Graphic Design USA has just published its 2017 People To Watch special feature. Looking back over more than five decades, here are as many of our Past People To Watch as we can find in our sometimes uneven records. As you peruse the list, you will find several undisputed historical giants including Saul Bass, Ivan Chermayeff, Lou Dorfsman, Milton Glaser, George Lois, Massimo Vignelli. You will also find many more legends, near legends, and legends-to-be. For a designer, it’s “people watching” at its best.
