Piet Zwart

Piet Zwart (1885-1977), Dutch photographer, typographer, and industrial designer. Of the De Stijl period, he uses "principles of constructivism" in his work, bold, sans-serif type, primary colors, geometrical shapes, and repeated word patterns... Most of his work (275 designs) were for the Dutch Postal Telegraph and Telephone Company (NKF). 

Google search: Piet Zwart for more info, also a few books available at the MCAD library. Personally, I really like his use of transparent photo overlays in his work, as well as the sharp angles of text.
