About Shigeo Fukuda
Known for his cutting antiwar and environmental advocacy posters, Fukuda died in January 2009.
The exhibit is designed as a tribute to the influential Japanese graphic designer who was an expert at communicating messages with minimal graphics. Fukuda won a major prize in the first CIIPE in 1979 and was Honor Laureate exhibitor in 1981, and juror in 1983. Fukuda’s frequent presence in Fort Collins in those early years was pivotal in gaining international recognition for CIIPE.
