Carlo Vivarelli
the swiss/International designer that created the 'design manual' would have to be one of my favourite designers from history. the fact that he brought in columns and grids, something i use a lot in my work. also the use of the 'rule of thirds'. i also like to work with simplicity so his work/idea of design.
