continues to travel and lecture frequently, and was the first U.S. designer to speak at both Guatemala and Tijuanaâ€™s premier design conferences.
