Dysoning up the competition

Article Abstract:

Inventor James Dyson heads Dyson Appliances, which produces the immensely popular Dual Cyclone bagless cleaner. Dyson realized that traditional vacuum cleaners lose suction because of a fine layer of dust in the bag that clogs the pores and decreases air flow. He spent over five years designing 5,127 prototypes before developing a working model that he licensed to Japanese manufacturers. He then was unable to find a European manufacturer willing to license the product so he began his own company to market the product.

Reynolds has also designed a number of motion picture and video posters. He admires such poster artists as Drew Struzan from the US and the Italian artist Renato Casaro. At least 90% of his work comes from advertising. Photographs of art from the Ford calendar are shown.
