Judged “Best in American” by the American Management Association and “Noted Style Authority” by the Parker Pen Co., Paul M. Ressinger was a specialist in product and packaging design, had a versatile and interesting background in the design field. An innate and secure sense of color and composition is evident in all his work. The imagination of this well-known designer was limited only by his sense of practical merchandising. His designs fitted like a glove in the aesthetic and commercial Parker philosophy combining designs that more than please the eye with those that must sell.
Mr. Ressinger was a founder member of “The 27 Chicago Designers”, a group dedicated to promoting the work of its members—illustrators, typographers, photographers, and designers. He actively worked alongside employees of the Parker Pen Co. during two decades during which his creative spark matured.
His clients included not only Parker Pen but also Montgomery Ward Co., and Sears Roebuck Co. He also created modern packaging designs for Australian manufacturing industries.
