Neville Brody

Born in 1957, Neville Brody is a London born designer who studied design in the 1970’s. His work caught the eye of The Face magazine, where he worked from 1980 to 1993. The magazine set the trends of successful designs during the time. In 1994 he formed Neville Brody Studio which has offices in London, paris, Berlin, and Barcelona. He created the type foundry Fontworks and over 20 other typefaces throughout his career. One thing I like about his style is that he doesn't stick to just one form of text. As you can see in my banner he uses more than just one style of text for each of his works, and they all have a different feel to them.

Herb Lubalin

Herb Lubalin created the typeface Avant Garde, after the success of Avant Garde Magazine. However that was not the extent of his career. He helped found the International Typeface Corporation. He was one of the most successful art directors of the 20th century and had a passion for inventiveness. He had offices in paris and London and had partnerships with individuals such as Aaron Burns, Tom Carnase, Ernie Smith and Ralph Ginzburg. He graduated from Cooper Union and later spent his time visiting as a professor there as well as designed their logo. What i really like about His work is how he finds ways to work imagery into the text. Like in his Say Brother piece the S is an image of two different peoples arms, presumably brothers, locking together by the hands.

Marian Bantjes

Marian was born in Canada in 1963 and spent the first half of her career as a typesetter for books. however, she left being a typesetter for books and joined the Canada design studio digitopolis in 1994. Working as a graphic designer, she flourished until 2003 when she left to pursue her own interests and style of work. She’s worked for large name companies such as The Guardian and the New York Times. She worked with extremely detailed letterforms and other ornaments. She has also created he down typeface, called Restraint. What I like about her style is how complex she makes it. In my banner, the last two pictures are really complex and unique, and even though it’s kinda hard to tell what they say they still look cool
