A former resident of the beautiful city of San Francisco, Nigel French is currently based in England, from whence he hails and where he works as a freelance graphic designer, trainer, and aspiring artist. His obsession with photographing type, especially mid-century American signage, seems to be getting worse. Lately he has taken to organizing his images into themed books and posters.

Nigel is the author of a book about Photoshop that no one reads and InDesign Type: Professional Typography with Adobe InDesign (Adobe Press), as well more than twenty titles in the Lynda.com online training library. He also writes a type-related column for InDesign Magazine.
