Artist: Milton Glaser

Piece: Dante Fire

Milton Glaser is best known for his Bob Dylan poster and his "I Love New York" logo. It is said on that his work is best known for its directness, simplicity, and originality, (link) which can be seen in this piece. He has also designed everything from albums to advertisements.

I feel the color in this piece is used very well because it represents the the images they are put on well. For example cool colors and earth tones are placed on the the things that are considered background. By doing this, the images in the foreground that have warm tones  are set apart from the background and also better represent the fire and hellish tone of the images/poster.

Artist: Koloman Moser

Work: Art Nouveau advertising poster for the first Viennese Secession by Secession artist Koloman Moser Link

Koloman Moser was an Austrian artist who had a Art Nouveau style and was a main artist in the Vienna Secession.

Color and composition are the first things that stand out to me in this work. The warm fell of the poster create an inviting arrangement that make the piece easy on the eyes and go well with the enchanting tone/look of the compostion.

Piece: Airborn One

Year:?

FBA started out in the 1970's as a group of friends who lived in Manhattan.

I like that this piece's space is completely used up in that the group fills all the negative space in a way that goes well with the main elements of the piece. I think the group is better in this regard vs. when they only fill up half of the trains by painting from the windows down. I think that they should bring this type of composition to the boxcars.

Artist: Neville Brody

Name:Free Me from Freedom

Year:?

Some of Brody's more notable works/accomplishments are his album covers he did in the 80's for bands such as Depeche Mode, being a founding member of FontWorks, and being partly responsible for starting the FUSE project.

I feel the bold red color in the poster helps to being a balance to the contrast between the black and white colors, while at the same time, helps deliver the message of the poster. For example, I don't think that blue or any other color would deliver the same message. I also feel that using stroke on the TV with no fill was a good choice. If fill had been used, it would have put too much focus and weight on the layout.

Year: 1969?

Joseph Muller Brockman is a famous Swiss graphic designer who created posters for many different concerts and in 1958, he was a founding editor for the New Graphic Design. he was also famous for using the grid system for the type in his work.

I love how simple this poster is. It is just three circles that are used to make an album and whose colors are muted enough to keep the poster's look simple and elegant...not bright and loud.

These things help make for the serious and solid look/tone of the poster. One can also see the way the staggering of the text fits well within the grid system.
