Again another topic that might have been done to death I know, but i'd like to know which designers (if any) or creative folk have in some way inspired you or who do you admire?

Stefan Sagmeister, Paula Scher, Tibor Kalman all immediately come to mind.
And then writers who are great thinkers, Virginia Woolf, William Faulkner, Flannery O'Conner, Carson McCullers.

For me personally...
Otl Aicher great mind brilliant work too.
Bruno Monguzzi & Jean Widmer I find good in their work the more expressive of the Swiss designers.Today...
Vince Frost, Cartlidge Levene also like what I've seen of MadeThought.

jazx, true, true but when people look at your/or my work they will always try to cite your idea to the work of a designer/artist of the past. I think it is in our nature.

Stanley Donwood of the Radiohead artwork.
Cubism, but I can't really say who is the most influential.
