Born in Milan, in 1949 Iliprandi graduated in painting and in 1953 in scenography from the Brera Academy. He was a self-taught graphic designer, inspired by Antonio Boggeri, Max Huber, Albe Steiner and Bruno Munari. In the early 1950s he was able to get commissions from important companies including RAI, Honeywell, Roche, La Rinascente, FIAT, Standa and Electa.
