Fred Woodard
Woodard is a graphic designer who has worked for major magazines. His magazine designs have become iconic and his "visual language" he created for Rolling Stone magazine is something that will forever be a symbol of great graphic design in the design world. "The energy and innovation necessary to keeping a magazine fresh through almost 400 issues did not go unnoticed. In 1996 when Woodward was inducted to the Art Directors Hall of Fame he was the youngest inductee to date."
Gail Anderson
Anderson also worked for Rolling Stone magazine but now works for a company in New York called SpotCo where she designs posters, billboards, etc. for Broadway and off-Broadway shows. "A lifelong New Yorker, Anderson embodies three virtues: inspiring art director, inspired designer and inspirational teacher. Despite being deceptively low key, she does everything with intense passion."
Tibor Kalman
Salman worked as editor-in-chief of Colors magazine for five years. Prior to that he worked at Interview magazine, Barnes and Noble as a designer and he started the company M&Co. where he did work for a diverse array of clients.
Alexey Brodovitch
Brodovitch became the art director at Harper's Bazaar after the Editor-in-Chief Carmel Snow attended a show curated by Brodovitch. Brodovitch worked at the magazine from 1934-1958. Brodovitch was revolutionary in the way that he compiled his text and cropped his images. He worked with many famous people and began the careers of people like Tony Lane.
Neville Brody
"Neville Brody was born in London in 1957. He attended the London College of Printing from 1976-79 before becoming a freelance designer, mainly of record sleeves. In 1981 he became designer of The Facemagazine, where his typographic experiments won international acclaim. He went on to art direct Arena, Per Lui (Italy) and Actuel (France). A book of his collected designs, The Graphic Language of Neville Brody, was published in 1988 to coincide with a retrospective at London’s Victoria & Albert Museum. He is an enthusiastic advocate of computer-based design and in 1991 helped to launch Fuse, a disk-based ‘interactive’ magazine of new typefaces."

David Carson
Carson began his career as a high school teacher and decided to attend a design conference. After attending the conference he decided to attend a summer workshop in Switzerland where he was challenged to push the envelope. Carson took those words to heart and is known for creating stunning "cut and paste" word art for the magazine Ray-Gun.
