Too much, too much, too much. Forgot to mention seeing a fantastic international poster exhibition at the Centro Cultural Clavijero last week. 10a. Bienal Internacional del Cartel en Mexico…AMAZING! There must've been 100 enormous posters exhibited in one of Morelia's most beautiful art museums. I recognized only a couple of designers from the States—Lanny Sommese and Paul Davis—favorites of mine since I was in college. But the real standouts for me, for inventive imagery and original type design, were Japan's Linda Ritoh (sculptor, graphic designer, and typographer) and the creepy modernist creations of the legendary Kazumasa Nagai. Limited color, beautiful compositions, odd...Yeah!
