Wim Crouwel

Wim Crouwel (born 1928) is of the most influential dutch designers in the 20th century. His typographic designs, envisioned through his unique combination of functionalism and aesthetics, have been influential on designers of younger generations.

David Carson

David Carson is an American graphic designer. He is best known for his innovative magazine design, and use of experimental typography. He was the art director for the magazine Ray Gun. Carson was perhaps the most influential graphic designer of the nineties. In particular, his widely-imitated aesthetic defined the so-called "grunge" era.

Matthew Carter

Matthew Carter is one of the few type designers who have created typefaces for fonts in metal, photo and the digital medium. This is even more remarkable when considering that his career began slightly by happenstance.In the brief time between secondary school and Oxford University, the then 19-year-old Carter trained at Enschedé type foundry in the Netherlands. This internship enabled him to learn punchcutting from P.H. Rädish, a master of the craft. Carter’s Enschedé experience sealed his fate. By the time he returned to London in 1956, his self-imposed “life sentence in type” had begun.

Hanna Hoch

Höch’s impact on Berlin Dada was profound. She was a master practitioner of photomontage -- a technique that all the dadaists adopted. With its roots in the kitsch tradition of splicing heads from family photos onto magazine pictures of ideal soldiers or angelic women, photomontage took images and type from the popular press and combined them in ways to reveal the fissures that ran through middle-class ideology.

Mehemed Fehmy Agha

He was a pioneer with the use of sans serif typefaces, the duotone, full color photographs and bleed images.He also bought to his readers the work of many artists like Matisse, Derain, Covarrubius and Picasso years before other American magazines. Under Agha's direction, Vanity Fair introduced the first double-page spread in 1930, and in 1932 Vogue had the first magazine cover with full-color photography.

Neville Brody

Neville Brody, the British designer and art director, has now been at the forefront of graphic design for over two decades.He was one of the founding members of FontWorks [1] in London and designed a number of notable typefaces for them. He was also partly responsible for instigating the FUSE project an influential fusion between a magazine, graphics design and typeface design. Each pack includes a publication with articles relating to typography and surrounding subjects, four brand new fonts that are unique and revolutionary in some shape or form and four posters designed by the type designer usually using little more than their included font.
