Paul Rand Though he would become one of the premier graphic designers Paul Rand was born Peretz Rosenbaum on August 15, 1914 in a strict Orthodox Jewish home in Brooklyn, New York. He started painting and designing as extracurricular activity in public high school, went on to earn an art certificate at Pratt Institute, and attended classes at Parsons School of Design and Art Students’ League, but was largely self-taught in design. From reading European art and design books and magazines, he brought European modernism to his own work and eventually introduced its influence to the graphic design industry as a whole in the United States. He established the so-called Swiss Style in the United States. Paul Rand began his professional career as an illustrator of stock advertising images for Metro Associated Services in 1934, but expanded his design portfolio through freelance work and an apprenticeship for package and industrial designer George Switzer’s studio.
At the age of eleven his step father gave him his first camera. But his interest in photography began when he was traveling to Peru when in college. Then this changed from social commentary to a narrative based/fashion photography while he was studying his degree at the University of Brighton located in the United Kingdom. When he was making his opportunities in London with his college portfolio, he got introduced to Mario Testino, then soon joined Testino in Paris as an his assistant.

At this time, special emphasis was placed on staging the shots, a process that was first developed by Baron Adolf de Meyer, who would shot his models in natural environments and poses. Vogue was followed by its rival, Harper's Bazaar, and the two companies were leaders in the field of fashion photography throughout the 1920s and 1930s. House photographers such as Edward Steichen, George Hoyningen-Huene, Horst P. Horst and Cecil Beaton transformed the genre into an outstanding art form. Europe, and especially Germany, was for a short time the leader in fashion photography. But now with that change in time every country has taken considerable measures to promote the field of photography.

After graduating military school, Salinger returned home and attended New York University for a year before heading to Europe. Salinger was greatly encouraged by his father to study business and to learn another language during his stay in Europe. However, Salinger would pay much more attention to language than business.
