MOVIE & DESIGN
Art Direction for Movie Promotion
Noboru Okano
From the master Japanese advertising designer Noburu Okano, an eye-popping color retrospective of 20 years of posters, flyers, pamphlets, invitations and novelties designed to advertise a world of cinema. Many of the films are Japanese, but a good percentage are American, like Brokeback Mountain, Hotel Rwanda and Gus van Sant’s Elephant. It is a revelation to see how differently Okano approached using the film images for the Japanese market, what he chose to emphasize, compared to the American market’s designers. In every case, his mastery of the medium shines through. A fantastic opportunity to see how a product can be marketed in a different culture.

Neon Addict
A must-have handbook for anyone with a fondness for fluorescence: the world’s first collection of graphic works designed to show off the possibilities of fluorescent inks, from the inexhaustible geniuses at Japan’s BNN. Eight groups of designers have produced works showing effective and interesting uses of fluorescent inks in this beautifully printed book (some graphics use up to five plates in a luxurious process color print). Not to mention the beauty of the visuals, this is a valuable collection of spot color print samples and a design idea reference. Also includes concept notes, PANTONE ink colors and a selection of papers from matte to coated.
