Stylistic devices that characterize this designer in particular are strong diagonals and strong horizontal or vertical lines created by the focal image.

Leonetto Capiello's Contratto poster

Leonetto Capiello was an Italian poster designer (1875-1942). He is often referred to as the father in modern poster designing because of his innovation in poster design. He was the first poster artist to use bold black backgrounds. This black background contrasted with his images and lettering to help the image visually pop out. This particular poster demonstrates Capiello's style well. The image and lettering are clear, bold, and easy to understand. I particularly enjoy the drastic contrast he creates by using black backgrounds.

Neville Brody Nike Ad

Neville Brody is an English graphic designer, art director, and type designer. In 1988 Neville Brody worked and designed for Nike. Brody's variations of size and angles of the typeface Helvetica make this ad compelling and interesting. The ad is modern,eye catching, and clean all at the same time. Aesthetically I enjoy this piece because not only does it use contrast well, but it is also easy to read. The piece being so clear and easy to read gets the message across quickly, efficiently, and I understand it.
