Supramatism-

• El Lissitzky

He had Tuberculosis, but he still continued to work hard. He had a positive and friendly demeanor. This demeanor may have influenced his ideas that design should be able to communicate in any nation where much of the population was illiterate. He preferred designing with flat geometric shapes and colors. He also used a lot of diagonal grids instead of the square grid that is so prevalent.



























Constructivism-

• Aleksandr Rodchenko

He started as a painter but then quit painting to further the cause of constructivism and avante garde. He was a very diverse individual with a sense of humor. With his humor, he did a lot of work in serving the Russian Revolution. He used a lot of photography, and by so doing he created the photomontage technique. Along with the photomontage, he used a lot of sans serif type, heavy rules, and, like Lissitzky, diagonal grids.
