Laurie Rosenwald

With an astounding teaching resume, fantastic client list, and keen sense of reality of the design world, Laurie Rosenwald is quite the formidable character. She is an accomplished professor, author, designer, painter, mixed-media artist, typographer, animator, humorist and actress (she once had a small speaking role on the Sopranos). She also directs an acclaimed workshop titled How to Make Mistakes on Purpose.

Ms. Rosenwald brings a unique design aesthetic and rational messiness to her work, all tempered by a great dose of humor. I found myself laughing out loud multiple times while vising her site. To say that she is seriously impressive and magnificently inspiring would be an understatement. Take a look at her site, and be ready for some surprises!

Take that, YCN!

Mr. Blanchet's illustration looks like it's right out of the 1950s. His character design is truly excellent. I just wish there was more of his excellent work on his site!

Fashion photographer Emilio Tini approaches his work with equal parts quirkiness and irreverence, which makes for some great images. The shots with stickers and props crudely constructed from cardboard are not to be missed.
