David Lindroth

David Lindroth is Design Director for UNET. An award-winning publication designer and cartographer, Lindroth was an art director at Readers Digest General books, where he designed million-sellers such as The Complete Car Care Manual, How To Do Just About Anything, as well as portions of Back to Basics and Fix It Yourself. He received an AIGA award for Car Care. Lindroth also directed several Readers Digest how-to video productions, and illustrated numerous books, including James Monaco's definitive How To Read a Film.

Active as a cartographic illustrator and designer since 1970, Lindroth formed his own production company in 1982. In 1987, he was among the first to apply Postscript technology to mapping projects. He produced the first major series of travel maps using Postscript -- the entire Fodor's Gold Guide program of 2,000 maps. He also produced the new Flashmaps series for Fodor's. He has received awards from both AIGA and the Art Directors Club for his work on these series. Lindroth's other projects have included the Universal Almanac, the Let's Go Travel series, and numerous trade books (such as the best-selling Hot Zone.)

In recent years Lindroth has been a design consultant for interactive CDI and CD-ROM projects for Readers Digest, UNET, and W. W. Norton, among others. He developed the UNET interfaces for prototypes of TV Guide Online, The Classified Connection, and United Media's UMNET.

Lindroth lives in West Milford, NJ, with his wife Page, an artist, and their two children.
