Here is a magazine I like to read called "PEN", it's a sort of life style, design, art magazine. This month their special is about Advertising. They introduce great now and old creators's wonderful works.
For example, from Old America, they show Lou Dorfsman who was vice president and art director for the CBS network ( I could hardly find good web pages about him in the U.S.) and George Lois is famous for his esquire magazine covers. Seymore Chwast who makes very playful happy design. I enjoyed seeings some of the beautiful "stoic" work by Wim Crouwel as big name of anti-advertising,
Anyway the cover for this month is artwork by Yuji Tokuda. This is one from his [ retired weapon ] project. He is an art directore for Japan's biggest advertising agency Dentsu. I like this summer bargain poster of Laforet , this postcard design, and this work for Kessels kramer ( this "do project" web page is fun!) Anyway the simple designs give us strong a message.
Thanks for the links, those are really interesting! It's interesting to see what people are being introduced by means of a magazine like this.
