Hiroshima Appeals: The Earth

18

Client: Japan Graphic Design Association Inc. Comment from the designer: The difficulty of commending “Peace” to a single poster is akin not just to the present-day war of the worlds, but also to the intricacies of the fundamental issue of human happiness, including the reality of a global food crisis. Thinking in terms of the poster as a contemporary “statement” and in light of the fact that this is the third in the series of Peace Posters to be proposed by JAGDA, I developed my design with the idea of emphasizing one act that people of this earth should not commit in respect of others. I also endeavored to create an image that was different in style to those of the first two posters in the series.
