presentations day 1

Well, the presentations started. We heard presentations on April Greiman, Milton Glaser(my presentation), and Seymour Chwast. April Greiman was born in 1948 in New York. Her mother, father and aunt raised her and taught her to ask a lot of questions when growing up. She has some early inspirations such as you cant fake the cha-cha and determination and hard work. She was educated at the Rhode Island school of design, Kansas City Art Institute, and the Basel School of design in Switzerland. She started a New Wave of Design with Wolfgang Weinhart and she took a break from normal typography. She changed the weight, spacing, size and angle with working with typography. She is known for "the desert", Cal Arts, "Iris light", and "Inventing flight". To this day she still has a design business and she likes to work with architects. April Greiman had a major impact on Graphic design.
Now onto Seymour Chwast. He was born in New York City in 1931. He attended Cooper Union along with Milton Glaser. The both of them along with two others created Push Pin Studios. He preferred working with the speed ball pen and ink than anything else. A lot of his images were images with type around it because he felt that the image was a bit more important than the type and didn't want the type to overpower the image. He has also worked with children's book illustrations and packing products, but he prefers the poster over anything else because it allows him to do pretty much anything he wants.
