Since graphic design is an applied art, many of us can't connect famous graphic designers and their work. Here's your quick design history lesson about the most famous graphic designers of all time.
Pop culture, marketing, fine art, music and other disciplines influenced graphic design, but nothing influenced it more than some of the biggest graphic designers in history.

The 20th century reshaped the way we perceived visual arts and used them for marketing, advertising or promoting any idea, and the design industry took flight very quickly. Many famous graphic designers worked in the Mad Men-era of graphic design, pre-Photoshop and Illustrator, experimenting with what they have as physical objects.

So who are some famous graphic designers, and what are their best known for? Here's a list of 10 names you definitely need to know about.

{{GRAPHIC_BANNER="/dev/components"}}

Paul Rand

Paul Rand didn't only have a stellar career as a graphic designer and art director, but shaped the way a corporate logo looks today. This creative genius was behind the IBM, ABC, Enron, Morningstar, UPS and many other logo designs, as well as the corporate identities that they use to this day. Rand famously developed the Next Computers brand identity for $100.000 for Steve Jobs, who was then fired from Apple Computers, without even letting the client adjust or brainstorm on the idea.

Rand also designed widely used typefaces like Helvetica. He was a professor emeritus of graphic design at Yale University.

He is also known for being one of the early adopters of the Swiss style of design in the United States, especially in commercially successful industries and businesses' corporate designs. He was dedicated to the modernist school of thought, looking up to artists such as Paul Sezanne, Pablo Picasso and Jan Tschichold, famously saying that "the problem of the artist is to defamiliarize the ordinary".

In his 1999 biography of Paul Rand, the author Stephen Heller wrote that "he was the channel through which European modern art and design Russian Constructivism, Dutch De Stijl and the German Bauhaus was introduced to American commercial art."

Peter Saville

From the Burberry logo to one of the most beautiful album cover designs-Joy Division's "Unknown Pleasures", Peter Saville is a faomus graphic designer known for his role in spreading graphic design across mediums and closer to pop culture.

He co-founded Factory Records in 1978 with Alan Erasmus and Tony Wilson, and they went on to create hundreds of album covers. Apart from designing for cult bands like Joy Division and New Order, he has created album covers for David Byrne, Pulp, Brian Eno, King Crimson, Peter Gabriel and many others.

He is also famous for re-contextualizing and adapting other visual arts examples into his works, like using "Roses", a painting by Henri Fantin-Latour combined with a color-coded alphabet to create New Order's "Power, Corruption and Lies" album cover.

Milton Glaser

Ever wondered what famous graphic designer created the I love NY logo?

We are all used to using the heart symbol instead of writing "love", but before Milton Glaser's "I Love New York" design, that was inconceivable. This famous graphic designer made his name designing popular logos, such as the DC Comics and Brooklyn Brewery, as well as creating eye-catching, psychedelic inspired poster designs like the famous ones with Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin.

He co-founded and wrote for the New York magazine in 1968, which still exists and comes out biweekly to this day.

Glaser has made some of his typography elements available for free by publishing the Glaser Stencil typeface in 1970.

Like many others on this list, he was a member of the Art Directors Club. Founded in 1920, this organization has brought together art directors from New York, and highlighted their work through exhibitions and awards. Other notable members include Paul Rand, Saul Bass, Herb Lubalin, Ivan Chermayeff, Massimo Vignelli, Walt Disney, Andy Warholl, and many more.

Stefan Sagmeister

Many artists are known for being an odd egg, but Stefan Sagmeister takes peculiarity and experimentation to another level.

This Austrian graphic designer has designed many famous album covers for Lou Reed, The Rolling Stones, and Talking Heads' "Once in a Lifetime" box set. But apart from commercially known designs of his, he has a knack for innovative media.

One such example is his Banana Wall, which was literally a wall of 10,000 bananas. Green bananas created a pattern against a background of yellow bananas spelling out "Self-confidence produces fine results". After a while, the green bananas turned yellow and the text disappeared, but then the yellow bananas turned brown it reappeared together with the artist's self-confidence, he often jokes.

He co-founded the Sagmeister & Walsh studio with Jessica Walsh (more about her later).

