The Mind – 1965
These wonderful posters are from Japanese artist, Kazumasa Nagai. The designs appeared in LIFE Magazine’s Science Library during the 1960s. Nagai’s work is reminiscent of another artist we’ve featured here on RSB, Yusaku Kamekura, and not only because Nagai is a Japanese graphic designer, but also because they both employ a strong use of negative space and bold colors in their designs.
The Growth – 1966
The Cell – 1966
And here’s a few more of my favorites that aren’t from LIFE. This Asahi poster is fantastic. I want it for my wall. Someone should make a replica with Lone Star beer to celebrate my home state.
Asahi Steinie – 1965
Expo 75′ International Ocean Exposition – 1975
Kōrakuen Jumbo Pool – 1973
That’s all for now. Take a scroll through all of Kazumasa Nagai’s work here. There are some real gems.
