Alvin Lustig
Alvin Lustig, The Ghost in the Underblows, 1940
Lustig's design style is heavily influenced by modernism, emphasizing simplicity, functionality and visual impact. His work often uses bold geometric shapes, stark contrasting colors and minimalist forms to convey a strong visual expression. His designs are not merely decorative, but enhance the emotion and theme of the content through form and color. He often uses abstract visual elements to convey the connotations of the book rather than just direct symbolism.