Massimo Vignelli

Massimo Vignelli was originally an architect who graduated from Politecnico Di Milano, one of Europe's most respected engineering schools, who went on to become a famous designer of... well, all sorts of things. He was famously governed by the motto "If you can design one thing, you can design everything". He was a follower of the Modernist school of design and used geometrical forms in all his creations.

From packaging to interior design, he has worked in many fields of graphic design, and with high-profile clients like IBM, American Airlines, Bloomingdale and the City of New York, for which he designed the New York City Subway Map. He considered this simplified visual for navigation to be one of his greatest creations. And he was right since this map is thought to be a landmark in the Modernist information design.

Vignelli also worked on several typefaces, improving and simplifying very notable fonts like Bodoni, Helvetica and others.

Aries Moross

Aries Moross is a designer mostly known for their typographic illustrations, blasts of color and taking inspiration from tribal art. From Cadbury's milky logotype to the Spice Girls' tour visuals, they have a huge presence in everyday things and pop culture. Working for their own Studio Moross, they've lent their colorful vision and artistry to the entertainment business, as designer and art director to various MTV and Nickelodeon projects, many music festivals and record artists' album covers.

They've also written the book Make Your Own Luck: A DIY Attitude to Graphic Design & Illustration, as well as sailed the waters of vinyl publishing with Isomorph Records.

April Greiman

April Greiman was one of the handful of famous graphic artists to first embrace technology in their craft. Although at the beginning of her career she worked with traditional techniques, Greiman quickly adopted the new medium and started working exclusively digitally. The creativity of her designs helped others to see the potential in the novelty approach, which later paved the way for design becoming more accessible. This later opened up a range of approaches, skills and techniques modern designers use today.

Greiman was also head of the California Institute of Arts and created the poster for the 1984 Olympics in LA.

‍

‍

Chip Kidd

If you ever stared at a beautiful book cover for minutes and wondered how designers can be so ingenious, chances are it might have been either designed or influenced by Chip Kidd. This famous designer, who's currently working as an art director for Knopf, has worked or freelanced for all the major book publishers like Amazon, Penguin, Columbia University Press, HarperCollins, and many others.

He has designed for writers and artists like Haruki Murakami, Frank Miller, Charles Shultz, Cormac McCarthy and many others. Apart from illustrating and editing amazing book jackets and covers, Kidd has two of his own book series, some graphic novels and a history of drawing for the Batman comic series.

David Carson

David Carson is considered to be the rule-breaker of graphic design and the father of so-called "grunge typography ". Widely respected for his works in magazine cover and typography poster design. He could be described as an anarchist in his style since he's trying to break and re-establish the rules of design.

He is also famous for his work ethos: he doesn't start working on a project until he has experienced the art, product, or service it represents first.

Alan Fletcher

Deemed " the godfather of British modern design", Alan Fletcher had a stellar career and ground-breaking typography and poster designs. Throughout his career, he worked for high-esteemed design studios like Pentagram, as well as his co-owned graphic design agency Fletcher/Forbes/Gill. He worked on his book on graphic design, "The Art of Looking Sideways", for 18 years. He has also published a book of his designs called "Beware of Wet Paint".

Some of his most famous works include the Victoria & Albert museum logo, a now-retired logo for Reuters, as well as the logo for the Institute of Directors.

‍

Paula Scher

From designing children's book covers in Random House to being the art director of Atlantic Records in charge of album covers, Paula Scher has had a respectable career. She is also known as the first woman who became the principal of the iconic design studio Pentagram.

While working there, Scher has created notable brand identities, such as the Museum of Modern Arts, The Public Theater, The Metropolitan Opera, NYC Ballet, and others. One of her most famous logos is the Windows 8 logo. Up until that point, Microsoft used the 4-color flag as a logo, but Scher redesigned it to a more obvious object: a window.

She has also worked in environmental graphic design, bettering the designs of buildings to the best conditions set by the environment.

In her typography works, she relies heavily on Art Deco and Russian Constructivism.

