This is the book that started it all for me. No one should be allowed to call themselves a graphic designer if they don't have a copy of this book.
Milton Glaser
Absolutely, my hero in graphic design. In college, I discovered Milton and the Push Pin Studio and my life was never the same.
Milton Glaser: Art is Work - Graphic Design, Interiors, Objects and Illustration
Milton Glaser
Again with Milton. I don't believe you can find a better role model that Mr. Glaser.
Shirley Glaser
Done in collaboration with his wife, Shirley, Milton provides the illustrations.
Milton Glaser, Jerome Snyder
One of Milton's early colaborations on food.
Jean Michel and Milton Glaser. FOLON
I received this as a paper sample from a printing company. Oh, the glory days of paper company marketing!
Seymour Chwast
Running a close second to Milton, if not in front at times, is Seymour. I had the pleasure of showing him and his wife, Paula Scher, (a design god in her own right) around Albuquerque back in 1989 as a part of speakers conference our advertising club had.

The Graphic Art of Michael Schwab
B. Martin Pedersen
Mr. Schwab makes elegant, evocative logos and posters. I have made several attempts to emulate him with much less success.
Steven Heller
You can't know where you're going if you don't know where you've been. Learn about Paul Rand and learn where graphic design is going. He prepared the way.
Paula Scher
"Scher believes a designer can explain to ordinary people how extraordinary design can be." -- Communication Arts, February 2003
Stefan Sagmeister, Peter Hall
Sagmeister came into his own in the 1980's and '90's and helped define those times.
Pentagram Partners
The only studio to give Push Pin a run for its money has been Pentagram.
Plexifilm
Objectified is a feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them.
