The 3 designers that interest me the most are : Morag Myerscough, Paul Rand and Peter Saville
Paul Rand
Paul Rand, who was born as Peretz Rosenbaum on August 15, 1914 was a well-known American graphic designer, best known for his logo designs. He was born in Brooklyn but as Orthodox Jewish law forbids being worshipped as idols he was up against a difficult battle. He started painting signs for his fathers store. He also participated in helping in school events with his creative talent.Pauls father didn’t feel as though art would give him a good education so pushed for him to work hard at school. He was educated at the Pratt Institute, the Parsons School of Design and the Art Students League.
Rand’s career first started with part time roles creating stock images for a graphic design company. His graphics were displayed in a number of different newspapers and magazines. Working hard between classes he managed to get together an impressive portfolio. It was at this time that he decided to change his name to Paul Rand. The symmetrical four lettered forename and surname appealed to him. 
With his new identity in his early 20s he started creating work which was recognised worldwide. He also started off working for no fee to have full creative control, thus getting his name well known.
Although he became famous for the corporate logos he created in the 1950 such as IMB, UPS and ABC, his page design work created his reputation. He was given the job of creating the page layouts for an Apparel Arts magazine which then earned him a full time job as well as a job offer to become art director of a magazine. He rejected this offer as he didn’t think he was up to the spec they required. A year later he accepted the job as the young age of 23. 
After having a wide range of educational experience he became one of the original creators of the Swiss International style of Graphic design. This style was first seen in 1956 and then remerged in 1974. He continued to work in education and taught Graphic deisgn at Yale University in Connecticut. Paul was inducted into the New York Art Directors Club Hallf of Fame in 1972 which is a huge achievement.
Peter Saville
Probably most noted for his record and album cover designs for Factory Records, Peter Saville was a designer whose career spanned several decades. His early work, in the late 1970s and early 80s, included album covers for several bands on the Factory Records label, but the ones that achieved the highest level of fame were for New Order and Joy Division. The bands that really brought the record label into the spotlight, Saville designed the covers for many of the two groups albums between the years of 1979 and 2005.
He was notably influenced by the book Pioneers of Modern Typography by Herbert Spencer. The book included information that explained how modern typography had actually developed out of the ideas of 20th century painting, poetry and architecture, and not from the development of the printing industry. He was particularly influenced by the work of Jan Tschichold and his disciplined, yet subtle approach to typography. After Factory Records he worked for DinDisc, spent three years as a partner at Pentagram, was an art director at Frankfurt Balkind and eventually started his own studio. Throughout his career he has worked in the music industry, creating album covers for bands including Duran Duran, Wham! and Roxy Music.
