1964 Tokyo Olympics Posters by Yusaku Kamekura -- Modern Japanese Graphic Art

If you guys like apples, then theres a high chance that you'll like Yusaku Kamekura's apples. Considered to be one of the founding graphic design pioneers during early 1900s Japan, Kamekura lived a respected life as being an important initiator in the design community.  He was a founding member in the Japan Artist Advertising Club (JAAC) as well as the Japan Graphic Designers Association (JAGDA).

Some of his best known works come from the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, where he has developed his own style in design, combining post-modern Western and traditional Japanese influence.

Truly effective minimalism achieved by the poster designs of Simon C. Page.  While taking a few design cues from the masters of minimal graphic design, Simon not only makes astronomy and space cool again, but he also finds a very aesthetic way to represent what are usually dull and uninspiring scientific diagrams.  All of these fine prints are available for purchase here.
