• Graphic Novel: the writer, (usually) followed by the artist
• Film: (usually) The Director (though it can be the screenwriter if you wish to highlight them instead)
• TV: (usually) The Executive Producer
• Collection: Chief Editor or Curator
• Object: The object Inventor or Designer
• Building: The Architect

No matter what kind of format your source is, use the following chart to format your bibliographical entry according to author type:
