A Look to “Graphic Designer”s World…

RUEDI BAUR

Ruedi Baur, designer. Diploma in Graphic Design at the School for Art and Design Zurich in 1979. Since 1989 in Paris and 2002 in Zurich his ateliers „intégral ruedi baur et associés“ and „integral ruedi baur zürich“ develop two- and threedimensional projects in different fields of visual communication. He has been teaching on a regular basis since 1987. From 1989 until 1994 he headed the design department of the École des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, between 1993 and 1996 the graduate programme „espace civiques et design“. 1995 he is appointed professor for corporate design at the Leipzig School for Art and Design, where he also takes on the rectorate from 1997 until 2000. 1999 he founds the institute for interdisciplinary design „2id“. Since 2004 Ruedi Baur has been heading the research institute „Design2context“ at the School of Art and Design Zurich.

I really like his style! He uses typography as his main source and nearly on all his works he creates a colorful pattern with letters. Here are some of his designs. I searched for him in a book and really admired one of his works but couldn’t find it on the web. Still searching with hope to update my post…

“Good design doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes the best ideas are the most straightforward”

VINCE FROST

Based in Sydney, via London and Canada, Vince Frost began his creative ascent in 1989 working for Pentagram London, becoming their youngest Associate just three years later at age 27. Staring his own creative studio, Frost Design, in 1994, he has created award-winning work for clients as diverse as The Independent newspaper, Nike, The Spice Girls, Macquarie Bank and Sydney Dance Company. Vince’s work links the divide between art and commerce, and includes anything from postage stamps to magazines, books, identities, TV advertising, art direction, online and the built environment. His career arc has been documented in a retrospective at the Sydney Opera House and in a 500-page book, and by Awards from many design societies.

I admired his works! While searching for favorite graphic designers I faced with his digital works and the way he uses to combine letters together, I mean his ability to load very dense meanings to the letters just charmed me. Then I decided to search more about him and found his design company. The works they done are just amazing I felt like I just want to work for such a company. Here are some of his and his company members’ works under different disciplines such as; posters, television, magazines, motion, digital,environmental ,book design, identities, corporate literature. My best is the poster work for Sydney Design Company!
