Shigeo Fukada

A thoroughly accomplished Japanese artist, who created thousands of optical illusion posters that most commonly portray deception. The New York Times described how Fukuda's posters "distilled complex concepts into compelling images of logo-simplicity".

This is probably his most well known piece, featuring a projectile heading towards, instead of away from, a cannon. The colour scheme is kept very minimal and the message clear. This is a very good example of how a message can be communicated without the need for a great deal of information. From this incredibly simple poster I get the idea that he thought war was pointless and 'Victory' is always bittersweet.
