I really liked Piscatello’s poster for Takaaki Matsumoto because of its creativity and simplicity. This simple piece of 4 rectangles makes up Matsumoto’s initials: T and m, the T in the middle and the whole thing being a rectangular M. The gradient makes it very appealing to look at as well, I thought of it almost like looking out of a big window in a tall building to see the darker gradient of the city below. Something even cooler is that it’s said by Piscatello that the atmospheric gradation references a Japanese landscape painting. The way that Matsumoto’s name is placed at the top also is perfect in contrast to the rest of it, the dark turning to light and then the sudden change back to dark with his name, the description in the middle rectangle is also very nicely done. Although hard to read, the darker gray in comparison to the lighter gray makes it work better than probably anything else would
