NEW YORK—A recent supplement to Time magazine highlights “the people and ideas behind today’s most influential design.” Mentioned first on its Design 100 list is Canadian graphic designer Leanne Shapton.

The former art director of now-defunct Saturday Night  magazine is designing and illustrating books, magazines and textiles in New York City – she illustrated the cover of the Time Style & Design issue.

In 2006, she wrote and illustrated her first book, Was She Pretty? She is also co-founder of J&L Books, which publishes art and photography books.

Other Canadian mentions in the Time article: Umbra, Holt Renfrew and Vancouver's smashLAB. Contact: www.time.com; www.jandlbooks.org