Herb Lubalin

If there is a designer who toyed with censorship and pushed forward the boundaries of what is accepted in the design industry, it's Herb Lubalin. Working for three infamous magazines that were blamed for obscenity in the 60s and 70s, to publicly criticizing bad leadership, discrimination and the state of politics in a time where it wasn't generally accepted to do that, Lubalin infused his designs with ingenuity, sarcasm and intelligent humor.

He is most famous for inventive typography he himself called "word pictures": creating shapes with lettering. He rejected the Swiss style of design to adopt a more humanistic approach and used avant-garde typography and minimalist color palettes. He was colorblind, which would be considered a great obstacle for a graphic designer, but his use of white, black and grey defined his work.

Lubalin is one of the most inventive designers in the mid-20th-century American advertising revolution and has worked for many big-time clients, from pharmaceutical companies to Cadillac.

Otl Aicher

It's hard to imagine the world without stick figure signage in public spaces and traffic, and the heavy use of pictograms that explain everything better. But, before Otl Aicher, stick figure signs were nowhere to be found. This German designer created the first stick figure pictograms for the 1972 Munich Olympics. Since then, they were adopted everywhere: from traffic signs to airport signage.

He is also considered to be one of the forefathers of corporate design, having worked for Lufthansa and Braun, among others.

He has also created book cover designs, typography, and even furniture.

Apart from his design work, Aicher is known for strongly opposing the Nazi regime in Germany.

Ivan Chermayeff

Ivan Chermayeff' may as well be one of the best graphic designers of all time, if you consider the amount of iconic work he's created. Some of his most famous logos, including National Geographic, Pan Am, and NBC, many of which are still used today.

Chermayeff is one of the pioneers of abstract logos, as opposed to wordmarks which had been the norm previously. This is now a pretty common practice with corporate logos, but few designers are as successful at creating something quite as unique and memorable.

Saul Bass

Annyas

Saul Bass is a prominent graphic designer who created some of the most iconic movie posters and went on to become an Academy Award winner for his directorial work as well.

He has created posters for Hollywood legends of the likes of Alfred Hitchcock, Martin Scorcese, Billy Wilder, Otto Preminger and Stanley Kubrick, most notably the "Vertigo", "North by Northwest" and "Anatomy of a Murder".

He was also a visual consultant to Hitchcock, producing title sequences and graphic transitions for "Psycho".

However, famous graphic designers and their work usually get most recognition for logos and branding. Along with incredibly creative movie posters, Bass also designed one of the most recognizable logos today - the Kleenex logo.

Michael Bierut

Michael Bierut is a graphic design contemporary, who worked for Vignelli Associates, learning directly from Massimo Vignelli, as well as for Pentagram. He is a professor at Yale and worked on the syllabus for the design thinking program. Beirut is also a well-known design critic.

Some of his notable designs and clients include Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign logo, the redesign of The Atlantic, Mastercard, Beneton, The Museum of Sex, Motorola, The Walt Disney Company, United Airlines, and many others. He has also developed environmental signs for The New York Times building.

He regularly writes for the Fast Company and The New York Times about corporate branding and design and has written four books on design.

Rob Janoff

Many famous graphic designers became well-known thanks to a single project. That's certainly the case with Rob Janoff who designed one of the most famous, and long-lasting logos in history: the Apple logo.

What is it about this logo that much more intricate design can never compete with? Its simplicity. When a company is called "Apple" it only makes sense the logo should be this symbol.

Janoff explained that the famous bite was added to ensure the simple design was still recognizable as an apple, rather than similar round fruit with stems. On a deeper level, this imagery is connected to man's biblical desire for knowledge, and the way Apple computers can fulfill that desire. Finally, this small, yet powerful detail has another dimension, since "byte" is a computer term.

1000 Logos

The initial choice of colors was also intention, as Apple were the first computers that could show images in color. As this ceased to be a distinguishing factor, the brand switched to a more timeless, minimalist look that is sure to stay relevant for decades to come.

Lindon Leader

Speaking of famous graphic designers and their work in creating the most memorable logos of our time, we may as well mention Lindon Leader, the man behind the iconic FedEx logo.

