Who are we

Founded by Richard Coyne and Robert Blanchard in 1959, Communication Arts magazine is the primary source of inspiration for graphic designers, art directors, design firms, corporate design departments, advertising agencies, interactive designers, illustrators, and photographers (all those involved in visual communication). Compared to any other creative publication, people engaged in visual communication seek more ideas and inspiration from the art of communication. CA's editorials, feature articles, and annual competitions provide new ideas and information while promoting the highest professional standards in the field.

Now, we have gone through 56 years, and this family owned business, run by three generations, is committed to inspiring all visual communicators, from industry veterans to future innovators.

In addition, the Richard and Jean Coyne Family Foundation was established in 1990 with the aim of increasing diversity in visual communication. The foundation currently funds 17 projects managed by educational institutions and non-profit trade organizations, helping financially disadvantaged high school students develop portfolios to qualify for art schools, and providing them with university scholarships to study graphic design, advertising, photography, and illustration.
