I was also reading Gaiman/Sandman - covers by Dave McKean which also played a huge influence.

His album covers for Pink Floyd's Animals, Wish You Were Here, The Division Bell, A Momentary Lapse of Reason, and Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy changed my life.

ahh yes.
storm was another big influence on me as well...
I've read interviews with him, and own a few books of his work, namely 'walk away rene'
as well as Nick Masons book...
it's neat to see how young he was when he started collaborating with Pink Floyd...what an incredible history of art and design they've shared....between 4ad and storms hipgnosis, man...they really influenced me a ton...
in many ways, so did euro comic artists like http://www.druillet.com/

4ad was awesome!
this mortal coil's filigree & shadow was my first introduction to them, and i still think it's the most beautifully designed album i own. i'm still amazed at how contemporary it feels.

Saville is very much alive, he's the creative director of Manchester.
I never really have a favorite designer i tend to find other disciplines produce more interesting work (like oma and mdrv in architecture)
But in the field of graphic design I respect:
Daniel Eatock
Bob Gill
Erik Speikermann
Derek Birdsall
Mr C Place's more recent work
Ken Garland
