Milton Glaser
Angels in America:
The first image is symbolic and represents the theme of America and angels well. The colour scheme is very simplistic, using black, white and shades of grey. In this image he uses the gestalt principle of continuation as it still follows the same structure of the letter A and is easy to interpret.
This piece was a cover made for Phillip Roth. Again like most of Glaser's other works it follows a simplistic design and colour scheme however is still attractive. By using the gestalt principles of continuation and figure & ground it looks as if the beam of light is passing through the stage and onto the text below, illuminating it.
This logo was made for Stony Brook university and again we see how simplicity can be an effective tool. He uses the colour theory well by keeping each individual letter O a contrasting colour on the colour wheel. in this uses the gestalt principles of closure and continuation with the full closed O's and lines passing through and following through to the next O
