Thanks!… Very much it was useful
@Jacob Cass: Thanks for the link, excellent interview as well!
@Fubiz: Thanks for the feedback :)
@Sergio: Oops. Nice catch. I wish you all the best.
Most of these people would be classed as illustrators, not designers. There is a huge difference. Both disciplines take a huge amount of skill and creative talent, and these people have bucketloads of both, but the majority are still illustrators.
I agree with Juan , these are illustrators .
Masters of GD would be Neville Brody or David Carson or Vignelli etc.
Having said that, these illustrators are real good!
@Juan Rodriguez, @George Paul,
You are right, many of these guys are illustrators but most of them happen to be designers as well. I just didn’t want to have a long title saying so.
I do appreciate your comment, and I do encourage discussions in the comment section, and your concerns are truly valid. Thanks guys :)
Yep! you are so cool!
Here’s a site linking to 9 more great illustrators.
This is amazing. I only just found this page and I’m so flattered that an interview with me was included.
I suppose it’s one of the beautiful side-effect of the internet that an absolute nobody like me can feel slightly important for a few minutes.
Thanks so much.
I really appreciate it :)
