if you’re a graphic designer please answer this questions…
You are asking two, separate questions. You ask, on one hand, for "contemporary" artists, meaning those working today. On the other hand, you ask about outstanding designers in "history," meaning the inclusion of artists no longer working their craft.
Andy Warhol, for example is dead, so can hardly be considered a contemporary artist. Peter Max, on the other hand, who was working during the time Warhol practiced, is STILL designing today.
I would count both of them as representative of outstanding designers in modern history. I can add to that list, Roy Lichtenstein, Norman Rockwell, Boris Vallejo and Kelley Freas.
