Monroe

With branding as a major factor of graphic design, I just realized how well Marilyn Monroe branded herself. From changing her appearance to the blond beauty we know with her signature make up style, to changing her name and even learning to say it so it seemed sexy, and practicing her signature so they produced two sultry curly M's. She transformed herself, and even without the best acting skills her image lives on. 

"If I'd observed all the rules I'd never have got anywhere."
