Seems like a great summary, of print and motion people anyway.
I also agree with what tOki said. I feel like when I was in college there was almost too much focus on these kinds of people...which led to a situation where everyone focused too much on developing their own style. In the early stages of your career its better to focus on how to successfully deliver what the client needs, a skill that is lost on a lot of young designers aspiring to be the next No Pattern or Si Scott.
So my question is, how much value is there in picking out certain "heroes" when what they do doesn't have much bearing on your average designer's daily work? Are there people we can point to who don't just pursue a certain aesthetic but are actually respected for addressing business and client needs?
