 AIGA - Colin Forbes
That in itself is not an unusual phenomenon, but the way Forbes approaches it is. One of the common ironies of design is that the more successful an office gets, the less time the principals responsible for its success have to design.
Forbes does all of those things, but he does them without resentment or even resignation.
Forbes saw that market as divided between two kinds of design firms: the traditional offices run by designers, and the offices that were organized—on the Lippincott and Margulies model—very much like advertising agencies, with design and designers subordinate to other disciplines.

The President's monetary compensation is minuscule in comparison to the CEOs of most Fortune 500 companies; in some parts of the United States some medical specialists (such as cardiovascular surgeons) will earn comparable salaries.

Overall the vast majority of US presidents were very affluent upon entering office and thus were not dependent on the salary.
