As for Storm Thorgerson, he is a modern day graphic designer and film maker. His work reflects surrealism, and resembles Dali. His designs are very intriguing and fun to look at mainly because they don't seem real,...yet they look real. So I sit and stare for a very long time, looking for some sort of imperfection to signal fake, but I can't find any. He plays around with photography and making the images look real in a very strange composition, and they are always very fun to look at. One image that comes to mind is his garbage ball of junk, which is placed alongside a random man. It allows (gullible) people such as myself to actually believe it's real, or else it evolves into a serious debate. Storm Thorgerson's work has to be some of the best stuff I've seen so far because I enjoy the 3D aspect of it.

Chantry and Thorgerson
Art Chantry is a graphic artist who was inspired by music throughout his design. He worked with clients such as Nirvana, Hole and the Sonics. His images appear to be very layered with a lot of color. They look flat and are illustrated nicely. He seems to play with bright yellows mixed with oranges and reds frequently. However, his designs are pushed along with their creative use of typography as it's loud and bold. He doesn't follow all rules of typography, which is clear in his uneven baselines and how he lines everything up.
