2011 Hall of Fame : David Pitts - With Intellect and Intensity

Mervil Paylor, principal of Mervil Paylor Design, loves the fact that Pitts is a straight-shooter, a no-nonsense individual. "David is the same person professionally that he is personally—the WYSIWYG factor," she says. "You know where you stand with David. I can call him on a non-printing issue, like if I'm buying some computer equipment, and get his opinion. I know that if I call on him, I can count on him."
