Austin Cooper...
A successful cubism graphic designer. Presenting his collage-themed posters with all sorts of brights colors, overlapped text, large scaled geometric planes, and the twisting and distortion of those planes as well. His work grabbed my attention while reading through this section because I liked the layered approach of his poster's themes. They not only communicate a certain setting or landmark, but is also enhances his text by the variations of colors, some letters are italicized, and even how he used text placement to run up along the edges of posters or at angles as well. Some of his work even appears airbrushed which helps add texture and different dimensions to the geometric shapes.
Although he doesn't completely use the entire space,he worked well with leaving black and white space to his advantage so his work of color and collage would not be so overwhelming or viewed as distracting. On some larger images, you can see that they whole figure outline is not completed, but with him using splashes of solid color, they help provide balance and complete the simple thought, that he was trying to loosely communicate.
Below are posters that were done by Cooper, that reflect his sense of cubism, and depth portrayed by use of color, text, and imagery.
