Leo Burnett
He started his own company known today as Leo Burnett Worldwide. He focused on creating an identity for the product, not obessing about how it was better than other products. And thus created some of the most well known icons such as Jolly Green Giant, Toucan Sam, Pillsbury Doughboy, Tony the Tiger, and the 7up 'spot.'
Clement Mok
His roots go back to Apple, as a software publisher/developer. Breaking off from apple he founded Studio Archetype and NetObjects Inc. While very good at logo designs, he was also versatile enough to do package design and product development.
Stefan Sagmeister
He began working for Kalman's M&Co design company. He then went to form his own design copany, Sagmeister Inc and has since then designed icons, graphics and packaging for clients such as the Rolling Stones, HBO and Time Warner.

Presentations May 6th
We covered three designers today. The first designer was April Greiman, who seemed to have a real knacked for combining various mediums in one harmonious unity. Victoria and I chose her as the best Graphic Designer out of the bunch because of her smooth transition from doing work by screen printing, and then later on moving to the computer. My quote that sticks foremost in my mind is the one that April's mother told her “You can’t fake the cha-cha.” The second designer we looked at was Milton Glaser, who did some amazing works such as 'I <3 New York' and the bob dylan poster in the History of Graphic Design book. He founded Push Pin Studios, and really explored color and form. Finally we talked about Seymour Chwast, another member of Push Pin Studios. This presentation was probably the best in encomusing the artist's creative style.
