Magazine Cover, Engineering Aesthetics
This is a Magazine Cover. It is dated 1990 and we acquired it in 1998. Its medium is offset lithograph on coated paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
Alexander Gelman’s minimal approach to graphic design favors flat fields of color in stark, clean arrangements. In this magazine cover, crisp planes of complementary colors clash in a zigzagging border, which vibrates with movement as the contrasting red and green elements affect the eye’s perception of each half of the design.
It is credited Gift of Design Machine.
