People who Changed Graphic Design forever
- dasil003 17y agoIs the header graphic meant to be ironic?
- pbhjpbhj 17y agoLooks like he stuck a header banner on someone else's theme? The css is called freshnews.css but inside is called "creative theme".
- gord 17y ago+ Herb Lubalin

- mixmax 17y agoInteresting how the people portrayed in the article look nothing like the hip cafe latte drinking types that are normally associated with designers.
- unalone 17y agoCreative people have only one thing in common: They create to their own standards. The result is that the best creatives look uniquely themselves. But there's more than one creative stereotype. What about the hippies artiste? Or the goofy generation throwback? The dissheveled coffee addict? It's all part of the wide collections of stereotypes, which tend to reflect all the people in the field. More elaboration on stereotypes for your enjoyment: Graphic designers are stereotypically much nerdier than other creatives. Not as artistic as fine artists, too nerdy and unkempt as advertisers.
- mixmax 17y agoVery true, I just couldn't help noticing it.
- unalone 17y agoDefinitely something that struck me when learning about Ogilvy, Burnett, Bernbach, etc., when learning about great advertising legends, was how very few of them looked like a stereotypical advertiser. Leo Burnett in particular worked with my ad prof.'s father, and was described as a short ugly man whose garble was incomprehensible. But the man was a genius (I wish more people knew advertising legends, because they're truly fascinating). Taught me that the best advertisers are smart enough to see through a lot of their own stereotypes. Certainly the people I know studying advertising are nothing like what I'd have expected.
- jparise 17y agoNo Susan Kare (http://www.kare.com/ http://www.kare.com/)? She's iconic (!!) in the history of user interfaces.
- patrickgzill 17y agoI would place Keith Ohlfs ahead of SK.
- Perceval 17y agoA whole article on graphic design without any mention of the Futurists? For shame!
- omouse 17y agoWhere's Donald Knuth and TeX?! ;p
- petercooper 17y agoMissing Neville Brody. Not sure why the big focus on techs either.
- derobert 17y agoHow 'bout Max Miedinger?
