History of Design
Fred Woodard
Woodward was most noted for his designs for Rolling Stone Magazine. He was respectful of graphic design history but he also added his own original features like the Oxford Border. He was known for letting the photo speak for itself, adding minimal text or none at all. In 1996 he was inducted into the art director hall of fame.
Gail Anderson
Also a designer for Rolling stone Magazine, Anderson was known for her typographic displays. She was known for her use of quirky or none traditional materials for her typographic displays that had great connections to the subject they were displaying. She was known and loved for her dramatic and comic designs and has written several books about her designs.
Tibor Kalman
Tibor was known for his daring and bold coverage of controversial topics at the time like AIDS. His magazine covers and spreads were often striking, just like their subjects. He embraced unsophisticated designs, a division between Modernism and postmodernism, which strikingly represented his subjects.
Alexi Brodovitch
Brodovitch was most famous for his work as the art director of Harper's Bazaar. He made huge changes in magazine design as he had complete creative freedom. He was known for daring type placement of type and images, making design more asymmetrical and interesting than people were used to at the time.
Neville Brody
He was notable for his design for The Face magazine, which was known as the fashion bible. He was also known for his very bold uses of typography and minimalism used to elevate the subject and fashion. He created himself a new visual language with images and architectural elements. He was also known for creating several type faces.
David Carson
Carson essentially created 90's design, emulating the grungy style that was popular at the time. He turned graphic design into a cultural force as he really tried to embrace the culture at the time in creating his designs, giving him spreads unique to him as a designer as well as unique to the time period.
