Dair was born in Crowland Township in Welland, Ontario. He landed his first creative job when he was 18, creating advertising and layouts for the Stratford Beacon-Herald<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a partnership with Henry Eveleigh, Dair founded the Dair-Eveleigh Studio which operated from 1947-51 in Montr\u00e9al, Quebec. There he worked mostly as a freelance designer. During this time he worked for the National Film Board of Canada. He also lectured on typography at the Ontario College of Art between 1959 and 1962. Dair taught at the Jamaica School of Arts and Crafts for two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dair’s book, Design with Type, <\/em>which described principles of design using typefaces, was published in 1952 and revised in 1967. Design with Type<\/em> became the first Canadian book to receive the Book of the Year Award from the American Institute of Graphic Arts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
