Tiffin may be most well known because of the devastation caused by the flood of 1913; the flood took the lives of 19 people in a disaster that literally reshaped the city. But; it is defined by so much more than tragedy. Tiffin--named after Ohios first governor; Edward Tiffin--was first settled in 1817. The seat of Seneca County has been home to businesses of wide renown: Tiffin Glass; National Machinery; and Ballreichs Potato Chips; among others. Tiffins institutions of higher learning; Heidelberg and Tiffin Universities; and its strong public and parochial school systems reflect a deep commitment to education among the citys residents. Historic figures like Charles Dickens and Thomas Edison; as well as local luminaries such as Josiah Hedges and Gen. William Harvey Gibson; have played a part in forging Tiffins history.

Defending A Profession Just Got EasierBy A CustomerDefending graphic design as a full fledged profession just got a little easier thanks to the continuing efforts of Steven Heller. An ambitious writer whose work is having a monumental effect on the formation of graphic design into a definable profession; Heller continues in this vain as editor of a broad collection of recent articles from the AIGA Journal.The selection of writings in Design Culture cuts a broad path ; touching on corporate identity; design as culture and design education. If you are practicing graphic designer who is beginning to feel unsure about the direction your work is taking; take a break and read a few selections from this book - it will remind you of why you entered the profession in the first place. If you are an educator in the field of graphic design; Hellers compilation provides ample sources for use in spurring debate in the studio environment. And if you are a design student you must buy it! Failure to read this collection during your first year in school may permanently skew your view of the profession. Desktop publishing vs. graphic design - there is a difference and Design Culture will give you insight into what is it.
