Early life

Eliot Fette Noyes, Jr. was born the son of noted "Harvard Five" architect Eliot Noyes and his wife, interior designer Molly Duncan Weed Noyes. He is the brother of Fred Noyes. He graduated from Harvard University in 1964.[2]

Career

In 1964,[3] Noyes created the animated film Clay or Origin of the Species [4] which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.[5] The film is considered one of the earliest examples of clay stop-animation[6] and is cited by Wallace and Gromit creators, Peter Lord and David Sproxton as a large influence on their work.[7]

Noyes is also noted for his creation of the Sand Alphabet for Sesame Street and the Nickelodeon children's television series, Eureeka's Castle. In 2003, Noyes cofounded the animation production studio Alligator Planet with Ralph Guggenheim and Alan Buder. Noyes directed animation sequences for two films which were shortlisted for the 2009 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, Under Our Skin and The Most Dangerous Man in America, a final nominee.

Works

~Noyes spent twenty-one years working as consultant design director for IBM, designing the IBM Selectric typewriter in 1961 and numerous other products, while also advising the IBM internal design staff.[1] Prior to his work on the Selectric, Noyes was commissioned in 1956 by Thomas J. Watson, Jr to create IBM's first corporate-wide design program — indeed, these influential efforts, in which Noyes collaborated with Paul Rand and Charles Eames, have been referred to as the first comprehensive design program in American business.~

Paul Rand

Emphasis added.

Paul Rand (born Peretz Rosenbaum; August 15, 1914 – November 26, 1996) was an American art director and graphic designer, best known for his corporate logo designs, including the logos for IBM, UPS, Enron, Morningstar, Inc., Westinghouse, ABC, and NeXT. He was one of the first American commercial artists to embrace and practice the Swiss Style of graphic design.

Corporate identities

Rand's most widely known contributions to design are his corporate identities, many of which are still in use. IBM, ABC, Cummins Engine, UPS, and Enron, among many others, owe Rand their graphical heritage.[5] One of his strengths, as Moholy-Nagy pointed out,[4] was his ability as a salesman to explain the needs his identities would address for the corporation.~

NeXT, Inc. (later NeXT Computer, Inc. and NeXT Software, Inc.) was an American computer and software company founded in 1985 by Apple Computer co-founder Steve Jobs.~

~NeXT was founded by Jobs after he was fired from Apple, along with several co-workers.

History

~

1993–96: NeXT Software

NeXT started porting the NeXTSTEP operating system to IBM PC compatible computers using the Intel 80486 processor in late 1991. The operating system was ported to Intel's architecture because of a change in NeXT's business strategy, which was then to remove themselves from the hardware business entirely.

~NeXTSTEP gained popularity at institutions such as First Chicago NBD, Swiss Bank Corporation, O'Connor and Company, and other organizations owing to its programming model.[51] It was also used by many American federal agencies, such as United States Naval Research Laboratory, the National Security Agency, the Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Reconnaissance Office.[52] Some IBM PC clone vendors offered somewhat customized hardware solutions that were delivered running NeXTSTEP on Intel, such as the Elonex NextStation[53] and the Canon object.station 41.[54]~

GREG CRAIG

https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3688389/replies?c=116

Obama's White House Counsel is married to Eli Noyes' sister (Kit Laybourne's Animation Partner's sister)

Upon learning that Greg Craig, Obama’s White House Counsel, had obtained legal representation, I realized I did not really know much about him. Being mindful of my assignment by Swordmaker (who echos Q,) to “follow the wives,” I’ve also researched and learned a little bit about Greg Craig’s wife, Derry and her family.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_B._Craig

Greg Craig was a student at Exeter. He went to Harvard, and reportedly became acquainted with Henry Kissinger and other faculty there. After earning honors there, he became active in anti-Vietnam War and liberal activities. Craig received a medical deferment for a shoulder injury.

He went on to Yale Law school, where some of HIS FELLOW CLASSMATES WERE BILL CLINTON, HILLARY RODHAM, AND DAVID E. KENDALL. Kendall, it will be remembered, was Clinton’s lawyer during the impeachment proceedings.

Craig was on EDWARD M. (TED) KENNEDY’S STAFF, and held other notable positions and worked on prominent cases in his career.

HE WAS ON THE TEAM IN 1981, WHO REPRESENTED JOHN W. HINCKLEY JR. AFTER THE SHOOTING OF PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN.

In 1996, Bill Clinton offered him the post of White House Counsel, but declined. Secretary of State MADELEINE K. ALBRIGHT APPOINTED CRAIG TO the post of director of policy planning at the State Department in 1997. “In October 1997, Albright gave Craig the additional post of special coordinator for Tibetan affairs, in order “to focus attention on China’s suppression of Tibet’s cultural and religious traditions.””

He accepted a position on Clinton’s IMPEACHMENT DEFENSE counsel team.

He worked with the legal team representing Juan Miguel Gonzales, the Cuban father of six year old ELIAN GONZALEZ, which resulted in Elian’s return to Cuba.

He served as an advisor to the Obama campaign. It is reported in the Wiki article that it had been speculated that he had hoped for Secretary of State, but was offered and ACCEPTED THE POSITION OF WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL. The article lists details of what some of his activities were in that position.

He was subjected to an OUSTER CAMPAIGN, thought to have been spearheaded partly by Rahm Emanuel, who leaked documents, as reported by Nina Totenberg. “Craig’s resignation took effect on January 3, 2010. He became the highest-ranking official to leave the Obama administration up until that point.”

After his resignation, he obtained the position as a Global Policy and Litigation Strategy Practice Group partner for the law firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher, and Flom, LLP.

The firm was representing Goldman Sachs, and hired Craig to advise them in their civil lawsuit with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

He also represented JOHN EDWARDS, gaining acquittal, in the misuse of campaign funds in the RIELLE HUNTER cover up case.

And this is where we can sit up and see how the Manafort plea deal exposes the Podesta actions in the Ukraine thereby peeling some onion layers back, … and there is our man Greg right in the middle!

“CRAIG LED A TEAM OF LAWYERS FROM SKADDEN, ARPS WHO WERE COMMISSIONED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF UKRAINE under President Viktor Yanukovich to look into errors in the trial of former Ukrainian prime minister Yulia V. Tymoshenko on abuse-of-power charges.”…”Experts say that Craig should have registered as a foreign agent, as lobbyists are required to do when they lobby on behalf of foreign governments.”

He resigned from the firm of Skadden et al, in April 2018 because one of the firm’s London lawyers was indicted by Mueller, and pleaded guilty to making false statements.

It was reported by CNN and NBC, that following a referral from Mueller’s office, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York was investigating Craig and others, including ex-lobbyist TONY PODESTA and former Republican U.S. Representative Vin Weber, as part of a broader investigation into the activities of Paul Manafort.

Craig is married to DERRY NOYES. They became a couple in 1973 and married in 1974. She is the daughter of ELIOT NOYES, industrial designer known for his work on the IBM typewriter. Derry is a graphic designer.

Go figure...

Thanks for that tidbit. I'm off to bed in a moment, but I saw your other comment and was equally impressed as @Vindicator.

Ciao for now.
