Mario Garcia sees only one picture when he works -- the big one.

Garcia's name isn't in headlines. His mug doesn't appear on front pages. And aside from a few "note to our readers" mentions, most of his work goes unannounced.

But millions of newspaper readers see his influence every day. The 55-year-old graphic designer, author and academic has become one of the news industry's most prolific and influential designers.

Over his 30-year career, he's redesigned more than 500 publications, ranging from U.S. stalwarts The Wall Street Journal and Philadelphia Inquirer to European icons such as Handelsblatt and Die Zeit.

In the process he's become an industry icon himself, founding The Poynter Institute's visual journalism program and teaching at universities in 14 countries in the U.S., Latin America and Europe.

In 1993, he won the first lifetime achievement award from industry group Society of News Design, still one of only five ever awarded.
