wow, what a nice tribute, Jeff. I would have liked to meet Mr. Tharp. Sounds like he was a great guy, both extremely talented and a lot of fun. What a shame to lose him before his time. -

I consider it a true privilege to be one of the many that met Rick at "The Design Conference That Just Happens To Be In Park City", in 1999, as a budding Design Student. He was a genuine smart ass (meant in a good way.) =) What a great designer, he will be sorely missed, I am truely in shock, as I sit here typing this. =\
Great Tribute Jeff.Comment

Truly a great tribute, Jeff. I, too, am saddened by the loss of Mr. Tharp. He was one of my design heroes and will be greatly missed.Comment

Thanks morea, DesignIt and Lonepine. It was an incredibly difficult piece for me to write - and I had only met him once.

Rick Tharp @ Miami
Met Rick at Miami during the summer between freshman and sophomore years. Special person, and extremely intelligent. Even then his imagination was obvious.Originally posted by Jeff Fisher LogoMotives View Post
I cannot imagine what caused him so much grief as to end his life this way, but wanted to thank him for all the laughs in accounting and economics (he wanted these done).
Assume he's looking down on us and making some amusing comments.
Miami was a special place in the early 70's, and Rick was one of the reasons we all made our marks on the world.Comment

Today, 07:35 PMCommented to For anyone wanting to jump the Adobe CC ship...It's funny, I just rebuilt an Quark file into InDesign, popped in here and this is the first thread I see. At this point Quark would do us absolutely no good. And it wouldn't work for me at home.

Today, 07:15 PMCommented to For anyone wanting to jump the Adobe CC ship...It appears Adobe's competition is sensing some blood in the water, Discounted Quark and Corel running ads with CTA's about being "Frustrated with Adobe". This might be shaping up to be the next...
