This is the cover of IDEA magazine from 1978, a design that combines cutouts and objects. A large, smiling cartoon face dominates most of it. Around it are real items such as scissors, sunglasses, pens, and tubes of paint, mixed with drawings and handwritten notes. The use of bright colors gives it a pop art feel. It also has an energetic feel, with a cartoon of a rock guitarist affixed to a blue sky and clouds. The design reflects the influence of foreign pop art and advertising on Japanese graphic design.
