Device "Art Commercial" by Rian Hughes
We love the work of Rian Hughes, it's dynamic, skillful, vibrant, playful and exciting. A graphic designer, Rian's art illustrates promotions and products with bold graphic statements, he understands colour and how to use it. Type is used if necessary and placed to enhance the design. This book also provides the viewer with a selected array of fonts, but it is the mastery of his art form that amazes and tantalizes the reader.
