In 1958, he was appointed aesthetic consultant and designer at Artifort. His contribution shifted Artifort’s focus to the top of the international market.

Wim Crouwel AGI Membership – 1957 / International President 1980-1983. Studied fine art (1946-49) at the Academy Minerva in Groningen. Joined an exhibition design firm (1962) where he gained his first experience in graphic design. Inspired by Swiss design, he started a freelance practice in Amsterdam (1964). In 1956 Crouwel set up a studio with industrial designer Kho Liang Ie; they collaborated on 3D and graphic design projects. He experimented with letterforms, graphic systems and a rigorous examination of the grid. During the 50s he met with leading Swiss colleagues and witnessed the emerging International Style. Became the first general secretary of Icograda (1963). In that year with Benno Wissing, Friso Kramer and the Schwarz brothers he founded the first multi-disciplinary Dutch design group, Total Design, which was to become a dominant force in the Netherlands. He designed the standard Dutch postage stamps and produced extensive work for the Stedelijk Museum (1964-85). Wim extended the grid to become a matrix within which he constructed his New Alphabet.
