Task 5

The first designer has socially responsible I choose is Shigeo Fukuda. Shigeo Fukuda was good at to use simple pattern  and strong colors to design posters. Although he took over the business activities, but most works are the concern of society and culture, such as antiwar and environmental protection.


His most famous design work is the poster named Victory. This poster  is for the World War II ending 30 years. 



These two posters' main idea is environmental protection.


The second person I choose is an British artist named Banksy.


Banksy is an anonymous British graffiti artistpolitical activist, film director and painter. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine irreverent dark humour with graffiti done in a distinctive stencilling technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world.

Most of his art work are about antiwar, environmental protection and human rights.

The CD cover for Blur and the main idea is antiwar.


Others:



"You could say that graffiti is ugly, selfish and that it's just the action of people who want some pathetic kind of fame. But if that's true it's only because graffiti writers are just like everyone else in this fucking country".
