Designers Who Inspire me

I have created this album of influential graphic designers from 1950 to the present. I have selected them purely because i like their style and i think their work is unique. Also because in my opinion their work stands out from the crowd and is different. I will add to this album over time.

and mix of colour and typefaces. Great poster

for museum.

juxtaposition of type and image. Professor

of design at Dusseldorf until 1993.
