Alvin Lustig - Book jacket design

How he has used colour to overlay text here, i think offers a differnt way to how the contents of a book could be represented, rather than it just being in black and white.


I was researching some articles that Steven Heller had written and came across Lustig. He introduced the principles of Graphic design to book jacket covers, so he is very relevant for to my FMP. Some of his work is quite modernist.But the work i have looked at is simple which is appropriate to what i want to achieve.He uses block colours and understated imagery.A good influence for the work i want to achieve.
