Graphic Designers

Max Huber: 

The work of Max Huber is mostly in the field of advertising, and he uses very bold lines, and colours. The work focuses primarily on shape and colour, and the type is rarely straight; it's always at a slight angle to mix with the images and make it more interesting to look at.

Erik Nitsche:

Erik Nitsche's work is identifiable by the clear shapes and focus on layout that he uses in his work, using simple type and bright colours.He is known primarily for his work with printed documents that require meticulous attention to detail.

Wolfgang Weingart:

In comparison to the other two artists, Wolfgang Weingart's work contains very little colour, focusing on the use of black and white and the shape that images make on the page. He uses a lot of type in his work, and it is part of the signature of his work, which was passed on to his students when he was teaching typography at Basel School of Design.

Storm Thorgerson:

Storm Thorgerson is a British graphic designer who has worked on many album covers and music videos. this mean that his work covers a range of media and subjects, however, all of his work is quite strange, and has an air of the impossible about it. He manages to combine reality with something totally impossible without seeing how it's created, in a way that is not initially strange, and it requires thinking about to realize the image isn't quite possible.

Chip Kidd:

Chip Kidd is an author and book cover designer, not necessarily a pure graphic designer, with the elements of illustration, but the different types on the covers and the way that everything is laid out is part of graphic design, and Chip excels at this. Each part of the covers reflects the contents, and the colour palette has obviously been thought about a lot to get the most impact and attract people. Book covers have an advertising side, as the covers must sell the book to those who see the cover, without giving away the whole plot but giving enough of a clue to make them interested.

Poul Lange: 

Poul Lange is a bit of a man of all trades in the art industry, doing illustration, graphic design and aspects of fine art. This is evident in his graphic deign work because he uses a lot of collage, and composed his images in more of a pictorial sense with little type.