It's one of the most iconic and creative brand logos, that still has that universal, corporate look the company was after. The designer started by combining two fonts to ensure the arrow "hidden" in the whitespace would fit seamlessly into the design. Almost 30 years later, this logo still feels as fresh and relevant as ever.

Jessica Walsh

The youngest person on this list who defines graphic design styles and trends today is Jessica Walsh, who became a partner at Sagmeister & Walsh at only 25 years old. Prior to that, she has already done magazine covers for the New York Times, books and magazines, and was interning for Paula Scher and Pentagram.

Walsh is thought to have a bold, colorful and often surrealist style, that she infuses in all her products, from magazine covers to branding projects.

Some of her most notable projects include the Adobe logo "remix competition" with business partner Stefan Sagmeister, branding efforts for the Jewish Museum of New York, as well as creating ads and editorials for Aizone and Levi's.

She has also written a blog and book about her experiment with fellow designer Tim Goodman, called "40 Days of Dating", which is about to become a feature film.

Helmut Krone

As you can see these celebrated designers created some of the most famous logos and ads in history. One name to add to that list is Helmut Krone, a famous designer and art director.

Although he's worked on many ad campaigns, the most famous are his iconic Volkswagen ads. To this day, these ads are considered the perfect marriage of design and copy, which many modern marketers struggle to achieve.

Now you know what famous graphic designer created the I love NY logo, and who are some famous graphic designers behind iconic pieces of design. To continue your design education, check out this list of essential resources for every designer. Or get inspired with these iconic graphic design quotes - expect to see some familiar names there!
He spent almost his entire professional career at the celebrated amrkreting and design firm Doyle Dane and Bernbach.

Adrian Frutiger

Let's finish off this list of famous graphic artists with a designer whose not-so-humble contribution became a staple in everyday graphic design.

Swiss designer Adrian Frutiger created some of the most popular fonts, including Avenir, Didot, Univers, and (you guessed it) Frutiger.

https://type.method.ac/ - This game is called Kerntype and tests your eye and knowledge of typography, trains you to set the correct kerning.

Kerntype is an engaging game designed to sharpen your eye for typography and refine your kerning skills. Kerning, the art of adjusting the spacing between characters, plays a crucial role in enhancing the legibility of digital text. Despite often being overlooked, understanding kerning is invaluable for designers, especially when crafting custom logotypes or fonts.

In Kerntype, you'll need to precisely space the letters within words. Each word kerned earns you a score out of 100, while offering three different views: your spacing, the optimal spacing, and a side-by-side comparison. Striving for a perfect score can be challenging, but it serves as a constant reminder of the endless opportunities for improvement in typography. That's why we believe it's a rewarding journey of honing skills and refining techniques.

https://color.method.ac/ - This game is called Color Method. It's a timed game, where you need to choose the right shades on the color wheel - it gets more difficult with each level.

By enhancing your proficiency in color, you empower yourself to make informed and impactful choices across various design endeavors. Color, a dynamic game, prompts you to discern hues, and saturation levels, and explore harmonious color combinations like complementary, analogous, triadic, and tetradic pairs.

Within the interface, you'll encounter an interactive color wheel with a central highlighted hue. The challenge is to identify the corresponding colors within the wheel in under 10 seconds. As you progress, the task escalates in complexity, particularly when matching colors for triadic and tetradic schemes. It's a stimulating exercise that sharpens your eye for color and expands your understanding of its application in design.

https://shape.method.ac/ - The next game is a Shape Method, it will help you to understand type anatomy better. Here you need to return the symbols to their original shape using Bezier curves.

Shape Method offers another captivating vector-based gaming experience worth exploring. In this game, players are tasked to transform a letter into its accurate form by adjusting various anchor points. Afterward, they receive a similarity score out of 100. Similar to Kern Type, players can switch between three views to compare their reshaped letter to the original form.

Beyond honing vector drawing skills, Shape Type provides an excellent opportunity to delve into the anatomical intricacies of various typefaces up close. It's a rewarding journey that not only sharpens your design abilities but also deepens your understanding of typographic elements.

It's Centred That

https://www.supremo.co.uk/designers-eye/ - It's Centred That - the game which helps to train your eye. You need to determine whether the point is in the center of the object and sometimes this is not as easy as it seems.

