express the meaning of each of the following 4 words —Bold, Stress, Tranquil and Kinetic. Using only 3 black squares or rectangles may seem to be a rather limited palette for expressing such diverse words, but consider how these forms can be expanded into a more comprehensive visual language by utilizing the various principles of design—unity/variety, emphasis/hierarchy, rhythm/repetition, scale/proportion, and balance.

Each basic type of alignment carries unique aesthetic qualities, cultural associations and potential hazards to the design of the page or screen. The distance from the baseline of one line of type to another is called line spacing or leading. The rhythmic termination of lines of text is called a rag.

LUBA LUKOVA

Bulgarian-born Luba Lukova, who now lives and works in New York City, is one of the most distinctive image-makers working today. Whether by using an economy of line, colour and text to pinpoint essential themes of the human condition or to succinctly illustrate social commentary, her work is undeniably powerful and thought provoking.

Using limited colour, engaging composition and hand-lettered typography, her distinctive graphic style is powerful in its simplicity, energetic contrasts and vivid colour, often achieved with single ink on coloured paper. Clockwise: The Taming of the Shrew, Sudan poster, Social Security poster

Most of Lukova’s work is done by hand, including illustrations and typography. Although she uses the computer to occasionally manipulate images, her insistence on hand drawing permeates her work with a wonderful liveliness and organic unity. Lukova has won numerous awards for her poster designs, including HOW Magazine’s International Design Competition Best of Show for “The Taming of the Shrew,” and Honor Laureate at the International

The poster, Sudan, is one of a myriad images that exemplifies this approach. Commissioned by a New York group, it raises awareness of the issue of poverty in Sudan. In this stark black and white image, an emaciated human face is pictured with open mouth. Within the mouth, we see a nutritional food label that indicates all nutrients are zero. Social Justice from 2008. It’s a series of 12 posters that she created. Lukova said, “This project is my cry for action. We have to change things for the good of the entire world, not only for America,” She employs accessible metaphors that present well-known issues in a succinct and iconic way, sometimes using humor to present disturbing issues. Her use of visual metaphors creates timeless, indelible images. Her art chisels away at the dross, the banal and the predictable, to reveal the heart of a subject. Lukova’s illustrations are diamond bright, shining a light for others to follow to their own truth.
