The Last Jew
I absolutely love stuff like this. Not the type -- it's seriously lacking -- but the main illustration. Read a brief description from the Washington post and see if you agree:
I like the simple and yet very graphic quality. The overlap making a coffin is a nice touch. It also has a bit of a spy vs spy look.
ReplyDeleteI agree: the illustration is really, really great. What I don't understand is that static typework - for me it eats up my nice first reaction.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately this design is a piece of unashamed plagarism. Look up Paul Rand's sleeve for The Second Man by Edward Grierson.
