Aurèle Sack

Aurèle Sack presents some bold, crisp, simple typographic work on his site. Mr. Sack has a keen sense of elegant form and practical function, as he successfully marries the two in his impressive work samples. He also employs an innovative, yet intuitive and functional site navigation. Be sure to give his work a look, and then a second.

Laurie Rosenwald

rosenworld.com

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!
