When April was young, she danced with her mother and was influenced by the advice given to her. She was told to be strong and determined and to work hard in order to achieve. She had little knowledge of graphic design but was determined and eventually became aware of American Modernism. She learned a new way of design. She incorporated irregular spacing, angles and sizing, which was an original approach compared to other designers during that time. April found new ways to design rather than copying from the past. She turned 2-D designs into 3-D and also combined digital elements. I really liked her text because it was so randomly created. It really caught my eye when I saw it.
Milton Glaser
Milton founded the Push Pin Studios along with many other people. His designs were simple, yet they were very original. He founded the New York Magazine, WBMG ( a studio dedicated to magazine and newspaper design work), and Milton Glaser, Inc. His work was influenced by Art Nouveau and Pop Art. Two of his well-known posters are Bob Dillan with colorful, art nouveau-like hair, and the I love NY poster.
Seymour Chwast
This designer was influenced by Walt Disney cartoons and he took image and text into consideration. He worked with woodcuts, flat colors, and the speedball pen. He incorporated Art Nouveau and the Victorian style into his work. He liked to surround the images with text. Logos and posters were created by this designer, and he preferred to design posters over anything else because he had a greater freedom to use imagery and text. I liked his work a lot because he was so random and created such interesting designs.
