Fred Woodard played an important role in the design industry. He was best known for his legendary work in the Rolling Stone Magazine, where he had been working for 14 years. He worked with typography and photography in the Rolling Stone and changed it for the better. The positioning of groups of words, or letters created an emotion or expression.
Woodard was an influential designer not only because of being president of society of publication Design and the youngest member in the NY art director Hall of fame, but was also nominated for 8 National Magazine awards, including general excellence, design, photography, and photo portfolio.

Tibor Kalman:
In the mid- 1980s two names changed graphic design Macintosh and Tibor. Kalman died in 1999 of lymphoma. He was very influential and defined good design as "unexpected and untried." He believed it should be used to increase public awareness of a variety of social issues. He even had his own design firm M&Co which started in 1979 selling conventional "Design by the Pound" to banks and department stores. He had his own magazine, colors, which he became editor-in-chief and rejected fashion magazine cliches in favor of sociopolitical issues. It was the first magazine for the global village Tibor announced.

Alexi Brodovitch:
Remembered as the art director of Harper's Bazaar for nearly a quarter of a century. He played a crucial role in introducing into the US a radically simplified "modern" graphic design style forged in Europe in the 1920s from an amalgam of vanguard movements in art and design. He took an active role in conceiving and commissioning all forms of graphic art and he specialized in discovering and showcasing young and unknown talent. Throughout his career, he continued to teach. He was inspiring though sometimes harsh and unrelenting.

Neville Brody:
According to Fontfont.com. Brody is perhaps the best known designer of his generation. He spent 3 years studying at the London college of printing where his work , which was quite experimental in nature, was met with unfavorable criticism because the school generally taught traditional printing methods. He was the art director for the Face magazine where he worked from 1980 to 1993. Brody was also a major contributor to FUSE and was an avid user of the computer as a design tool during its developmental stages. He has designed several popular typefaces including Arcadia, Industria, Insignia, FF blur, FF pop, FF gothic, and FF Harlem.
