first 3 designers

The other day in class we talked about 3 designers, April Greiman, Milton Glaser and Seymour Chwast. April was a designer that embraced "New Wave Design" she was very experimental with her designs and she had had a slight hint of swiss design in her work. April used various experimental typefaces along with different angles in her work. What was interesting about her is that she started designing without computers and then she was on the forefront of using computers for design so she has all aspects of design under her belt. The Second designer we heard about was Milton Glaser. Milton used different design principles and is known for one of the most produced designs ever; the i love New York design. He also is responsible for the Bob Dylan designs. He was influenced by Art Novoue and Pop art along with comic books. The last designer was Seymour Chwast. Seymour uses a lot of hand drawn elements in his designs. He was one of the founders of push pin studios. He focused on one large illustration that your eye focuses to with typography and other elements on the sides.
