Herbert Bayer’s name is perhaps most closely associated with the Bauhaus—he was a student at the school and later a teacher of advertising and typography until it closed in 1928—but he had a prolific and diverse career up until he died. He worked as a commercial advertising designer in Berlin for nearly ten years, where applications of Bauhaus theory are apparent in his work through the use of sans serif fonts, primary colors and photomontage.

One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
