[@bethgaffney1405]

Most of these guys I'd call illustrators over graphic designers, yet amazingly talented nonetheless.

[@adrianboysel]

There are definitely a few that are illustrators on this list, but I think they do fall into the graphic design category as well though. Thanks for saying Hi Beth! :)

[@rjlee818]

Definitely agree. These are mostly illustrators.

[@drewgray2919]

[@adrianboysel]

Thank you so much 😊

[@adrianboysel]

QUESTION: Who is your favorite *graphic designer* or all time?

[@abdulhadihadi5631]

It's been almost two months since I became interested in graphics design. I was currently watching randomly videos. And subscribed to some youtube channels. Who upload videos about graphic design and freelancing. And I also like your contect 😊👍🏻 I'm Shujat Ur Rehman

[@abdulhadihadi5631]

Like Dom Designs 😁😊

[@abdulhadihadi5631]

Subscribed.

[@mjolninja9358]

I was about to subscribe until i saw the latest uploads 😂

[@adrianboysel]

@mjolninja9358 what about them?

[@MrJOHNMICHAELVEGA]

What happened to Paul Rand?

[@rjlee818]

This is really more about the best illustrators. Maybe.

[@stewarts8597]

Scher is the only one in your group i would consider all time... Saul Bass, Paul Rand, Milton Glaser would be some I would consider all time designers in my book.

[@strangerstech8481]

Make a video about history of design and how it evolves bro.

[@adrianboysel]

AMAZING SUGGESTION!!!!

[@auradust]

Most of the names in this list looks like they are people in creative industries you personally like or acquainted with. Most of them are not even in the craft of graphic design, let alone being GOATS of it, except Haviv and Scher.

[@adrianboysel]

Did you even read the description of the video? Lol. This is my opinion, thanks for sharing yours.

[@auradust]

You speak of your selection criteria in video too and I listened to it. If you have titled this video as "my favorite graphic designers" I would still disagree with your definition of what graphic designer is, because most of the names you mentioned are not primarily graphic designers. Yet, I wouldn't be bothered to comment. But since you have the audacity to call them GOATS of graphic design, you could at least make sure you they are primarily graphic designers. :)

[@adrianboysel]

@auradust sadly, I don't think you understand what a graphic designer is. There are many disciplines and niches's. Appreciate the feedback, I stick with my position they are all designers.

[@Moodboard39]

@@adrianboyselu could've emphasis your statement. " My favorite graphics designer" This people people have contributed to the field it doesn't automatically make them GOAT. That's ridiculous. why? Just because they have huge following? That means peanuts. To make them legendary u would've mention Paul rand or Saul bass. Not these people on Instagram lol what a joke.. “Adrian, calling Instagram illustrators the ‘GOATs of graphic design’ is like calling TikTok dancers the greatest choreographers of all time. Sure, they’re talented, but let’s not confuse popularity with legacy. Your list feels more like a curated gallery of people you follow on Instagram than an actual homage to the giants of the field. Where are the legends who built the foundations of graphic design-people whose work shaped entire industries? Saul Bass? Paul Rand? Paula Scher? Oh wait, you included Scher-good job Googling the bare minimum. Also, defending this list by saying it’s just your opinion is a cop-out. If you’re naming GOATs, you’re making a claim, not sharing a preference. Opinions are fine, but not when they ignore the basics of what graphic design even is. You might as well have called it ‘Adrian’s Top 10 Instagram Aesthetics.’ And don’t get me started on your claim that ‘they’re all designers.’ Sure, by that logic, anyone with Canva and an Instagram account is a graphic designer too, right? Why stop there-maybe we should call every kid who doodles in their math notebook the GOAT of graphic design as well. Bottom line: The title of ‘GOAT’ carries weight. It’s not just about who you like on Instagram but who’s defined, disrupted, or elevated the field. Until you acknowledge that, your list is just a vibe check, not a professional statement.”

[@musicpatron1693]

hahaa..i just met Michael Fugoso yesterday in San Antonio!

[@63artemisia63]

To begin with, maybe you should have told viewers who you are (in graphic design) and why we should care who you think is great.

[@adrianboysel]

Amazing advice. Thanks so much!

[@cblk4593]

No offense, but this aint it. All these “graphic designers” you mentioned are undeniably great, but not the GOAT. Your tittle is very misleading, specially for new aspiring designers.

[@adrianboysel]

Thank you for the feedback. Inwent with people who are currently in the field doingndesign hands-on, not people like Paula Scher, or Saul Bass. I've been in the field 17.years and I consider these people at the top of their game. I think it's time to make an updated video anyways.

[@anthonyfowler6147]

Adrian Boysell is my favorite Graphic design artist!

[@adrianboysel]

you rock bro!

[@PhilTravisano]

Who is my favorite graphic designer? I'm going to have to go with Raymond Loewy.

[@adrianboysel]

Legend!!!

[@chelletruman4730]

Fugstrator is my favorite, present company excluded.

[@adrianboysel]

Awwww :) @fugoso is amazing. So unique and innovative, I want to learn some AR so I can incorporate it into my design work.

[@Graphiclee63]

10 greatest Graphic Designers of all time? WTF? I get it, you're young, but your way, way, waaaaay off. Most of these are digital illustrators, not graphic designers. I'll help you out on who's really great at graphic design. Lincoln Design Group, ObeyGiant, 123Klan, Draplin Design.

[@adrianboysel]

Love Draplin, I picked ones that I personally think are the best, not onea the industry says are the best

Hi

[@NicolasLucaYuri]

i disagree

[@NicolasLucaYuri]

i messure with how impossible the artists figma animation to develop is

[@gvrxil]

burnt toast art is horrible, flat soulless corporate art with nothing to it.

[@adrianboysel]

@gvrxil I humbly disagree and his results and success speak for itself. It's fun, unique, and super memorable.

[@gvrxil]

@@adrianboysel Regardless of our disagreement, success doesn't necessarily entail whether something is good or not. There is alot of hyper successful mainstream industry slop music out there, doesn't mean it's actually good. I see that you actually make very good content that requires research and a good deal of editing yet you aren't as successful as many brainrot channels out there.

[@adrianboysel]

@gvrxil that's true, I don't make the best videos yet and the youtube algorithm shows that. I work really hard on each video to give my take on designers I'm a huge fan of that inspire me that others may not know about. I appreciate the dialogue and insight. Understanding is definitely more important than agreement. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
