Designers: April Greiman, Milton Glaser, and Seymour Chwast


April Greiman's style embraced New Wave Design. She used unusual typefaces and different angles with this style. She then started using a more 3D aspect to her design. She inspired people to start using computers to design. She was very well known for her layering of imagery. She then started working with Jayme Odgers and incorporated digital and graphic images into her works.


Milton Glaser's style can be described with three words; directness, simplicity, and originality.
He established his own company Milton Glaser Inc. which has a wide range of design disciplines. He had influences with comic books, Art Nouveau, and Pop Art. He liked to leave his work up for interpretation.

Seymour Chwast was greatly influenced by comic books and Walt Disney characters. He was one of the founders of Push Pin Studio, and is also known for his posters and children's book illustrations. He likes to have a large central image with the typography on the outter edges. He liked to work with the speedball pen and with woodcuts to help with his designs.
