Summary:

Esteemed by designers around the world, these are the visionaries who created the identities of some of the world's largest corporations; the shower scene in Psycho; film titles for The Shining, Cape Fear, and scores of other productions; sculptures; posters; advertisements; packages; and memorable images of every sort. Their work, nearly omnipresent in everyday life today, has influenced an entire culture. Presenting the story of six who shaped an era, this dynamic compendium is a smart resource for designers and artists working in any medium.
