Shigeo (1932-) is a master of contemporary Japanese visual design. His design concepts and achievements in his design works have had a profound impact on the contemporary graphic design world. Fukuda was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1932. He graduated from Iwate Prefectural Fukuoka High School in 1951 (at the age of 19). After graduating from the Design Department of Tokyo National University of Arts in 1956 (at the age of 24), Fukuda began to show uniqueness in his works. With his own personality and concepts, he created a variety of creative development directions and expression techniques, becoming a relatively famous design newcomer at that time. In 1967 (at the age of 35), he held his first solo exhibition at the IBM Gallery in New York, USA. Subsequently, his works were widely exhibited in Europe, the United States and Japan, and won many awards. In 1982 (50 years old), he was invited by Yale University in the United States to serve as a guest lecturer. At the same time, Fukuda is also the vice president of the Japan Graphic Designers Association (JAGDA), a member of the International Alliance of Graphic Designers (TADC), a member of the International Alliance of Graphic Designers (GAI), and a member of the Royal Institute of Arts (RDI). Fukuda is the second generation of graphic designers following Japanese graphic design masters such as Yusaku Kamekura and Yoshio Hayakawa. Whether in Japan, Europe, the United States and other places, he is regarded as a design genius. Shigeo Fukuda, Gunter Rambow and Seymour Chwast are known as the "three major graphic designers in the world" today. [1] He wanted to be a cartoonist in high school, but because there was no cartoon major in art schools at that time, he finally put his humor and talent into the design field, and his design works have a strong sense of humor. For example, the "Victory of 1945" poster he designed in 1975 (Figure 2) uses a comic-like expression to create a concise and humorous graphic language, depicting a bullet flying back into the barrel of a gun. The image satirizes those who start wars and reap the consequences, which has profound meaning. This poster design commemorating the 30th anniversary of the end of World War II won an international graphic design award. The humor and fun in his design works can bring visual pleasure to viewers. Futian's creative scope is quite wide. In addition to book binding design, posters, calendars, illustrations, logo design, etc., it also involves various professional fields such as handicrafts, sculpture art, toys, architectural murals, and landscape modeling. In all the design fields he is involved in, he can bring his creative inspiration to the extreme, giving people an impressive visual beauty and artistic expression, revealing his unique creative charm. His large number of "Fukuda-style" poster works are more well-known to the world, and his works can almost be found in graphic design books today.
