Heads of State
The Heads of State create posters, books, illustrations and identities. Jason Kernevich and Dustin Summers have been working together since 2002. After graduating Tyler School of Art’s militant design program, they began making silkscreen posters for Philadelphia’s independent music scene. The graphics and simplicity of their work made an impact on the poster revival in North America. It was not long before they were given work from bigger companies such as The New York Times.
They have won awards from Communication Arts, American Illustration, Print Magazine, Graphis, and the Society of Illustrators. An example of their work is a series of limited edition 14×24 screen prints dedicated to eight american cities the represented cities include the beaches of Miami, New York’s Statue of Liberty, the Space Needle in Seattle, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Washington Monument in Washington D.C. among other cities/monuments. I personally prefer the Miami poster to the rest as I find the overlapping colours of the beach very creative as it is simple, clever and striking.
Richard Meier
Richard Meier is a an American architect, whose rationalist buildings make prominent use of the color white. He also creates collages that have no representation he collects things but disregards the meaning and looks only at ocmposition. Richard Meier's collages complement his architecture. They are unlike his architectural drawings in some ways as they do not represent anything and yet they are similar as they record process. Like architecture itself, they study relationships in space.
