Eddie Tucker
After an ill-fated attempt to drive a VW van to Lima, Peru in 1970, Eddie
Tucker returned to Memphis to begin his career as a graphic designer.
During his 30-year career, Eddie has produced
work for more than 100 businesses and won over 150 awards including national
Addys, the prestigious John Caples Direct Marketing Award, Clios and several
New York Art Directors Club awards. Eddie has taught graphic design and
advertising art direction at The University Memphis and The Memphis College
of Art.
In 1991, he left his position as creative director with Archer-Malmo Advertising
to persue more hands-on design, and started Eddie Tucker Advertising &
Design. His business specializes in design communications from strategy
and conceptual development to full implementation.
Memphis is familiar with much of Eddie’s work, especially his annual
Handy Awards poster. Eddie has been donating his services to create and
produce the poster for the Blues Foundation since 1982.
In addition to developing printed marketing materials, he also plans and
develops interactive media such as the Art Center’s web site.
When he’s not working, he enjoys riding his Harley, which is why
the sign in front of his office simply says: “Fast Eddie.”
