I had already posted some examples of Ikko Tanaka’s art work. Here’s a 2nd series of his unique design style.
Ikko Tanaka has been honored by many awards: JAAC Special Selection, Mainichi Industrial Design Award, Japan’s Ministry of Education, Tokyo ADC Members’ Grand Prize, Purple Ribbon Medal, New York ADC Hall of Fame Prize, Tokyo Art Directors Club, Japan Cultural Award, and many more. The Art Directors Club wrote:
Strong, clean, and impactful are the best descriptives you could use to describe Ikko Tanaka’s work. They are universal images, honed with a fastidious eye: finding the natural flow of photographs in a book spread, steadying the central point of a corporate symbol so the mind retains every detail, and enriching the typographic and illustrative forces of a poster into a pure, homogeneous form.
