Jandos Rothstein is an assistant professor of graphic design at George Mason University, where he also serves as coordinator of the design program. In addition to teaching, he takes it to the street (or at least a qualified subscriber list) every month as design director of Governing Magazine, a publication about trends in local and state government.
Rothstein has written broadly on design, illustration and art direction. Articles for Print Magazine include a piece on graphic designers with top-secret security clearances and a profile of book artist Audrey Niffenegger. He's written on illustration at small partisan magazines and the design of credit cards for Voice: The AIGA Journal of Design, and on why saltshakers have holes that are too big for I.D.
He has also written for Design Journal, Illustration 05 and The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists; and is a former contributing writer for The Washington City Paper.
Before joining GMU, Rothstein held the title of art director at Washington City Paper--an alternative newsweekly--for eight years during which time the paper racked up more than 40 awards for visual excellence. He served as design consultant to Washington Monthly, a publication of liberal politics for whom he art directed covers, and implemented a redesign which launched in 2003.
Rothstein has done more than a dozen launches or redesigns including City Paper, Governing, Today's Traveler, Outlook, and the Times chain of newspapers in Southern Illinois.
Rothstein's work has been recognized by The Society of Publication Designers, The Society of News Designers, The Regional Annual, The Association of Alternative Newsweeklies and The Art Director's Club of Metropolitan Washington. As an art director, he has been recognized by American Illustration, The Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles, The Illustrator's club of Washington, Maryland and Virginia and others.
Rothstein is a graduate of Northwestern University and Antioch College. He lives in a stunning but messy house in Arlington Virginia with his wife Jan, and twin daughters, Sarah and Emily. He enjoys pop science, ancient history, 1920s blues, and fine bourbon. His work and writing can be found on www.jandos.com.
