John Heartfield (19 June 1891, Berlin – 26 April 1968, East Berlin) was the anglicized name of the German photomontage artist Helmut Herzfeld. A link to a biography.
This was the first designer I looked at for this brief (I decided to just pick a random name to start with), choosing to base my work around this guy would give me a solid structure to build around, the man had an incredibly interesting life, and produced many extremely strong pieces (which are made even stronger when you consider the times he produced them in).
One out of two so far, that isn't bad!
