Japanese posters from the edge
Article Abstract:
Graphic designer Makoto Saito's advertising posters are original because they place form above content in a medium that traditionally emphasizes the content, or products, advertised. Saito views his work first and foremost as art for its own sake rather than as promotional material geared to selling things. His designs evolved from reflecting a naked and visceral quality in the early 1980's to becoming more frantic and more difficult to define after 1985. Artistic influences in his later work include the Japanese motifs of Western Art Nouveau and Constructivism.
