He is also co-founder of the MFA in Design Criticism, MFA in Interaction Design, MFA Social Documentary Film and MPS Branding programs.

A first-of-its-kind survey of the human body as represented in graphic design. There have been many celebrated volumes published on the history of the nude in classical art, but this will be the first book to cover the nude form and its representation in non-traditional art forms. Coming from Steven Heller and Mirko Ilic, two stars of the design world, this book will be by turns humorous and illuminating, and will be of great interest to professional graphic designers as well as design fans.

Neuware - A beautifully designed flexibound edition that comes in a slipcase, this is a first of it's kind celebration featuring more than 600 examples of the human body as represented in graphic design, this innovative book will appeal to art directors, graphic designers, and design fans. This groundbreaking volume investigates and illuminates a new generation of artists and the ways that they relate to one of art history's most storied traditions: nude figure drawing and painting. This informative (and occasionally very cheeky) book demonstrates the ways in which new mediums and new technologies are pushing graphic designers to previously untold heights of artistic representation, thereby cementing the graphic designer's place alongside more traditional mediums (drawing, painting) in art history and criticism. From PETA's infamous "I'd Rather Go Nude" ad campaign, to John Lennon and Yoko Ono posing nude on the cover ofRolling Stonemagazine,Head to Toefeatures myriad examples of the nude figure and how it is altered and manipulated in the service of both art and commerce.
