Walter Herdeg, who edited the magazine alone for over forty years and more thab 240 issues of the magazine, established a standard of excellence that helped define the post-war design aesthetic and scene. His long-standing commitment to expose the work of designers and illustrators from all over the world made Graphis a seminal force in shaping design culture. Everyone aspired to be showcased by him, and designing the Graphis cover was considered a true triumph.
