Life Lesson: designers every student should know.

People:
Saul Bass's cut and paste style is something that is memorable, but also successful.
This poster has a very vintage feel to it, and I love how the text is of a gold
color rather than the arm itself.

I love that Paul Rand can be the master of logos, icons, and marks, yet still
create whimsical and lovely designs and illustrations that appeal to children.

Alexander Girard is so free-spirited with the way he incorporates type and images into his
designs. I love in this design how the type is continuous and interacts with one another.

I love the hand-textured strips of paper and the organic
type and shapes of Alvin Lustig's designs.

I love the way Fletcher incorporated both hand drawn and cut-out
text. The overlapping gives the design dimension, and it's very clean.


5. ALAN FLETCHER


I love the way Steinweiss treated type in this design. The way the
hat and the face of the man make up the words is ingenious. It works
so well with the diamond pattern in the background. Not to mention,
the color scheme is perfect and bright.

The Eames were all about clean, simple, and functional design. The Eames
chair is not only well-recognized and widely reproduced, but also sleek
and comfortable.

This book illustrated by Marla Kalman is lovely. The
illustrations are fun, colorful, and have a unique
style to them that is loved by adults and children alike.

As a young designer who still hasn't refined her handwritten typography
skills, I am in awe of Steven Heller's talent. His work is legible, unique,
and beautifully crafted.
