Joel Anderson, the founder of Anderson Design Group, graduated from Ringling School of Art & Design in 1986. After graduation, he was recruited to work as a staff illustrator and designer at Carden & Cherry Advertising in Nashville, TN. In 1993, Joel and his friend David Thomas founded Anderson Thomas Design, Inc. The firm focused on CD package design at first, and quickly grew into a diverse print & web design company with a client list including Universal Studios, MCA Records, DreamWorks Pictures, Golden Books, Hasbro, Macy's, Uinta Brewing, Coors, Chrysler, Denny's, and Harper Collins. In 2007, Joel reorganized the design firm as Anderson Design Group, Inc., narrowing the studio's focus to specialize in illustration and poster design. Their romantic, hand-illustrated style strikes a chord with customers and clients alike, pushing them to explore and practice their craft as graphic artists. With over 1,500 designs and counting, they are continuing the grand tradition of the Golden Age of Poster Art for a whole new generation.
