El Lissitzky

El Lissitzky was a Russian artist, designer, typographer, photographer and architect. He designed many exhibitions and propaganda for the Soviet Union. His experimentation with production techniques and stylistic characteristics have been an influence on designers since. His earlier years were used to develop a style of painting in which he used abstract geometric shapes. He was a cultural representative of Russia for awhile and produced propaganda posters, books, buildings and exhibitions for the Soviet Union.

Max Huber

Max Huber began his career in the Avant-garde environment. At 21 he went to Milan to the centre of the avant-garde art manifesto. Huber saw Milan as the melting pot for illustration, painting, photography and printing; where he was able to exchange ideas with people his own age and other intellectuals of the design world. After the second world war Huber worked as a freelance designer with the belief design had the capacity to restore human values. He balanced his clients needs with his own need to experiment. This lead to many revolutionary designs of mixed unframed flat photographic and typographic elements. He was not influenced by fashion but his own basic ideas.
