Japanese Tattoo


By: Milton Glaser

I love this poster. It really brings to life the story of how Japanese criminals
are tattooed all over their bodies. The fact that Milton did not place the people in the image in any color other than their tattoos show that they are identified and label with the markings on their bodies. Milton Glaser has a major impact on contemporary illustration and design. I did not Know that he was the creator of those I (heart) NY logos that I seem to see everywhere out side of New York.

Contratto 1922

By: Leonetto Cappiello
He is known as the father of modern advertising. He uses bold images on top of black or colored back ground. He is known for not following behind many artist of his time.
I find this design to be compelling in a way that it seems to have no regards to gravity the center images is just there hovering away not evening complying to time it self. It has a sense of control.
