| Kevin Rau earned his Bachelor of Science in Art and Master of Fine Arts degrees from the University of Wisconsin Madison. His Masters thesis exhibit, "UNIMARK INTERNATIONAL—A History of the World's Largest Design and Marketing Firm, 1964–77," reflects Kevin's interests in graphic design history and the continuing influence of modernism on the design of buildings, furniture, products, and printed materials.
The UNIMARK exhibit's Chicago premiere was sponsored by the Society of Typographic Arts at the Northern Illinois University Gallery, where Kevin was honored to present with Professor Jan Conradi, State University of New York at Fredonia and UNIMARK co-founder Massimo Vignelli. The exhibit found a second home at Chicago's esteemed Institute of Design. An online version may be seen at www.unimark-international.com. Kevin is also co-authoring a book about UNIMARK with Professor Conradi.
Kevin is former design director for New Jersey's Fairleigh Dickinson University. He has been employed in the graphics industry since 1979, and has operated his own design studio, rauhaus, in Oshkosh since 1997. His client list includes Sony Electronics, Shelcore Toys, Seton Hall University, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Wisconsin Bankers Association, and Culver's Restaurants, among many others. He has won several awards in national design competitions.
