On this day, May 30, 1927, illustrator Bob Peak was born in Denver, Colorado. After service in the Korean War, Peak studied at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. He settled in New York City and began to create advertising and magazine illustrations. In 1961 Peak designed the poster for West Side Story and then many other films—making him ‘the father of the modern Hollywood poster.’
