The cover of Design magazine No. 155 (February 1972), designed by Koji Kusafuka and published by Bijutsu Shuppansha, exemplifies the experimental and boundary-pushing spirit of 1970s Japanese graphic design. It cuts through all '70s avant-garde graphic design styles, blending abstract form and geometric composition with high-contrast color—aligning with the modernist taste of the time. The emergence of natural and structured forms reflects Kusafuka's new vision for visual communication.