It's Centred That is an excellent tool for refining your sense of alignment and swiftly identifying spacing errors. The task is straightforward: decide whether a dot is perfectly centered within a shape. Despite its simplicity, the game presents a significant challenge as the dots are often positioned tantalizingly close to the center.

This game fosters a heightened awareness of composition by prompting you to assess geometry and locate reference points amidst overlapping and adjacent shapes. It's a stimulating exercise that hones your eye for precision and enhances your understanding of spatial relationships.

I Shot The Serif

https://www.tothepoint.co.uk/us/fun/i-shot-the-serif/ - This game is called I Shot The Serif, here you need to shoot at a speed at the serif, but not the grotesque(sans-serif).

A deep understanding of typefaces empowers designers to establish clear visual hierarchies, ensure text legibility, and effectively convey the intended message of written content.

"I Shot the Serif" is a game that tests your ability to swiftly recognize serif fonts. At the outset, you're presented with two letters, one of which is in a serif font. Your task is to"shoot the serif" by clicking on the correct letter before time runs out. As you advance, the game becomes increasingly demanding, presenting more letters simultaneously, thus intensifying the challenge of identifying and shooting the serif styles.

This game promises to keep you on your toes! This game is surprising by its enduring difficulty even after several rounds of play.

https://typewar.com/ - This game is called Typewar. It offers yet another avenue for typeface training, putting your ability to identify various typefaces to the test. Each round presents a glyph, and your task is to select the correct typeface name from a pair of options. Your performance earns or deducts points, and the final score is influenced by how many other players answered the same question correctly.

With its instant feedback, real-time statistics, and exposure to lesser-known fonts, Typewar serves as a motivating platform for continual learning.

The X-Rite Color Challenge and Hue Test

https://www.xrite.com/hue-test - Next game is a very cool challenge in which you need to arrange the colors in the palette in the correct sequence. The task is complicated since all the palettes consist of muted pastel shades.

Do you belong to 1 in 255 women or 1 in 12 men with a color vision deficiency? Whether you're in a profession where color matters or simply intrigued by your color perception, our online challenge is here for you. Derived from the Farnsworth Munsell 100 Hue Test, it offers a fast, enjoyable method to test your color vision skills.

Keep in mind, though, this isn't a substitute for the comprehensive test!

The Boolean Game

https://boolean.method.ac/ - The Boolean Game serves as an interactive tutorial on Boolean operations, essential for efficiently crafting and modifying 2D shapes in vector-based design software.

Here's how it works: You're presented with a shape to replicate, which then transforms into an outline after a brief period. On the left side of the screen, various shapes are available for you to drag into the outline, gradually reconstructing the final shape. Along the bottom of the screen, four Boolean operations-union, subtract, intersect, and difference-are provided. Clicking the Continue button initiates a step-by-step animation illustrating the merging process using the selected Boolean operation. This animation aids in visualizing any mistakes made when selecting the incorrect operation.

The Bezier Game

https://bezier.method.ac/ - Another valuable tool for enhancing your vector skills is The Bézier Game, designed to refine your precision in creating graphics using the pen tool.

Through introductory tutorials, you'll learn to utilize controls like alt and shift to position anchor points and manipulate Bézier handles effectively. The game guides you through drawing both simple geometric shapes and more intricate designs, such as hearts and cars, with minimal anchor points or nodes. Each level provides a set number of nodes, and the game tracks unused nodes to maintain engagement.We appreciate this game for its ability to illustrate the correlation between anchor point placement and Bézier handle angles, resulting in smoother lines and curves.

Can't Unsee

https://cantunsee.space/ - This game helps you pick the most correct design and improve your UI/UX skills.

Can't Unsee is an interactive game tailored for designers seeking to hone their visual discernment skills. In this game, players are presented with pairs of designs, each containing subtle differences in elements like typography, layout, color, or spacing. The objective is to identify and pinpoint the discrepancies between the two designs within a given time frame.

With each correct identification, players earn points and unlock more challenging levels. The game provides instant feedback on their selections, helping them learn basic design principles and understand why one design is more visually effective than the other.
