Thanks for the superb interview of one of the finest graphic designers in the world (and one of the nicest persons as well). I’ve been working with Jodi for over 20 years on a variety of projects and immediately found her to be knowledgeable, easy to work with, multi talented, and understood implicitly what was needed to make an article or book come alive. She was, and is, ‘sympatico’ with subject of cars. Yet I also learned a lot more about Jodi from this interview, so Mark, once again, thanks!
