In this task I should take five people give my influence in this filed. These can be designers, artists, musicians, writers and so on.
This is my five biggest influence :-
1 . PABLO PICASSO
Pablo Picasso was a Spanish
painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer who spent most of
his adult life in France. As one of the greatest and most influential artist of
the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed
sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that
he helped and explore. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist. Picasso, Henri Matisse and Marcel Duchamp are
regarded as the three artist who most defined the revolutionary developments in
the plastic arts in the opening decades
of the 20th century, responsible for significant developments in painting,
sculpture, printmaking and ceramics.

2 . Typography
The aritist of typography is Craig Ward is a
British born designer and art director currently in New York. Occasional
artist, sometimes author and a contributor to several industry journals, he is
known primarily for his pioneering typographic works. This website reprsents a
selection of his output since his graduation in 2003. Underpinning all of his
work-be it typography,illustration or a music video-is the belief that the end
result should be largely informed by the process that gave birth to it. His
love to create original and unrepeatable letterforms using various uncontrolled and unconventional means or
materials and also fond of juxtaposing clean, classically designed typography
with chaotic and organic materials and processes.

3. Neville Brody
Neville
Brody is an internationally renowned designer, typographer, art director and brand strategist. As founder of the
Research Studios network and partner in each of our operations, his insight,
methodology and appetite for excellence inform every aspect of our work. Neville
Brody is one of the most influential graphic designers of the late 20th
Century.
His work
in the 1980’s revolutionised the look of magazines, advertisements, album
covers and
packaging. He is most well known for his ground-breaking design and
typography
( lettering) for the magazine ‘The
Face.’ He is also known for his album
cover
designs for the record company, ‘Rough
Trade’, and various poster designs .
He grew up
in Southgate, North London and said that for as long as he can remember
he wanted
to ‘do art or painting’, consequently he studied Fine Art at Hornsey
College of
Art. However he began to feel that the Fine Art world was becoming
elitist
and that if he continued in this area his work would only find a limited
audience,
he thought,” Why can’t you take a painterly approach within the printed
medium?”
He wanted to communicate to as many people as possible, so in 1976, he
began his
degree course in Graphic Design at London College of Printing. Brody is mainly
known for his use of typography. Brody’s opinion was that people
read
magazines in a different manner from the way they read books. When reading a
magazine
people tend to browse; they don’t read it straight through from the
beginning
to the end. Readers tend go back and forth picking out the interesting bits.
Brody
decided to use this idea as a basis for his designs. This meant that a variety
of different
sizes and
styles of lettering would be on the same page, which was very unusual at
this time.
In his designs for the “The Face” magazine,
he arranged the type in
diagonals
or in circles, some letters were extra large, some undersized. Brody decided
that the typography (i.e. lettering) should be an integral part of the whole
design and
be given
equal importance.

4. Photographer
Mark Graf is an
internationally published nature photographer from Detroit, Michigan with more
than 15 years experience in creating and providing fine art nature photographs.
With an interest in a wide range of nature subjects, his lens has drawn him to
explore natural wonders in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, to the wildlife and
majestic landscapes of Alaska, to intimate details and patterns formed over
millennia in the depths of stone. One of his guiding philosophies was best
remarked by John Muir in 1869; "When we try to pick out anything by itself we find that it is
bound fast by a thousand invisible cords that cannot be broken, to everything
in the universe. " Examples of this are everywhere, from
wildlife habitat and behavior to the smallest details of a section of stone, to
looking out towards the galaxy.. These connections in nature become a muse for
his photography. They also guide his philosophy in support for wildlife and
habitat preservation, from our mountains to the depths of our oceans. Landscape, creative macro and closeups, abstract wall art, black
and white, wildflowers, artistic rock pictures, and wildife imagery for sale as
fine art nature prints, gallery canvas wraps, and stock photos. Featuring a
specialty in Michigan and the Great Lakes region for scenic landscape
photography.

5. Salvador
Dali
Salvador Dali
it is Spanish painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and designer. After passing
through phases of Cubism, Futurism and Metaphysical painting, he joined the
Surrealists in 1929 and his talent for self-publicity rapidly made him the most
famous representative of the movement. Throughout his life he cultivated
eccentricity and exhibitionism (one of his most famous acts was appearing in a
diving suit at the opening of the London Surrealist exhibition in 1936),
claiming that this was the source of his creative energy. He took over the
Surrealist theory of automatism but transformed it into a more positive method
which he named `critical paranoia'. According to this theory one should
cultivate genuine delusion as in clinical paranoia while remaining residually aware
at the back of one's mind that the control of the reason and will has been
deliberately suspended. He claimed that this method should be used not only in
artistic and poetical creation but also in the affairs of daily life. His
paintings employed a meticulous academic technique that was contradicted by the
unreal `dream' space he depicted and by the strangely hallucinatory characters
of his imagery. He described his pictures as `hand-painted dream photographs'
and had certain favorite and recurring images, such as the human figure with
half-open drawers protruding from it, burning giraffes, and watches bent and
flowing as if made from melting wax (The Persistence of Memory, MOMA,
New York; 1931). In 1937 Dalí visited Italy and adopted a more traditional style; this
together with his political views (he was a supporter of General Franco) led
Breton to expel him from the Surrealist ranks. He moved to the USA in 1940 and
remained there until 1955. During this time he devoted himself largely to
self-publicity; his paintings were often on religious themes (The
Crucifixion of St John of the Cross, Glasgow Art Gallery, 1951), although
sexual subjects and pictures centring on his wife Gala were also continuing
preoccupations. In 1955 he returned to Spain and in old age became a recluse.
Apart from painting, Dalí's output
included sculpture, book illustration, jewellery design, and work for the
theatre. In collaboration with the director Luis Buñuel he also made the first
Surrealist films Un chien andalou (1929) and L'Age d'or (1930) and he
contributed a dream sequence to Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound (1945).
He also wrote a novel, Hidden Faces (1944) and several volumes of flamboyant
autobiography. Although he is undoubtedly one of the most famous artists of the
20th century, his status is controversial; many critics consider that he did
little if anything of consequence after his classic Surrealist works of the
1930s. There are museums devoted to Dalí's work in Figueras, his home town in
Spain, and in St Petersburg in Florida.
