I am Robin B. Katz, a graphic designer who believes “visual vocabulary” is as intriguing 
as a good movie, meal or wine. It is a snippet of color, a typeface of simplicity, a great ad... 
anything that catches one’s eye. My students at Chicago Portfolio School surprise me each week 
with what they find for visual vocabulary.
